Cautionary Tale #3,436,548


What an ignominious end to the phenomenon that was Michael Vick. Despite a career that always seemed more about the promise of something special than anything else, it's disappointing to see what is essentially his prime end this way. Of course, Vick deserves everything he's got coming, but it's just frustrating to watch someone throw it all away like that.

When all is said and done, this could rank up there with Mike Tyson as the biggest fall from grace of an athlete. On a slightly more positive note, I bet Vick just saved the careers of countless other troglodytes who've been (and would obviously be crazy to still be) involved with dog-fighting. I hope he gets himself right. Man, this seems like just yesterday...
