It was always good to me when I played dice (just for fun). I got married on 7/7/07 at 7pm. I chose Seven because it seemed to be the most logical number for luck. You figure if God made earth in Seven days, there has to be something signifigant to it. Then you have the seven wonders of the world. And my favorite child hood store was the infamous 7/11.
Was it a doubt that when Michael Vick showed up playing for the Atlanta Falcons that he would gain my undivided support? I wear my #7 jersey proudly around Atlanta proclaiming to be on Team Vick. And it breaks my heart whenever he gets bad publicity, and now I'm seeing that whereas Seven has been lucky for me, the same can't always be said for Mike Vick.
It seems Lucky 7 wasn't so lucky in 2005 when a Georgia woman accused him of giving her herpes.
The 17 page complaint was filed in Gwinnett County on March 14, 2005 and was the topic of major media bashing. It put a scare in our hearts, and especially for single women who thought hanging out with athletes and having sex with them was a "free ride". Wow...it made people think! Elliott (the woman from Georgia) supposedly settled for an undisclosed amount.
Now in 2007, new allegations of dog fighting has warranted an indictment on a federal conspiracy charge, and other charges may follow.
The fans this time around seem to be keeping an open mind, but the rest of the world is singing a different tune. "I don't think anybody on this team right now is hoping that Mike comes back," Dunn said. "If he comes back, that's great, but I just think right now we're at a point where the guys that are here are trying to get better and move on down the road. Mike is going to be missed and has been missed, but at the same time you have to go on." I guess one person can't stop the show. And let's not forget that the retail circuit had already deemed him guilt, pulling away his endorcements as well as his Number 7 items.
On both notes, I don't agree with promiscuous sex nor do I believe in dog fighting. Both show a lack of self control, respect, and maturity. The saddest part is that no matter how many victories Michael Vick has contributed to, the bad overshawdows the good at moments like these. He must feel really low and lonely right now, and my heart goes out to him. He's only 27, and this could possibly ruin his career. I hope he's invested wisely.
Word is he has until Friday to cop a plea if he wants to, and this could possibly be his best bet. Seems the other's that were indicted with him have all tucked tail and copped pleas-so they may just turn on him. I'm sure Lil'Kim is real pissed off right about now-you know she feels about snitches!
I'm wondering, though, what is your take on this. Here's the questions:
1- Do you think Vick is guilty of dog fighting and/or funding dog fights?
2- How do you feel about Mike Vick apparel being snatched off the shelves?
3- What do you think the outcome will be for Vick?
There’s the Q, now give me the A! What are your answers?
