You know what I meant (in bold). I dont think Vick needs to be placed on high alert for the potential of killing a human. I think what most people agree to (whether you like or dislike dogs), it takes a very sick individual to be able to committ that kind of abuse to an animal, and going further to actually take pleasure in it and view it as an accepted lifestyle is just plain insane.

Hey King, hows your jump shot?

Much ado about nothing.

I doubt he will be the kind of weapon for the Eagles many people think.

If the Fish don't score 4 TD's on an unprepared Pats defense - each of them with Chad Pennington lined up as a wide reciever - no one rationally expects Vick to be that much of a weapon coming out of jail.

He's basically an athlete - who's a lot more of a passing threat out of the wildcat. A formation that probably won't fool any competent defense now that it has been studied longer.

I'm surprised the Raiders didn't throw big money at both him and Usain Bolt .. they could run the wildcat with those two in the backfield .. and have the real housewives of New York - or just 5 movie theater turnstiles manning the offensive line.

I believe very much that people are products of their invironment. Doesn't mean that they can't change but when you grow up with something as part of the norm, how do you learn that it's not the norm? And even if it's something that I you wouldn't ever do (and I'd never get involved in doing it), I have seen it many times. Grew up with people that did it. It just doesn't illicit the outrage in me. I've had people tell me that they don't know how I can watch racing because the jockeys beat the horses with whips until their little bones break and they die and then they are shot and killed on the track. I'm not putting it on the same level as dog fighting/killing but when you think about it and be honest, it is a brutal sport and and a lot of people that love horses think racing is barbaric. For me though, it's normal.
