House Editorial In the Know | JEFFGENOTA sfH^^ When the Falcons' star quarterback Michael Vick pleaded guilty to the dog-fighting charges brought against him nearly two months ago, he basi- cally kissed his career goodbye. He can face up to six years in prison and fines of more than $300,000, not to mention possible dismissal from the Viciousness of the NFL. The media have massacred Vick's reputation as an athlete. Dog-fighting might be one of the lesser atrocities athletes engage in, but for some reason Looking Vick's face has incessantly appeared on our televisions, and he his name has constantly appeared in hard-hearted headlines since his cruel behav- Vick investigation iors were first discovered. Athletes who make mistakes are probably just as persecuted as any public figure. But should they even be in the same ballpark with other (please don't hurt us football fans) more important public figures? Who knows what other athletes do behind closed doors. There have further been fairly recent cases of athletes' affairs, drug abuse and a slew of other scandals, but none of which have been scrutinized nearly as much as the case of Michael Vick.

We're not trying to justify Vick's extremely inhumane actions, but we force us to pull our gaze think the attention the media has given him is unwarranted. There are so many potentially news-breaking stories that never get a chance to make the away from the Middle East headlines, yet it seems that every news outlet has covered Vick's case one way or another.

Chapel Hill, N.C— Madison went to Chapel Hill Saturday with a new offense and high aspirations. The Tar Heels shook those aspirations in the first quarter as the Dukes went down 21-0. Carolina wasted no lime getting on the score- board. Jason Pritchard s 44-yard kickoff put the Tar Heels at their 27-yard line, but it took them only three plays to score a touchdown. Redshirt freshman tailback Johnny White rushed for eight yards on Carolina's first two plays. On the third, redshirt freshman quarterback T.J. Yates made his first touchdown pass for 65 yards to junior wide receiver Brooks Foster. Madison was without sophomore cornerbacks Scotty McGee and junior Evan McCollough Saturday, who both started all 12 games for Madison in 2006. Sophomore Jamarls Sanders and junior Darrieus Ramsey played in their plies. "One had surgery [McGee] and one was being disciplined [McCollough]; I don't like to make excuses, those other two kids need to play better," coach Mickey Matthews said. "When you think about it from James Madison's [defensive] per- spective, [allowing] 320 yards of offense, prob- ably half of it was on three plays.
