    November 30: Michael Vick

    Michael says he has paid the price for his crime by going to Hell and back. Should he be placed back on the pedestal of being a role model?

    "In My Opinion" - Role Model - No....... He is somewhat in the same boat as Pete Rose, Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, Tiger Woods and the list could go on and on.... He did something that most consider "morally wrong" and his athletic career has been "tarnished". Will he go on to be successful? Most Likely.... But then again Martha Stewart didn't sit around in prison crying in pity. Look at her now, making $$$ on her new line. It is the American Way... Forgive and Forget. Sad but true, our kids are being persuaded by society in sometimes the most negative of ways.

    Vick has great athletic ability, but made a really bad decision.

    Dale Murphy
    2-time MVP
    398 Home runs

    I realize that he's been on the ballot 12 years, and hasn't captured near enough votes yet, but he's a Hall Of Famer to me. Hope he makes it.

    BEST SPORTS CITY...........

    Stretchy, I go with Seattle......Mariners, Supersonics, and their NFL team (can't think of their name at the moment). I say this because of the fans, the city support, and the moral quality of their players. There is always a "fever" (excitement) around town and what the teams have done FOR THE CITY AND THE YOUTH.
    If I went with the best teams I would agree with Stretchy but WINNING is not always what it is about.
    Just my opinion,

    That's cool to know. From someone that has never been to Seattle, it's nice to know how their fans are.
