Dozens of quarterbacks since, not to mention both coaches in last season's Superbowl, were black. As if it's even necessary to dignify the old canard by refuting it.

In fact, Vick, personally, may actually not be smart enough to be a quarterback -- or even a contributing member of society. In his Sports Illustrated column, Don Banks wrote: "'He's not very bright at all,' the source said of Vick. 'And that's a big part of his problems. He's a very unintelligent person and he makes poor decisions because of it.'"

On what to do with both the football and his life.

Grade On A Curve?

There's lots of excuses I'm sure.

Maybe it's my fault, since I'm a dog lover.

I'm also sick of gratuitous violence.

I'm also sick of gambling and speculating. Be it on OIL Futures or Real Estate. Or apparently just about anything.

So I'm not the person to ask about Micheal Vick.

I do wish him well.  We all make mistakes and hurt life one way or another.

Forgive and Forget? Perhaps not quite there yet.
