I remember seeing a video of OJ confessing Jesus as his savior. You can say that all you want. It’s the change in your heart, your attitude and your life style that is the key. God is not mocked.

Vick's 'Jerry McGuire'-like agent surely wrote this statement for him last week when the first rumblings surfaced that Arthur Blank was going after Vick's $22 million signing bonus that the agent probably received 10% of.

If I were Vick's agent, I'd be scrambling my ass off trying to keep $2.2 million from flying out of my checking account like a freed pigeon thanks to the ghetto antics of my half-retarded manchild client.

I am far from perfect, but I wish people would find Jesus before they commit a crime.

There are a lot of guys in prison named Jesus.

Hey Vick, meet Jesus Gonzales:

The CFL instituted the “Ricky Williams Rule” whereby someone suspended from another league cannot play fo rthe CFL.

You are probably correct.

However, I would call that flat-out lying rather than using christianity as an "opiate".

You can’t gain a conscience. You either have one or you don’t. He’ll never change and is a danger to society.

It doesn't work that way. A man repents, he is forgiven by God. We have no way of knowing his sincerity, but it's wrong to just call him a liar without proof.

People do change. That's central to sin and redemption.

Has nothing to do with maturity. The majority of children do not torture animals and those that do usually grow up to be serial killers.

That ought to be worth $100,000,000 right there.

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

cruelty is not an ‘immaturity’ issue - it is a character flaw, systemic.

Rot in hell, Vick, with the rest of the animal abusers and the child molesters (same thing).

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

You must have been reading my mind. Vegas have any odds as to how soon he will find alah in jail?

I need to grow up,” he said. He said, “Through this situation I’ve found Jesus.”

Translation: “Recently life is a pit-bull and I’m wearing milk-bone underwear.”

Animals are not the same as human children. Think about it.

What you say is true, but we need to give him the benefit of the doubt here. If there is anyone on this board who has not sinned, let him cast the first stone.

Prison is not what Vick fears. He fears bankruptcy more then anything.

Fine him heavily. Put a major dent in his bank account. Take his assets. If he’s in jail then the media comes running. They wont respond if he’s broke.
