Michael Vick -- total a-hole

I am puzzled that some fans and commentators are trying to turn Vick's troubles into a racial issue. :?

There have been several calls to the local D/FW sports talk station essentially saying that the public outrage is because Vick is African American, if he were white the backlash would be significantly less.

then good guy Emmitt Smith says

“Now, granted he might have been to a dogfight a time or two, maybe five times, maybe 20 times, may have bet some money, but he’s not the one you’re after. He’s not the one you’re after, he’s just the one whose going to take the fall — publicly.”

never mentioning the fact that Bad Newz Kennel is on property owned by Michael Vick :?

The Cowboys have been boyscouts for over ten years now. That was in the 90s...so I would appreciate it as a Cowboys fan since I can remember that you do not associate the current Cowboys roster with teams like the Bengals and such. I think that they have done alot ot correct and change things for the better.

Like picking up T.O.?

T.O. maybe a jerk and I don't like the fact that he is on the Cowboys but as an Eagles fan, which I take it that you hate the Cowboys, I don't want to assume that, however from my many TDY trips to Philly and saw the t-shirts being sold in downtown that said "Dallas sucks, T.O. swallows"....he isn't on my christmas card list however he hasn't done anything illegal or against the law.

...and he's miles and miles away from Atlanta.

Owner Blank looked like a zombie during the press conference today. His season hasn't even started and it's already over. And he knows Michael Vick won't ever play another down for the Falcons.

He's probably hoping for a conviction since it will free him of the huge salary owed to Mr. Vick.

The indictment is for a conspiracy. He's dead meat since owning the property on which the offense occurred constitutes a conspiracy I believe.

I just happened to turn on the tube yesterday and the channel was on three sports commentators discussing events in football.

Their idea was that Michael Vick is right now a PR nightmare BUT if just lays low for 3-4 months, everything will be alright with his career and people will forget about this little problem.

I hope that they are wrong...thugs are thugs...

In three to four months I would think he will still be in the middle of this. Even if his trail takes a while to get started no team will want to touch him because they will not know what is going to happen down the road. He is done as a Falcon and for the most part as a starting QB in the NFL. If convicted he will not play again period.

noted NFL pundit Peter King predicted on KTCK in Dallas this morning that he would eventually be released by the Falcons.

A very good article from Associated Press was in the Sunday Dallas Morning news detailing all of his missteps and how he he has been protected and the incidents glossed over and the victims bought off. His two primary associates are convicted felons.

I hate to say it because I dislike our inter-divisional foe but, this is the best thing that could have happened to the Falcons in regards to wins/loses!

Vick is the most over-rated QB in the league. He may sell a lot of sneakers to the inner-city kids but, when it comes to playing winning QB, a team can't win big when the QB thinks about running the ball himself first and passing or handing off to a RB second.

As a Saints and Colts fan, we are gonna miss Vick wearing that Dirty Bird uniform!

Hey, it is almost August! Anyone want to start an NFL thread? :twisted:

Vick will plea bargain to avoid a trial, get probation and a huge fine (including loss of his property), be suspended for the first eight games of the season by the NFL, and start for the Falcons for the last eight.

It's a good thing that RTF doesn't have a substance abuse/monitoring policy in place. :wink: :D

Expectations must be running high in the Crescent City, while listening to Brand X sports talk last night there were interveiwing some dude with a serious NO accent who said among other things that if Drew Brees stayed healthy the Saints would play in the NFC championship game and continued on to compare the Aints to the Colts :shock:

We may want to take this to the NFL thread but...........

Sean Payton spent the off-season beefing up an already beefy Offense. His philosphy being, if we can consistantly score over 42 points per game, I'll get a huge bonus! :wink: And, they did bring in some veteran D-men as well as draft picks. However, don't forget that in this years's NFL Draft, he selected a big, fast, rangy proven WR from Tennesee in the 1st round then went for the starting RB from Ohio State to complement Da Deuse and Reggie B.

The noose continues to tighten around Mr. Vick's neck. Yesterday one of the co-conspirators named in the indictment cut a deal with the Feds and will be singing to them on Monday morning. And you know this bird has the goods on Vick.
