When I am watching football, Molly will not allow me to pull for Michael Vick. Its because of all of the trouble he got into with the dogs. Molly believes that anybody that abuses dogs is not worth paying attention to. I have to agree with her.
There are certain football players that come along that I just enjoy watching play even though they do not play for a team I pull for. Barry Sanders, Lawrence Taylor, Steve Largent, Jim Zorn, Earl Campbell are just a few of the names. I enjoyed watching Michael Vick play. He is probably the best athlete to ever play Quarterback in the NFL. When I started watching the Philadelphia Eagles-Washington Redskins game last Monday night, Molly showed her indifference by going into the room (after she farted, of course, to really let me know what she thought).
It is true that he has paid his debt to society by serving his prison time and doing everything that has been asked of him but how many convicted felons can step right back into a job like that and stand to make millions more in the future just because he can run with and throw a football. Is he truly repentant? Or is this just a public relations move in order to get back in the good graces in the public's eye? That is yet to be seen. As long as Molly don't find out, I can still quietly enjoy watching him play.
