What trials and tribulations did Michael Vick overcome? He went to jail for something he should have went to jail for. Most normal people when they got out wouldn't have been given a free pass back to their job. Don't spoon feed me that trial and tribulations bullshit because he hasn't gone through shit! You want to root for someone going through real trials and tribulations why don't you look at the people who bust their asses each and every day just to provide enough to keep a roof over their families heads and food on the table!? Those are real trials and tribulations bud! Not some guy completely disrespecting the game, the NFL, the Atlanta Falcons organization, his teammates, fans, and anyone else whoever rooted for the guy, only to go to jail and when he got out was given the game back to him on a silver platter. Trials and tribulations? I hope you go through some real shit one day so you actually know what trials and tribulations are.

Real shit? lol you don't know me. That's comedy. I've spent almost 2 years of my life locked up, and much longer than that in and out of the legal system. but I turned my life around and now own my own home, held down a good job for 12 years, take care of my wife and 3 kids, my sisters 3 orphaned kids and my sons half brother all of which have no father without me. I grew up on government cheese and powdered milk, had to stab one of my numerous stepfathers to keep him from beating my mother, went to around 30 schools in my life due to a drug addicted, insane mother who did things such as accusing me, at 6 years old, of stealing 20 dollars out of her purse while im sitting in front of the stove trying to stay warm because she snorted the heat bill. You need me to go on about real shit? I have stories for days about real shit my friend but thats not the point. A lot of people go through trials and tribulations and some are even brought on by themselves alot of mine included. I take full responsibility for all my actions and faults and work everyday to make amends for those. Some people will never forgive me for some of the things ive done and rightfully so. Excuse me for finding the good at the end of the story instead of continuing to dwell on the negative that is far in the past. Maybe it's you who needs to go through real trials and tribulations.
