<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Stephon Marbury on Monday defended Michael Vick and said the Falcons quarterback, who the same day pleaded guilty to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge, "is a good human being." "We don't say anything about people shooting deers and shooting other animals, you know what I mean?" Marbury said in an interview that was aired by Capital 9 News in Albany. "From what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors and I think it's tough that we build Michael Vick up and then we break him down ... I think he fell into a bad situation." Marbury was in the Albany area to promote his Starbury brand of affordable sneakers and clothing, which earned him positive publicity when it was launched last summer. He worked out Tuesday at the MSG Training Center, but could not be reached for comment.</div> Source: Newsday
