T.O. has compassion for Vick
T.O.'s has a Bad Boy image, but you've never read a story about him getting into trouble with the law. He has a clean record, so I was curious about his thoughts on Michael Vick's legal troubles.
"I think, number one, it's very, very unfortunate. Number two, we all make mistakes," T.O. said. "If you’re a human being and you have compassion, you have to understand that nobody's perfect. I guarantee you that Michael Vick understands that now. He will learn from this situation, and he will move on from it.
"It is sad to see the amount of media attention that he's gotten, and I feel like it's dehumanized him a little bit. In a sense, I'm pretty sure that it has humbled him a whole lot as well.
"But, you know, Michael Vick is a great guy. Like a number of people that have said, there are a lot of other people that have done things not to that extreme that have gotten far less attention. Just the fact that he’s a superb athlete and he's a quarterback, things like that are going to take precedent over other matters. As I said earlier, that's unfortunate, but I feel strongly that he’ll rebound from this and move forward."
