But that's the thing. I don't see anybody painting Vick as a hero. He's playing spectacular football and could lead his team to the Super Bowl. Are people supposed to lie & say that he sucks and that's not the case because of his past? That's just ridiculous & completely unrealistic. He's getting praise because he's doing a great job on the football field. And he for sure isn't asking for anyone's praise or attention. He's just playing.

He also seems to have turned his life around. Usually people do get credit for that. Celebrity, athlete, or a normal person.
