First, if you buy that Pac Man wasn't involved in the shooting (which is ... dubious), then nothing that Pac Man has been actually charged with or convicted of is nearly as bad as what Vick plead to. Even if taken cumulatively (if that's even possible).

Second, I think this very distinction is important - Pac Man doesn't need to be marketable, just good enough to win. Quarterbacks and other star skill-position players often do have that burden or need.
