Michael Vick's Amazing Game

Maybe you are not a fan of Michael Vick, but if you are a fan of the game of football, you had to love his performance last night against the Washington Redskins. From the 88-yard touchdown pass (64 in the air) on the first play of the game to the last yard of his 333-yard performance, it was exciting to see that level of skill.

The media were soul-searching and hand-wringing today. Even NPR got in on the discussion of the "fans' dilemma about whether being a great football player can make up for his past crimes". I'll answer that with two names known for comebacks: Mohammed Ali and Kobe Bryant.

While I find dog fighting reprehensible personally, the fact is that I do not look to the football field to find my moral compass. Furthermore, Michael Vick paid his debt to society as sentenced. Once that is done, I believe it should be over. And, as a side note, I believe the right to vote should also be restored. Otherwise, what is the point?
