Michael Vick Stands on his Own Two Feet

When news of Michael Vick’s participation in dog fighting made the news, back in July 2007, I labeled him a bastard in this post, and noted that a total loss of income would be a more suitable punishment than time in jail.

Vick is now released from prison, and has been signed by the Philadelphia Eagles.  Last night, Vick was on the teevee show 60 Minutes and squarely accepted the blame for his despicable participation in dog fighting with this statement.

I blame me.

It’s not often, any longer, that you will see an individual stand on his own two feet and acknowledge that their travails are their own rather than passing blame to spankings as a kid, or some such blather.

I hope Michael Vick achieves a new level of success as a quarterback for the Eagles.
