1. Now he can run for VP along with Bill Frist
A wet dream come true for backwoods redneck Repubes--a Cat Killer and a Dog Killer on the same ticket!

2. In 2 years he'll be playing with the Toronto Argonauts
I swear the Argonauts will take problem players that even the Dallas Cowboys won't touch. Both Jeff George and Ricky Williams play for the Argonauts

3. He found Jesus
That's nice. And quick. Sounds to me like he wants to get through the forgiveness and move straight towards redemption. Before he even sets a foot in the big house.

Mike VickSpeaking in a quiet, contrite voice, former NFL stud Michael Vick faced the media outside of a hotel in Richmond, VA -- and accepted responsibility for his role in a dogfighting ring.

"I will redeem myself" said Vick, "I have to."

Vick wasn't specific about the acts he was sorry for, but declared, "Dogfighting is a terrible thing. I reject it."

Between apologies to everyone from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank -- to all the kids who used to look up to him, Vick declared that he's found Jesus and has turned his life over to God.

"I was ashamed and totally disappointed in myself, to say the least. I want to apologize to all the young kids out there for my immature acts. What I did was very immature, so that means I need to grow up."

Vick also dropped part of his apology in the third person saying, "I totally ask for forgiveness and understanding as I move forward to be a better Michael Vick the person, not the football player."

5. then he can admit to lying about the gambling aspect of the dog-fighting
declare the tens, if not hundreds, of thousands he won from dog-fights as income with the IRS, and resign from the NFL because gambling violates his contract. That's if he really wants to 'do the right thing'.
