Many people, or friends and co-workers, have asked me about my opinion on Michael Vick, I assume because I am both a fan of both animals and the NFL. And this is my official statement.

Despite your feelings about cats and dogs, the situation surrounding Michael Vick has made one thing clear: despite how cruel you are to people or animals, if you are good at sports, your road to life will be paved with gold.

Dante Stallworth was a very talented wide-receiver with the Cleveland Browns. I say was, because he is no longer with them, due to his DUI charges in March of 2009. He killed one man.

Plaxico Burress dropped a gun in a nightclub, and received a 2 year sentence. He hurt no one.

I have to say, out of all of these cases, Michael Vick got off the easiest. It has nothing to do with the fact that the victim was dogs. What is does have to do with is the fact that Dante Stallworth and Plaxico Burress never intended for anyone to get hurt. They were complete idiots, but they never intended to hurt anyone. Michael Vick, however, was incredibly pre-meditated in his cruelty to animals. He set out to make a profit off of dogs that had their teeth beat out of their heads, that were electrocuted, that were tortured.

Michael Vick is a different situation. If you can lay your hand on a being that has a beating heart and warm breath, and then take a hammer and beat out its teeth, than you are a bad person. I place you in the same league that I place Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacey. You are a serial killer.

If you do these things, and then a football team places you on their roster, well, you are a football team that I will boycott. Again, I make the point, you are proving that no matter how bad you are, if you can throw a ball, then you can do well in life.

Is this what you want to teach children?
