Take Vick away from the football field, and what do you have- nothing!
That echoes to what the late-Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis did to members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox. We all know that Shoeless Joe Jackson were among the players banned for life.

Even though a court of law acquitted them, Landis put the hammer down. And the men became nothing. Even Shoeless Joe ran a bar. The man could play, and he should be in the hall of fame, too.

Yes, he should have been more aware, if he claimed he didn't know what was happening, of what was happening. Oh well.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
