I watched Michael Vick's interview on 60 Minutes, and I have to say, I'm just not buying it - I'm not seeing what I would consider true remorse for what he did. Then again, he's been coached up the yin-yang by PR experts on what to say and how to say it, and maybe that's the problem - listening to the words that have almost assuredly been put into his mouth, it's the typical "express a generic heartfelt apology while admitting as little blame as possible" fluffernutter that politicians have become so good at.
He, Michael Vick, personally did cruel and vicious things to innocent dogs. Then he lied about it, in order to keep making a multi-million NFL salary. That's hard to read about without getting nauseous. He's done his time in jail, and deserves a chance to start over in life, but I'm not sure he deserves to play in the NFL again, and have children all across America view him as a role model, when he hurt and killed innocent dogs for amusement.
Of course, we the ticket-buying public essentially pay football players to ram into each other for our amusement - the difference, though, is that football players know what they're in for when they sign up, they have armies of medical staff to keep them healthy, and they get paid quite handsomely for their trouble. And last I checked, no NFL player was ever hung for not playing well.
