			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aside from running a dogfighting ring and personally killing dogs, Michael Vick hasn&#8217;t had any character issues, Terrell Owens <a href="http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/745189.html" target="_blank">says</a>. Therefore, he deserves a second chance.</p>
<p>Hmm&#8230; Can you count the number of things wrong with that statement?</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1164" title="Terrell Owens" src="http://www.thephillysportsjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Terrell-Owens.jpg" alt="Terrell Owens" width="238" height="174" />Unfortunately, T.O. isn&#8217;t the only one who thinks Vick &#8220;deserves&#8221; a second chance. But Michael Vick already got a second chance — he&#8217;s not in prison anymore.</p>
<p>He got a second chance at making something of his life, a second chance at freedom. It doesn&#8217;t mean he simply gets to pick up where he left off in the NFL.</p>
<p>Owens says Vick has &#8220;suffered enough,&#8221; as if we should feel sorry for him, and that there are guys around the league who &#8220;have done far worse things&#8221; than Vick did and they&#8217;ve gotten second chances.</p>
<p>Really? Who?</p>
<p>There have been plenty of guys who&#8217;ve committed crimes, even crimes that have resulted in people&#8217;s deaths. But how many of those guys had the depraved <em>intent</em> that Michael Vick had when he derived pleasure from murdering dogs? What Vick did was irresponsible but it was no accident. It was how he got his kicks.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thephillysportsjournal.com/2007/08/27/going-deep-plain-old-mike/" target="_blank">Here</a> are my thoughts on Vick, which I laid out when he pled guilty. Maybe T.O. just doesn&#8217;t want to be the only outcast stuck in Buffalo.</p>
