Just read the title. It kind of explains it for itself. I guess Michael Vick was close to shooting a commercial for PETA, one that says dog fighting is a no-no, but PETA — SURPRISINGLY — has resisted the temptation to air a man that’s killed hundreds of dogs with his bare hands, sledge hammer, or any open and live electric wire near by.

The organization said Wednesday that an agreement was reached with Vick’s representatives to shoot the spot, but that Vick’s attorneys sought assurance from PETA the group would support Vick’s return to the NFL. The Falcons’ former starting quarterback could obtain an early release by summer.

“Saying sorry and getting his ball back after being caught enjoying killing dogs in hideously cruel ways for many years doesn’t cut it,” said PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. “Commissioner Goodell knows that he has an obligation to the league and to millions of fans, including children who look up to ballplayers as idols, to make sure that Michael Vick is mentally capable of remorse before he can touch, let alone wear, an NFL uniform again.”

PETA is urging that Vick undergo a brain scan and a full psychiatric evaluation.

Just to rehash some of Vick’s past, without getting too redundant: The guy flipped off the hometown fans, tried to sneak weed through airport security in a water bottle, ran a backyard dog fighting operation in a house that was in his name, and goes by the alias “Ookie.”

Call it a hunch, but I don’t see that brain scan going over too well.
