I wonder if these shoes will be appropriately named "Dog Kickers" from the Michael Vick conviction...er, I mean collection? Also featured will be MV's signature line of clothing featuring the orange jumpsuit (prison-wear).

That's funny. He isn't convicted and they have already poured all this money into it so they probably will at least try to get some back.

Nike WILL change their minds on this. The public backlash on Vick is huge.

I love saying "I told you so." Seriously, I don't see where Nike had a choice in this matter. Wait for the backlash that comes when the Falcons open camp.

I work for Nike and there was NEVER any discussion other than to pull the plug once he was indicted. And even this has huge, detailed legal complexities involved; its not just as easy as saying no go.
