If I was going to give someone a lump of coal, it would have to be Michael Vick because of his cruelty to animals. Thank you.

& Green Phone:

Green Phone tried to deliver the coal to Vick but couldn't get past security at the prison he is currently being held - something about it being contraband.

There is a great quote Shaquille O'Neal once said about his feud with Kobe Bryant while with the Los Angeles Lakers. On why the two didn't get along, O'Neal said, "If you don't like me, there must be something wrong with you."

The opposite is true in this case. If you still like Vick, and you aren't related to him or know him personally, there is something wrong with you.

Five Atlanta Falcons players were fined this week for breaking NFL "uniform regulations" with tributes to Vick. After scoring a touchdown in a Dec. 10 game, Falcons receiver Roddy White had the audacity to show off a T-shirt under his jersey that said, "Free Mike Vick." Vick isn't Tibet, Nelson Mandela or any other kind of political prisoner. He is a spoiled athlete that threw away his life by torturing animals for pleasure.

While GP couldn't deliver the coal, will 23 months in prison suffice?
