Micheal Vick

In one of the NFL's worst offseason troubles, the situation with Micheal Vick pokes at me the most. I am not a animal rights activist or a dog fighter, but I think this is ridiculous.

If dogs have rights, what about the cows, pigs, "lions tigers and bears Oh my..." On the other hand, it is illegal.

I spoke to a former teamate of mine Marcus Spears today, and he gave some pretty insightful information about how the NFL should handle this. "To allow himself to get caught up in it is plain silly" Spears said.

Spears, whom is a Lousiana native informed me that dogfigting is rampant in that state. He also said that people who engage in dogfighting are pretty passionate about the sport. So where does that leave us with Micheal Vick? Is he passionate about this, or is he just an innocent by stander by just trying to help his family have a comfortable place to stay?

I don't know, and we won't find out for awhile but I would like to shed some light on my own personal experience. Now by NO means did I make Micheal Vick money, but I was able to buy a house in Atlanta for my Mother (before she died) in which after her passing, my older brother and younger sister stayed there. I owned the house for 4 years and only spent a maximum of 2weeks at that house during that time span. To make a long story short, it is conceivable that Micheal Vick could be telling the truth.

If he is not, this is what Marcus Spears had to say "1st off it's illegal, and Why would you jeopardize your life and career?" Good question.

He also feels strongly that the NFL should stop getting rid of leadership in the lockerooms and "creating a circus, because when you have a circus, you have clowns!"

Great analogy.
