I will admit that I don't get into any sports, so I don't understand the idolizing of players to begin with. But there are many Steelers who have done some horrible things and have not been "punished" by the fans. They tolerate a lot of bad behavior.

Then again, I think that most of the people who are opposed to Vick are not really fans, just like me. And if Vick does a great job with Pittsburgh, all will be forgotten. But not by me. The level of violence that Vick toward the dogs is creepy. Just for the record, I am disgusted by Big Ben too.
