You're having a great season, the AP, fans, and the commissioner are praising your "rehabilitation", mentioning you as a posterchild for second chances, and you're being touted as a possible MVP candidate and you bust out with "I want a dog."

How stupid can you be? Seriously...

So if the reporter asked him if he wants to get a dog in the future, and he wants to get one for his children, how would you answer it??

ytownfootball;604440 wrote:Hire a damn PR guy then. It's really that simple. Whether he's backed into a corner because of his ignorance or not, he's still allowing it by not being prepared. He has the means, he can be coached, it's not something he needs to have done to him. I agree about it being a despicable practice but it can be averted imo.

Vick has pretty much been a a model citizen since he came back into the spotlight and honestly I don't even think he said anything wrong. If he dodges the question the media will still try and spin it, so why not be honest about it?
