VICK’S GOTTA BE HAPPY HE HAS ARTEST ON HIS SIDE

Artest Thinks Vick Will Emerge A Better Person; That’s Reassuring Coming From Artest
Ron Artest, the true warier, the sultan of slap (spousal abuse), a terrorizing force (to dogs) is fully behind Michael Vick. I feel better already about Vick’s chances for reform. “I want to call him and support him,” Artest said. “I think athletes just gotta be more aware. At times things happen so fast in your life, you just stay living that same lifestyle. You can’t do it no more. I just hope people can take the mistakes I made, mistakes other people are making and just learn from them.”
Learning from your mistakes. Kind of like when you get into a fight with fans in the stands, take a year off to think about your actions, get in trouble for abusing your dog the next year, then get in trouble for abusing your wife the year after that. He has never repeated the same mistake twice. He has learned what is wrong then tries to find out whether something else might also be wrong. And, with a record of loving dogs similar to Vicks’, there is no one better to speak for Vick.
The most honorable thing Vick has done, though, according to Artest, is lying.
“[He] lied and then came back and apologized to everybody, I felt that was classy.”
???
“I was touched that he took full responsibility. I felt that was a real man. I know for a fact he’ll come out a better person.”
Full responsibility? You just got done saying he lied? Apologizing for something you were forced to admit to in order to get a lesser sentence isn’t exactly taking responsibility.
