I recently stumbled upon this article, posted on ESPN.com. The man being interviewed, Tucker Carlson, had some interesting comments regarding Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, whose dogfighting has been well documented. Here is the Article with a link.

Fox analyst Tucker Carlson says Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick "should have been executed" for his role in a dogfighting ring.
Carlson was guest hosting for Sean Hannity's show Tuesday night on Fox News Channel when he made the remarks. He led a panel discussion about President Barack Obama commending the owner of the Eagles for giving Vick a second chance after his release from prison.
Vick served 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring.
Carlson says, "Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did [it] in a heartless and cruel way."
Carlson added, "I think personally he should have been executed for that."
Carlson, a conservative commentator, is angry that Obama told Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie he believes people who have paid for their crimes should have the opportunity to contribute to society again.
WOW, this dude really doesn't have a grip on reality. Yeah, people like OJ can murder someone and get away with it and live a completely normal life, but Vick should be executed for dogfighting. This man really must not have thought before saying this. Your right, Carlson, every person whose made a mistake and been to jail deserves to just rot away working a minimum wage job for the rest of thier life. What is Vick suppose to do? Waste his pro-bowl starting and potential MVP talent and go find work in Newport Virginia because of his mistakes? No, he should be sentenced to death, right Carlson. This guy is a joke. I think all the Vick haters are complete jokes also. This stuff goes on all the time and people are thrown in jail for similiar crimes as Vick. These people receive little or no attention in the media, serve thier time, and then are free to go try and make something of themselves. Also I think its important to look at fellow NFL player Donte Stallworth. Stallworth was drunk and smoking marijuana while driving a car, and killed a man. A human being that is, not a dog. He revieved a mere 1 month sentnece in which he only served about 20 days. Hmm... who is the real criminal here, Someone who buys a nice property for his close inner circle and those who live there do bad things (Even though Vick more than likely knew about the dogfighting and probably did partake in it at times) or somone who gets drunk and high and gets behind the wheel and kills another civilian. Vick did 23 months in a federal prison, so in my eyes he paid his debts to all these animal rights clowns who try and make an uproar about things such as Obama flicking a bug off his sleeve during a state of the union address. These people really need to get a life and stop being jealous of the success Vick is having, and they should embrace Vick's story of redemption.
