VICK'S FIANCEE RALLYING SUPPORT

The site, which will probably experience a hamster-related emergency once many of you rush there to see it, is titled isupport7.com.

The site declares as to Vick, “He is not the animal hating monster that the media tried to portray him as throughout his trial and harsh imprisonment. This site was created in his honor as a tribute to Micheal [sic] Vick the man, the son, the brother, the father, the over-achiever, the philanthropist, and the American.”

Um, no one ever said that Vick hates animals. All anyone ever observed is the truth -- that he pits certain types of animals against each other in a fight to the death, and that (as he has admitted) he participates in the killing of animals deemed not worthy to possibly die while fighting other animals.

Hell, he might love animals, but he nevertheless tolerates and participates in the act of mutilating and killing them.

But we shouldn’t be surprised by the spin. Because as our own Taco Bill has discovered via his mastery of the Internet, the isupport7.com domain is registered to Kijafa Frink.

And Kijafa Frink (presumably no relation to this guy) is Mike Vick’s fiancée and the mother of his two children.

Look, she’s got every right to try to help out her future meal ticket man. But the site makes no mention of the fact that it was created by someone so close to Vick.

Hell, it might as well have been created by Vick himself.

Vick and those who would directly benefit from his return to the NFL can try all they want to rally support for him. But doing it without disclosing the close connection to Vick seems a bit dishonest.

And honesty from Vick and those close to him is critical at this time. As we pointed out in a recent column, one of the key questions for Roger Goodell is whether Vick can be trusted.

In our view, the only way to trust him would be to strap him to a polygraph. And if Goodell would need to use a lie-detector test to develop sufficient confidence that Vick will do nothing to discredit the shield if reinstated, then Goodell shouldn’t trust him and shouldn’t reinstate him.
