My take is what I said before. IF he's convicted, he should face the full penalty that comes along with the crime. I've never said otherwise. I've never said that he was innocent or that he was a good guy. I've only said that he, like anyone else in this world, should have a chance to have the facts looked at and a trial to determine his/her guilt or innocence. I remember just last year, everyone was rushing to judgement in the Duke lacross case. They indicted them and cancelled their season, affecting quite a few people. How did that turn out? I just don't like the fact that in today's world of instant news, everyone having blogs, 24-hr news channels and countless sports radio, everyone feels that they have to convict before the facts are in.

Personally, I feel that Vick is not a person that I'd care to be in the company of and I wouldn't send my kids to his football camp because I don't feel he is a good role model. But that's just my personal feeling. It doesn't make him guilty of the crimes he's accused of. Yes, where there is smoke there is often fire. But, and maybe it's naive of me, but I still like to believe that the old American principles still have a place here. Maybe not.

That is my opinion.
