Vick Issues Apology After Guilty Plea

"First I want to apologize for all the things that I've done and that I have allowed to happen," the star quarterback said at a news conference following his appearance in U.S. District Court to formally enter the plea.

Can, should we believe Vick now?
He was sorry after he flipped off the home fans after a football game.
He was sorry when he was accused of having weed at the airport.
He promised the commish that he had nothing to do with dog fighting.

Also, this story makes me wonder.
We always are told how poverty, having no money, is related to crime.
Well, doesn't it seem that there are a LOT of people in pro sports right now that have millions of dollars, yet still act like morons and make bad choice after bad choice?
I believe the environment you grow up in shapes who you are. Money might be related, but obviously hand-out, or big contracts don't automatically teach you proper behavior.

He's right, Game. That was me.

But YOU are absolutely right about the causes of bad behavior. Jerks will be jerks and wealth doesn't affect that, it only enhances or enables it.
