I thought he spoke very well on several matters in that video. And for the record it was Jamie Dukes that brought up Vick (twice)

Dukes is a clown, to be sure. But when Deion started with this whole "we marched on the Jena 6, are we gonna march on THIS?" tone, I'm sorry, but that's just grandstanding and doesn't solve anything.

Further, I think he really shot himself in the foot by even dignifying Dukes' mention of Vick -- he should have just categorically stated that the Mike Vick has no relevance to Sean's or Darrent Williams' murder. Instead he goes on this looney-eyed rant about being a dog owner himself and not valuing the life of a dog more than that of a human being.

Regardless of whether I agree with that sentiment (I do), or whether the sentiment is actually correct, it was wholly irrelevant to the discussion of Sean Taylor and the time he spent blathering about that could have been better used discussing so many other lines of conversation. But, as usual, Deion was more interested in being flashy than in being substantive.
