Vick: 'I need to grow up'

"What I did was very immature so that means I need to grow up," he said.

He said, "Through this situation I've found Jesus."

[ZULU]

“He said, “Through this situation I’ve found Jesus.””

A common mantra.

Vic is a mutant, an aberration, a freak. To allow him to continue to play football and create a role image for young men, especially yuong black men, would be a crime.

A kinder, more civilized society would have executed him for his heinous and inhuman acts.

"What I did was very immature so that means I need to grow up," he said.

It is sadistic. That's why it is illegal.Setting up an operation to fight these animals is a grown up, as loosely as the term can be applied here, act.

Blank is worried about the bottom line.

Not a word about the poor dogs.

[USMCWife6869]

ROFL, he really covered all his bases there. He wants to make sure he puts something in his speech for everyone.

[Abathar]

I would love to see how the crowd reacts the first time he steps on the field either in the arena or Canadian league. I don’t think any team owner no matter how good he is will risk the possibility of plunging ticket sales if they sign him.

[sheana]

He is not immature, he is stupid.
If someone came to me waving $22 million in my face and said....here ya go, just behave yourself for a couple of years, they would think I walked on water.

Blank better hope he doesn’t have any more dogfight aficionados on the team. Part of Vick’s plea deal includes Vick snitching.

[massgopguy]

Elway owns an Arena team, he says no way to Vick.

[battlegearboat]

He's still on the team!

WTF!

[Hydroshock]

I agreed.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Prison time isn’t likely to change his character for the better.

Vick will be the big sodomite who helps punish all the little offenders by raping them.

[RexBeach]

Reminds me of the old saying, and I cannot recall who said it or wrote it: “When Jesus is all you have left, you find out that Jesus is all you need.”

I’d like to think that Mr. Vick meant what he said about faith.

We shall see, won’t we?

In the meantime, it seems a rather stale and trite statement.

Hey, I think the man’s a sluggo, but I hope he’s ready to pay for his sins and his crimes.

[rlmorel]

I guess I don’t find it surprising...the same way many men find God on the battlefield. Adversity can do it.

"I found Jesus"

He's going to be going to Bible study with Paris Hilton.

[3AngelaD]

He is obviously a sociopath or a psychopath who is in need of prolonged and intense psychiatric treatment. People who abuse animals like this inevitably progress to harming humans. Many turn out to be murderers, or serial murderers. This is one sick individual. A shrink would have more than a field day with this guy, he would have an entire book and material for a doctoral thesis.

[SteveMcKing]

"I found Jesus" Religion: The opiate of criminals, too.

What's he supposed to do then? What else did you want him to say?

Christianity is exactly made for someone in his situation. If he's sorry, he's sorry. There is no reason to doubt that.

[rlmorel]

He forgot “World Peace”.

[BuffaloJack]

We could expect more sincerity from a crocodile.

[Preachin']

“It’s always amazing how people find Jesus when their finances and careers are threatened....”

I did it myself, and I have remained on board. He did not say that he did no wrong. He was honest in the article about doing stupid things. Just give him time and we will see if he means it. You don’t just grow up overnight.

I have done some stupid things in my life, and most of them are unknown. Mike Vick is a celebrity, so we get all of the details.

[Hydroshock]

Good, another reason to like Arena Football. Although he might be starting for the Singsing Slashers soon.
