Well, it certainly didn't seem to be, "I'm gonna do whatever it takes to make sure no more kids get sodomized."
Alright maybe in that context. I don't defend someone like Michael Vick, because he hasn't exactly redeemed his actions with his character.

And I agree with you that there's no excuse for his actions, I'm simply explaining why some of us will still remember him in a positive light.
