Words vs actions.
Words without the actions to back them up are meaningless. Was his apology sincere, or was he speaking in the tongue of a good PR person ?? Only time will tell. People seem to be putting stock in the fact that he didn't merely read from a prepared statement, that he spoke off the cuff. Might I remind you all that this is a very good football player, one who is capable of memorizing a large and complex NFL team playbook.
Many people have used many words to describe the horrors of what he did. I agree with them. I am a dog owner and dog lover, and have been my entire life. I think that what Vick did was, in a word, disgusting.
The old saying goes, if you wanna dance, ya gotta pay the band. Well, now he has to pay the band. We can only hope that during his time in prison, he looks long and hard at the person he's become, and realizes that he doesn't like that person. Only then will any change be sincere.
