Allen Iverson offered some words of advice to beleaguered Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who will be arraigned later this week on charges he sponsored a dogfighting operation in Virginia.Iverson, who has had to contend with his own legal issues in the past, said Saturday that Vick should "keep his head up," adding he's not surprised by the volume and intensity of the criticism toward Vick, a fellow Virginia native.

"It's always been like that from day one, since there was sports," the star Denver Nuggets guard told the Daily Press of Hampton Roads, Va. "There was always a bull's-eye on us. Everybody doesn't love athletes. Some people feel like we're spoiled. Some people feel that because we are rich, we think we are above the law; we're better than everybody else.Iverson gave an impromptu interview Saturday during a celebrity flag football game he hosted in Norfolk as part of his Allen Iverson Summer Classic Weekend.
