Vick has a harmless hobby, he isn't stockpiling guns or something, whats the problem? Everyone has a weakness collecting something or the other - mine, for example, is Japanese pens with their calligraphic nibs. Do I use them - yes. Do I use them to their potential - no. I am sure its the same with Vick or anyone else.
