Apologies

Ok i know all you people that love to read my blog and then send me hate mail will have a field day with this one....

As for Mr. Vick's speech, I genuinely think he felt bad. Bad for dog-fighting or gambling?? No,but I think he has realized the magnitude of his status as a player in the NFL. It was a great speech and I do not think anyone else told him the exact words to say or that it was memorized. After hearing the speech I think he can go on and play for another team if the NFL allows him. In Atlanta people are bombarded with this story on an almost hourly basis. In other cities while its a national story its usually no more than a few minute blurb on CNN or the local news not nearly the ATL saga and drama. That having been said 2-3 years down the road it will all be less of a story and a team on the other side of the country would be more than happy to take him and much more forgiving than those in Atlanta.

My only criticism on the speech was the 'Jesus path'. Now I am not seeing that he has not genuinely turned to God. But to come out with that the 1st time you speak publicly the day you plead guilty is just so cliche to me. I was at the gym and I almost fell off the thread mill when I heard that part. Save that true or not for the future talk-show circuit. Hold out for Opera!!

Not sure if anyone caught the ESPN discussion before his speech on race. Very enlightening. I still say this Vick situation is not about dogs or race. If a no name player on the same team say Roddy White or any other team of the same race was in the same situation it would not be as big a story. This story is so big because he was Atlanta, he was the Falcons and he was the NFL. That and that alone to me is why the story is so huge. Do you honestly thin if Peyton Manning was indicted for the same thing it wouldn't be such a mega-story??? Its not race its stupidity and arrogance.

if in the beginning he had come clean and admitted to it the story would not be on the level it is today. Martha Stewart same thing. If she had not gave the Feds 2 fingers to the sky she would not have gone to prison. Same story. When the feds come just apologize and don't tell them to kiss your ass especially if you know you did it.

By the way who the hell is Leonard Little and who did he kill??????

I am off to the Pre-season game tonight for the Falcons and one of my favs Ocho-cinco. It will be interesting to see if PETA is still protesting outside:)

Kisses,
