Dog Lovers vs. Michael Vick

Dear NFL Players:

I very much enjoyed the preseason Chiefs v. Eagles game at Arrowhead Stadium last night. Fun place, nice crowd. The only really jarring moment was when the announcer reminded me that Michael Vick, Mister "I'll strangle a dog for a buck--or just for the heck of it," was on the field.

If some of the players and fans have forgotten (oh, how fast Americans forget things they don't like to face), you can review the aftermath of his participation in one of the bloodiest, most abusive pastimes in the world:
"Dogtown: Saving the Michal Vick Dogs" (National Geographic Channel, avail. on Hulu)

Now, I would never ever condone random violence against any of the universe's creatures.

But if one (or more) of you NFL players who are also true animal lovers were to accidentally do on the field to Vick what he did to some of those poor dogs, well . . .

I'd probably let my dog send you a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers.

That's all! Have a good season (all of you except the nasty animal abusers -- you know who you are).
