ESPN's picture says a thousand words. Playing him up as the determined antihero, wronged by society, out to prove he's not the bad guy. It like they took his quote from the story (below), said, "You know what, he's right. He's not a bad guy. Now lets convince America by taking this dramatic picture of him and stuffing it in the face of anyone who comes to ESPN.com."

"I'm trying to show the kind of person I am, you know, show the world that I'm not the person some people make me out to be," Vick said in his defense at the scouting combine in February. "[It's like I'm] some kind of bad guy, like the villain."
Not the person "some people" make him out to be!? Holy effen crap! I know athletes are protected, spoiled, insulated, and undereducated, but if this idiot doesn't get that he dug his own grave by now, he'll NEVER get it. Not the kind of fella you want running your team. Of course ESPN will make another dramatic misunderstood athlete as the victim story out of it to play up on draft day.
