vick on "60 minutes"

I don't think Dungy's reputation is on the line at all. People respect Tony Dungy. Most people have a general idea of what kind of person Tony Dungy is. If Mike Vick fucks up again, it's going to be because Mike Vick is an idiot, not because of anything Tony Dungy said or did.

 

I agree with just about all you wrote, though I wonder if he has even cared to weigh any potential reward/risk for himself.

Didn't mean to imply that you shouldn't care or didn't have reason/right to do so.

 

I'm not defending Vick, but he gets crucified for running the dogfighting ring, goes to prison and is now trying to rebuild his life.
Ray Lewis kills someone, doesn't spend a night in prison, is still in the NFL and then, years later, speaks at McNair's funeral.
Only in America.

 

When did Ray Lewis kill someone? Did I miss that?

 

I am amazed at how so many people can say that he is not showing enough remorse for what he did. What more can he do? He's been to prison. He's broke. He has apologized. He can't bring the dogs back. I don't understand what more people want from him.
I say he's paid his debt. Leave him alone and allow him to live his life. If it's back to the NFL, then so be it, but this guy is being villified over and over and over again. Hell, Rae Carruth, Ray Lewis even Dante Stallworth, have gone through what this guy has. Also, what does it say when you can get a month in prison for killing a man while driving impaired but receive two years in prison?
It tells me that justice is truly blind.

 

I don't give a shit if he shows no remorse at all. He did his time.

 

I was skeptical about Vick's sincerity from the outset.

Then he said he cried in prison because he lost his freedom. That pissed me off.

Then he said he wanted to get back to church as he had been raised (if I understood him correctly). At that point, I knew he isn't sincere at all. I am surprised PETA is buying the act.

 

I put this out on an earlier thread and perhaps it may have a bearing here. It would appear that many of those who oppose this guy coming back are not African American. I'd like to think that race isn't a factor in this but is it?

 

Agree 100 percent. He was held accountable for his actions and that's more than anyone can say about 99.9 percent of professional athletes.

That said, Chris Martin faced tougher questions last night than Vick did.

 

Michael Vick is the needless media feeding frenzy of the moment. I couldn't care less about any of it.
