What Michael Vick and his apologists, including Nike and Subway, don't get.
Putting on a nice sweater is not the same thing as being nice.
Being sorry that you were caught is not the same thing as being sorry.
"Letting down the fans" is not the problem.
"Letting myself down" is not the problem.
Fearing just punishment is not the same thing as knowing what you are doing is wrong.
Enduring punishment is not the same thing as redemption.

And you will never get it.
