Vick says his whole life was a lie
I’ll be the first to say that I didn’t want Michael Vick back in the NFL. I didn’t think he deserved it as I thought everything he did was reprehensible enough that he should find other employment. As for football being his livelihood, that’s what the UFL and CFL are for.
But, he’s back, and I have to admit I’ve softened my stance a bit. And his interview with Jim Mora that aired this morning on NFL Network made me soften even more. This is what I wanted to hear from him last year, but never did.
“There was nothing you could do, Jim,” Vick told Mora. “The best thing for me, that ever happened to me up to this point, as crazy as it may sound, was me being shipped off to Kansas. Because other than that, I wasn’t going to change. I wasn’t going to get all the people away from me that was leeches and wanted to be around. I wasn’t going to stop fighting dogs.”
He said he wasn’t going to change his life because he knew what a superstar he was. He said, “I was thinking, hey, man, I’m Mike Vick, what’s the worst thing that’s gonna happen to me?”
Vick said that if he wasn’t forced to go to Leavenworth, he would have never changed. And he’s pretty damn believable.
“My mom tried to tell me,” Vick said. “In one ear and out the other. There was nothing nobody could have done to change my situation but the man upstairs, who said, ‘Listen, before this goes any further, I’m going to take all this away from you for a while.’”
Mora, who said he hadn’t seen Vick since Mora was fired a couple years ago, asked him about how he misled the coaches and staff in Atlanta.
“My whole life was a lie, Jim — everything, A to Z,” Vick said, adding that he was constantly at his dog-fighting operation. “Every week — every week. . . . I just told you, my whole life was a lie, Jim.”
It was a very revealing interview, and the kind of frank chat that he should have had last year. There was something still reserved in him last year. He just didn’t come off as genuine to me. But, he’s starting to now and it sounds like he’s grown up quite a bit.
Hopefully, he has.

Two consenting adults wrestling isn't really in the same arena as breeding, torturing and murdering animals is it? Why does it always have to be a racial issue? Why can't it just be a human ethics issue? Why is it that when black stars do something wrong (like OJ mirdering a white girl or Mike Vick torturing animals or that down low black preacher in Atlanta) then the black community bands together and supports NO MATTER WHAT! White people simply call it the way it is. White priest molests, we take him down. White person murders someone, we support the death penalty. White person rapes, etc. I have never seen a white mob support a white criminal because they were white but black people do it on sheer principle. What's up with that? That is the topic that should be discussed. I am not saying there is not white hilly billy racist trash out there but that's a small minority whereas Atlanta (where I live) happens to be the most racist city in the country (blacks against whites). If racism is to be conquered, both sides need to acknowledge it.
