Last night, in the lead-up to the reliably worthless insights of Andy Rooney, "60 Minutes" ran an interview with Michael Vick -- his first since being imprisoned for running a dog-fighting ring. It went exactly like interviews of this sort tend to go. Interviewer James Brown fished for an apology, and Vick complied, before shedding a tear which then turned into a rainbow. (The last part may have just been our faulty TiVo.)
We thought the most interesting part of the interview was how the producers juxtaposed the old Vick being surrounded by his entourage of shady characters with the new Vick entourage of lawyers and PR advisers. It basically said a new crew has Vick's back, only this time, the crew is hoping to be part of his still-lucrative football potential, rather than his entrepreneurial interest in dog torture.
So is this apology the real Michael Vick or do you think it's just another group of hangers-on telling him how to conduct himself? Check out the interview in its entirety, after the jump.

For me, it boils down to it doesn't make any difference to me what his motive is. It only matters what his performance in life is. If he stays away from fighting dogs and supports efforts to treat animals correctly, I will consider Vick a changed man. We pay for performance, not excuses.

If Vick wants the excitement of killing animals I suggest he go hunting wolves with Sarah Palin, or bird hunting with Dick Cheney or John Kerry, maybe he can shoot deer or turkey's on ESPN2s "Driven to Hunt", how about sport fishing for fun, nothing like dragging a shark by a hook in its mouth until it is dead tired, literally. We have so many options if we want to kill defenseless animals for the heck of it that are legal in this country, there is no need to resort to fighting pitbulls.

I'm not a peta-phile or anything, but I think what he did to these dogs was a terrible thing. What did he get, a few years in prison?? Not enough. He should have been thrown in a pit with a bunch of these dogs to see how long he would last. Now I don't think that the NFL should get rid of him because of this, I mean hell, it's not like he was doing it in the locker room, but he should have the dignity to take himself out of the public eye and retire.

where was peta when that unarmed black guy was shot by the cops. Peta is more concern about animals then people. Why not leave Mike Vick along he did his time. Look around other human here in this country need your attention....
