Here’s to you Michael Vick.  Today you walk out of the US penal system after 23 months of incarceration (in one form or another).  PETA will demonize you, Roger Goodell will posture around you, and you’re middle name may as well be “puppy butcher” for the stigma stink you’ll carry around with you.  But unlike most overpaid athletes with high priced lawyers who skirt the law, raping, murdering, shooting – you took your punishment.

It doesn’t matter whether you liked it or chose it, you took it.  In a society that preaches individual responsibility but consistently acquits its sports heroes for their numerous and grave misdeeds, you set a new example by wearing the dog collar you made.

Killin’ It, friends, is  taking the whip of misdeed, bearing the weight of your mistakes, and walking onward.
