New York Jets backup quarterback Michael Vick is pretty accustom to muzzle’s and it sounds like he may need to use one next time he decides to speak.

Vick, who famously was sent to prison for a dog fighting ring and breaking gambling laws is back in the spotlight after recent comments regarding the Ray Rice incident.
Speaking to Newsday, Vick suggested you can’t compare what he did with the Rice situation.
“This one is tough,” Vick said Wednesday. “I think what I did doesn’t compare to what this case is and what came out of this. It’s just a situation where men have to understand that we’re men. Women are a lot smaller and not as physical as us. We just have to think before we react. It’s not man-on-man. It’s man-on-woman and that’s unfair.”
Vick went on to suggest that while he’s aware of what he did was ‘bad’, putting your hands on a woman in comparison to an animal is a ‘different realm’.
Whether or not one agrees with Michael Vick, you have to think the best course of action for the quarterback would have been to keep his mouth shut. He just opened another can on worms when he really didn’t need to, especially by making a comment that many will deem controversial.
It’s rather perplexing how many in the spotlight continue to make time for a response regarding a situation that doesn’t directly involve them, especially when the easy way out is simply suggesting you have no comment.
