Our old friend Richard Siegelman, a longtime elementary school teacher in Oyster Bay-East Norwich, saw our note this morning in Newsday about Isaac Bruce aiming to be NFL MVP this year, as well as Bruce's contention that Michael Vick deserves another chance in the wake of his guilty plea on dogfighting charges.
Says Teacher Man:
"I share Isaac Bruce's beliefs that he COULD possibly turn out to be All-Pro, and MVP this year ... but not his belief that "EVERYONE deserves 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th chances" - certainly not murderers, molesters, maimers, rapists, etc. I wonder if Bruce is in favor of letting everyone out of our prisons for their 2nd---5th chances?"
Teacher Man also chimes in on our item about Michael Strahan, in which we mention the fact Strahan's next sack will set the Giants' all-time record:
"That's only if we count his 'phantom' sack of friend Brett Favre that helped him set league single-season record."
Ouch.
