PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles are more worried about Michael Vick's injured leg than another attack on his dogfighting past.

Fox analyst Tucker Carlson gave the harshest critique of Vick's past yet, saying the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback "should have been executed" for his gruesome dogfighting crimes.

Carlson was guest hosting for Sean Hannity's show on Fox News Channel on Tuesday night when he made the remarks. He led a panel discussion about President Barack Obama commending the owner of the Eagles for giving Vick a second chance after his release from prison. Vick served 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring.


Carlson said: "Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did (it) in a heartless and cruel way." He added, "I think personally he should have been executed for that."

I’m sure he’ll offer a similar opinion on Dr. Oz, no?

1. Tucker goes wherever the right wing winds blow...

It was fashionable at the time to hate Mike Vick. Was never a fan myself, Vick was part of the NFL over-hype spin machine.

2. He doesn't and never has given a damn about the dogs, but a chance to show his racism with a big

call for lynching him, of course, that's great with Tucker. I detested Vick then. I haven't forgiven him now. But prison was what he deserved, albeit I wasn't happy when the Eagles picked him up, but...

3. I wonder white he would say that

4. Of course he won't wish the same for Oz

So much of the vitriol against Vick was about race. Oz will not get the same treatment that Vick did.
