Finally Vick gets his own doghouse...

(I was gonna find a pic to go along with this post, but no matter what I looked at, I just felt it would have been in poor taste.)

I was a big Vick fan. Not a Koolaid-drinking, blind-faith spouting, rabid fan, but rather an admirer of the man's obvious athletic talent.

And I hope I never see him in a football uniform ever again.

Not NFL. Not CFL. Not Arena Football League. Not the European Football League. Not even McMahon's old XFL.

Vick used his power and money to build and develop his own dogfighting compound, financed it, and evidently not only appeared at the fights themselves, but also participated in the sacrificing and execution of innocent dogs.

There is no excuse for what he did, and it has infuriated me over the last several months as I have listened to him spout all kinds of spin-control crap. He stated out talking about how he's such an animal lover and could never do anything like this. Then he is quote saying no matter where he goes in the world, "Mike Vick" is always going to get the support of his fans. Now that he has accepted a plea agreement, you don't here him saying anything about retracted all the flat out lies he has been spouting for the last several months.

One thing I am glad of: The Power of Celebrity appears to be tarnishing. Vick's going to prison for at least 12 months and is likely done forever in his gravy train that is the NFL. Other celebrities (Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, etc.) are actually stating to get jail time. Yeah, nothing compared to what Vick will get or deserves, but at least celebrities are actually getting SENTENCED and not just sent to some posh "rehab facility." Is their treatment equal to us "common people" yet? Not even close. But maybe our society is just getting fed up with these elitist celebrity idiots. We can only hope.

Hey Mike. Hope you can run and juke in jail like you can on the football field, 'cos you're gonna be running for your life in there.

Good.
