I totally agree.

I agree too. If you really want to make the Vick comparison, though, I seem to remember that he was blasted all over the place from the moment the story broke. Now, obviously the facts of that case did not turn out well for him, but he was getting crucified before all the facts came out. Roethlisberger is certainly getting better treatment than that, and rightfully so, but I think you can still see a difference. I suspect it is mostly due to the public persona of the two men rather than the human versus animal victims.
