This is a blog post I read that really hit me how right on it is...Interesting Comparison between Vick and Pete Rose..

"Pete Rose bet on the sport. To the best of my knowledge, he did not OWN THE BETTING VENUE. He was a better. Not a booky and promoter. Just a guy addicted to gambling.
Now this loser SOB vic, let's compare them shall we. Vic OWNED the kennel where the dogs were trained. He went and found dogs to fight, brought them back and tortured them and starved them until they would rip anything to shreds. Fed them gunpowder and beat them regularly. Kidnapped and or otherwise aquired "practice dogs" for the vicious fighting dogs to rip apart. Think BENJI here folks, think taco bell dog, think TOTO from the wizard of oz. Think of all the blood washed down this demons drains?????????? And this he PAID 100's of THOUSANDS of dollars to CREATE, and PROMOTE, and NURTURE this EVIL. He did not stumble and trip and land in a dog fighting arena. He bought the land, built the arena, invited the guests, trained and provided the "entertainment", and made money off this perversion of power. SO THIS GUY IS BEYOND GUILTY.
Pete Rose was and IS a real nice guy compared to this PIG. It is a major insult to Pete to compare him to this type of hell promoter. I never heard of Pete drawing blood or torturing living creatures. Rose was a gambler, vic is a DEMON
AND - Rose was WHITE and BANNED FOR LIFE - so this is not a "cuz he's black issue"
His spirit is DARK, has nothing at all to do with his skin color."

I hope some justice is served on December 10th 2007! I will check in then.
