I was skeptical at first but he has admitted it all, and he has also said he couldnt do it without God, i understand that bit...i believe him and hope that he will be a great advocate for the removal of the heinous crimes committed by others and better still....who better to reach those kids than someone who has been there,

The only thing Vick feels bad about is getting caught.

Michael Vick you are a piece of human feces. No one will ever forget the montrous horrors you committed. You should be locked up in a mental ward for the rest of your unnatrual life!

America is the land of second chances. Michael Vick deserves a second chance just like everyone else will get. We are taught to learn from our mistakes, and if we do commit mistakes we teach others not to commit the same mistakes. Non- supportive people against Vick say that we should put him in a cage with enraged furocious animals and watch him fight for his life. Do they know that Vick served Two years in a State correctional Facility. They call prison the animal Houser. Vick has already survived being locked up with animals.People are very judgemental in the U.S.. They rather watch someone suffer than to help him. The same way people make mistakes is also a way for that person to change. Vick is a rolemodel to many athletes. What Vick accomplish on the football field is such a milestone. Hewas the first generation of a brand new era of quarterbacks. Respect the Man, he's trying to do the right thing. I also have two dogs that i very much love, just in case your wondering.
Long Live Vick Do yo thang Boi

.......to (blessed1inHim).......So, now you feel I am a potential serial killer?.....Hmmmmmmmm....For speaking against Michael Vick?....So, if I speak against you, what will you think?......That I am the devil incarnate?..........Well, let's try this.....Would you be considered the threat to society, because you would just let it go, on anything Michael Vick did?.......And surely you know that serial killers start out abusing and killing small animals......You remember, the things Michael Vick had been doing for 6 years while with the Falcons and 4 years before that time......So, Vick would be the potential serial killer?..... do you see MY point?..........Actually, the whole point of all these post, is to talk about either the horrendous acts of Vick or attack other's opinions......I am of the opinion Vick deserves nothing for the sum total of who Vick is and all he did to dogs, children, women, business associates, teams, companies, banks, employees, etc.............Would your opinion be any punishment for Vick?....and if so, how much?......As I said before, each individual makes a judgement on what is, "owed".......What is yours?

Get real people. Vick is a grown man who knew right from wrong. He has no remorse for his actions, so I have no remorse for him! I think we should put him in a small little cage and have each dog one by one get a chance to play with him :-)

....Why should it amaze you that America is so, "unforgiving"?......Doesn't that tell you how disgusted and horrified America is with the actions of Vick, for the last 10 years?.....Telling the rest of society, they are not perfect, so they can't judge Vick, is, well, ludicrus to put it nicely..........And do you say the same things to a judge, jury, and judicial system?.........Vick brought all this upon himself......Going to prison is nothing more than simple punishment......It pays for nothing.....It earns nothing....It does not pay his debt to society.......How much Vick owes society, and the dogs lives, he abused, is in the mind of everyone who has read the details of Vick's story and actions......Each individual makes a judgement of what is owed, based on a multitude of variables.......Some individuals will not forgive or forget..ever.........And will always write letters of protest to the NFL, Eagles, sponsors and any supporters thereof......

It amazes me how America is so unforgiving. Remember when you messed up, as none of us are perfect, but yet we crucify each other for doing wrong. If God had allowed all of the junk in our closets to be exposed what would we do. We must stop trying to play God and forgive. God says that vengence is His and he shall repay. The bible also says that we must forgive so that our heavenly father will forgive us. We must stop being so judgemental and self righteous. Please don't let this be a black or white issue but let it be a "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" issue. Thank God for Grace and Mercy for us all. None of us are perfect.

I am not holding my breath..I don't think he is sincere. What I heard was he cried and was sorry that he got caught and is willing to do anything to save himself and his career. The NFL and Pacelle should be ashamed!! Because I don't think Vic does!

... People do stop and think about all that Vick did......and then they judge him as a cruel, stupid person who deserves nothing..........Your statemnet says, "the incident maddens you beyond no end".....Which part?....The killing of dogs for fun, the drugs, the gambling, the illegal fraud of pension funds, the lies, etc, etc?....Or the negative remarks about Vick?..........And then you indicate, negative people, "You have sin, can't see the "light", and lack perspective", so don't judge Michael Vick............Vick had everything, as they say, and yet did horrendous things to animals and cheated at everything given him, for more than six years......He deserves the negative thoughts and statements........That is the only thing he has earned.......
