I live in the big "D" and I can tell you the people here love Vick. Those that don't are a rare exception.
That tells me all I need to know about the folks that live in Dallas.
Jack The Ripper given key to city of London. Nice.
Our society is f-ed to hell. All this rothlisberger, vick redemption BS is absurd.
Not everyone is on board, thank God, but I have heard too many people say about Ben Rothlisberger and Vick: "He is doing it the right way on and off the field now. What a great story!"
I just heard Goodell say it earlier today about Big Ben.
Let me get this straight. Likely raping 2 women or at a minimum acting extremely sketchy/ Viciously destroying dozens of dogs and then not doing it anymore is a "good story?" Oh and Vick is REQUIRED TO do all of those talks with youth about Dogfighting. It is not out of the goodness of his heart.
I'd rather root for any joe scmoe QB (Rodgers, Kevin Kobb, Byron Leftwich) than these stories of "redemption".
Write to the major here's a link

I am disgusted by this citys attitude, I wont be visiting again anytime soon.
Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert distanced himself from the action later Monday.
"The action taken was not sanctioned by my office and was not an official ceremonial honor on behalf of the City of Dallas," he said in a statement. "Official Keys to the City are presented by the Mayor, or an elected official designated by the Mayor, and reserved, on a limited basis, for an elected official of international status. Clearly, this was not the case in this situation and done without my knowledge or approval."
And to the person above, If you can't spell a person's name right, don't argue about them. Or at the very least, read enough information to make a respectable comment.
Predictive text was why I wrote major instead of mayor. Maybe you should be more offended by what was done in the name of dallas rather than a minor spelling error which if you had half a brain would be quite obvious especially considering the fact we are talking about a mayor rather than an army officer.
My understanding was this was done by the pro tem mayor, the vice mayor. Either way it was done in the name of the city by an officer of the city.
You don't wake up one morning and decide to give someone the keys to the city, this no doubt took an element of planning, maybe a comity voted but I doubt it was the work of one man. Those people endorsed this. They should be ashamed as should all Americans.
If the pro tem mayor did do it on his own he should go but I'm sure others were party to this and the fact that he was the pro tem mayor gives a significant legitimacy to this whether you like it or not.
Of all the things in the world to get upset about, you guys choose this? Nice.
PS it's Kolb, not Kobb.

Say what you may, but it's long been considered a neutral city in US politics.
Ken Burns. You are a moron. I was refering to the comment above yours. And the worst part is I can't even ask you how to spell Ben's last name because you'll google it before finishing this post.
Did your comment not say to the person above? Maybe refer to the posters name in the future.
I guess you're from Texas ? I thought everything there is supposed to be bigger? Sadly not your brain!

I support Ben.
I myself have been accused of sexual assault and molestation several times. I have been found guilty EVERY TIME. But you know what? I didn't do any of it, heck I wasn't even in the same room or building as those girls in some of those situations. I've been beaten up, arrested, kicked out of school over false charges like that. Females have WAY too much power.
hahaha, so much hate, no i'm not from Texas. I do however have a giant.................

Oh boy, the economy may crumble........but at least they know how to spell.
You guys care about stupid stuff.
Well said.
The big deal here is they gave the key to the city to a Philadelphia Eagles quarterback.
That's like signing Terrell Owens after he defamed the star at the 50 yard line in a TD celebration.
I hope that key doesn't open up any dog kennels. Vick should be shot.
