My thanks to the four people who visited yesterday's blog.......and the 4,000 of you who will hopefully log on today.
I was not able to write any entries about Michael Vick during the week that the news broke about his dog-fighting enterprise, back in July because I was vacationing in New England.
I saw Vick play at the 2001 Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., when he was a Virginia Tech Hokie. His actions are indeed shocking, and they were even more disturbing for those of us who once rooted for him.
Nevertheless, his activities are also a great outlet for late-night talk show hosts.
Conan O'Brien said the following about Vick during a recent monologue:
"Earlier today, NFL star Michael Vick plead guilty to dog-fighting charges and apologized for his actions. Vick's exact quote was: 'I'm a cat person.' "
Tonight, O'Brien has Mary Kaye Olson and singer Lyle Lovett as his guests. Thursday's show features Sen. Chris Dodd (D) and country singer Kenny Chesney. While Friday, O'Brien talks with former New York Giants star Tiki Barber, who is from my hometown of Roanoke, Va. One has to wonder if O'Brien will ask Barber about Vick. Barber is an alumnus of UVA, which is Va. Tech's arch rival.
