It's no lie. I'm a huge Michael Vick fan. I have been since the Sugar Bowl against Florida State where Virginia Tech's offensive line sat on lawn chairs and let the entire FSU defense try to kill Michael Vick and yet they still couldn't get him. Probably one of my favorite childhood college football moments.
With that said, I'm obviously not condoning what he did. He did a horrific thing to those dogs and should have paid the price. Here's what I don't get. 23 months of jail time including house arrest?
Brett Myers was seen outside a club in NYC beating up his wife and dragging her down the street. Penalty...he pitched his next start but he is Brett Myers which is penalty enough. The sports landscape is filled with DUIs, spouse abuse, battery, accepting bribes, you name it.
Take the most recent example of Dante Stallworth. He got drunk and hit and killed a pedestrian walking in the street. He paid a settlement to the family and got 30 days in jail. Today he was released after DAY 24. I mean seriously 24 days for vehicular homicide and a DUI.
I just don't get it. Evidently killing a man driving drunk is 1/25 of the crime as financing a dog fighting ring.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
And nobody seems to care.
