Don't Say. Do.
I thought Michael Vick's apology speech was going just fine. Then he brought up Jesus.
Not that I've got anything against the Christian Savior. But c'mon. If you're a celeb caught in a shameful situation, claiming a religious conversion has become almost as cliche as going into rehab.
Vick may be sincere, but when he brought it up it sounded like something you might say if you want people to think you sound sincere.
I wanted to scream at the TV--"No Mike, No! Don't play the Jesus card...!!
On the other hand, when I listened back to the quote on CNN, I realized Vick said this-- "through this situation I found Jesus and asked him for forgiveness and turned my life over to God. And I think that's the right thing to do as of right now."
Two sentences, no hype or big pronouncements and he never mentions it again. Maybe, just maybe Vick really means it. We'll see...

I had images of Paris Hilton when I saw this.
I'd have felt he was more sincere had he left religion out of this. Seems whenever someone invokes religion these days, it just means they are looking for sympathy.
It's a cheap way to apologise. "The Devil made me do it" would have been a more effective excuse.
If you take on religion, then wait till you have something good to show.
you don't really think he found jesus do you?????? pleeeeeeeese, lol. if michael vick hadn't gotten busted he would still be fighting dogs derek and you know it!!!!! c'mon now

Pleeze! I'm still amazed at the "animal rights hoopla" around this situation with Michael Vick. What about HUMANS being killed everywhere. I wish there was a HUMAN RIGHTS lobby much like the ANIMAL RIGHTS lobby. Maybe then we'd have more MURDERERS behind bars.
