I&#8217;m all for Michael Vick truly repenting and throwing himself totally into humane education. I would love to see him work full time to educate against dogfighting and other forms of animal cruelty. Forget the NFL. He has more important things to do.<!--more-->I would love to see him with a TV show exposing animal cruelty and educating people about proper care of animals. Forget partnering with the HSUS\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthat will just degrade his credibility even further. How about a TV show with all of the proceeds going to Best Friends and Bad Rap to repay all other costs of caring for the Vicktory dogs? And once those costs are covered, he continues the show and just keeps giving back. I think that, along with a permanent retirement from the NFL, just might show that his heart is in the right place and that he gets it now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">Please let me know your comments here, or join me on Facebook and jump into the discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, I&#8217;m trying to think positively here.
