"I've overcome a lot, more than probably one single individual can handle or bear," Vick said. "You ask certain people to walk through my shoes, they probably couldn't do. Probably 95 percent of the people in this world because nobody had to endure what I've been through, situations I've been put in, situations I put myself in and decisions I have made, whether they have been good or bad.

I know that if I were asked to walk through Michael Vick's shoes, I probably couldn't do. And most likely, that is because I am probably not in the top 5% of courageous heroes. |
Yeah, that shit's ridiculous. He's getting an award because he's now doing what he's expected to do? I mean, seriously? He's literally getting an award for not maliciously abusing and destroying animals anymore.
Hell, give me that award, I don't maliciously abuse and destroy animals either. The fact that I never did that in the first place really shouldn't matter should it?
Errr, wait, hang on, doesn't that make me a better candidate? Especially since I'm getting by on a fucking FRACTION of the money he has and still not doing anything like that even though I'd probably make some cash doing it.
Same with all of you guys. We should all get an award!
