This about sums up my feelings about Mike Vick

ESPN Page 2 - Easterbrook: Sympathy for Vick

It's not so much a defense of Mike Vick and what he may or may not have done. Instead it's an indictment of a system of athletic celebrity and wealth that allows someone to think they can do whatever they want, damn the consequences. I may not always agree with what Gregg Easterbrook writes, but here he is dead on in condemning a system that allows a situation like this to arise.
