No Cheese on my Sausage McMuffin, Mr. Vick

In response to being permanently kicked off the Virginia Tech football team, Vick said, "It's not a big deal. I'll just move on to the next level, baby." No apologies, no regrets, no accountability. While I hope the next level is my local McDonalds, the Golden Arches don't have pictures on their cash register buttons and that could be a huge challenge for Eddie El Salvador.


The obvious thing to do in this situation is lament the bonehead GM that will inevitably draft Vick, holding the belief that with some tough love, Vick will realize his potential, not only as a football player but as a man of character, as well. But I would like to know what Michael Vick is going to do about this. It was his success that most heavily contributed to El Salvador's warped sense of entitlement and as the big brother, as the most influential person in this kid's life, where has the guidance been and where is it now? When little brother does wrong, you teach him to have good habits because those habits become your character and that character becomes your destiny. You don't provide him with more money, Escalades, and boxes of Valtrex but sadly, I think that is exactly what Michael Vick will do.
