As a player, you’d laugh at your boss if you got fined for skipping a film session.
And as a fan, you’d revoke your season tickets. Vick’s name is tainted for a reason.
Not even the witty marketing team at Geico could spin this signing into a positive.
Vick’s crime was too raw and too public for the Joe Fan to embrace.
Even beyond the moral dilemma, the game has changed over the past few years. There is a less and less demand for running quarterbacks. The rapid evolution of two-back systems and West Coast-offense hybrids has marginalized the run-first quarterback. It’s why Vince Young was ousted by 36-year old Kerry Collins. It’s why the Minnesota Vikings are doing everything in their power - signing Sage Rosenfels, recruiting Brett Favre - to not start Tarvaris Jackson. And it’s why former-No. 1 pick Alex Smith is battling with...drum roll, please...Shaun Hill in San Francisco.
The demand for cerebral quarterbacks capable of dissecting a defense is higher than ever.
Vick failed to throw for 3,000 yards - hardly a milestone - in each of his six years with the Falcons. For all of his herculean arm strength, he has the accuracy of Shaq at the foul line. Every pass is a laser. No touch, no precision. Through his entire career, Vick never matured as a passer. Atlanta kept drafting receivers like Roddy White and Michael Jenkins, but Vick never figured it out. In one season, Matt Ryan did. Vick’s replacement threw for 3,440 yards and 16 touchdowns to key an improbable run to the playoffs last season.
Never been to the slammer myself, but something tells me one year in prison didn’t exactly do wonders for Vick’s passing ability.“The Longest Yard” was a movie, not real life. At best, Vick is a faster Kordell Stewart at this point.
And please, save the ‘slash’ plea. Everyone these days thinks freakish athletes will erupt into gimmicky ‘slash’ roles, where they can bob ‘n weave through defenses off pitches, hitches and other Ringling Brother quirks. Doodling Vick into X ‘n Os on paper sure can raise a coach’s adrenaline. But saying that Vick will electrify an offense in a ‘Wildcat’ type of offense is wishful thinking.

The number of people supporting Vick's return has increased. If 65% approve, let's take a look at the other 35%. Probably a good 75% of those 35% folks have never even been to a football game; they don't buy sponsored products; or don't buy enough to impact the Sponsors, so there is a very small majority who will ever have an impact on the NFL or its sponsors.
What you read here is the greatest extent of their effort - that is, to be keyboard commandos who sit day after day spewing hatred and insults at people with differing opinions.
What is worse is probably 90% of that 35% don't even bother to financially support animal shelters, or animal rights causes and they do NOTHING at all for these animals in person. They ALL TALK AND NO ACTION. They don't even matter.
Haters - when is the last time you even donated a dime to an animal rights agency?
Z E R O! Yeah, that's what I thought..........

Like Pound said, Pete Rose is a different case because he was banned from baseball for betting on teams while managing the Reds. He was "permanently ineligible" because he broke baseball's rules, not because what he did was particularly heinous.

Donte Stallworth can drive drunk, kill a man, and only serve 1 month. Why aren't you crying about him?

Montag wrote:

It's not the NFL's duty to punish its players for crimes unrelated to football. That duty belongs to our justice system.

Montag wrote:

Vick has fallen so low from where he was before. He's learned his lesson; he won't be doing anything like this again, so why not let him play? Give him a second chance.

And the dog killer "broke the rules" also genius. Do yourself a favor and look up the NFL player's personal conduct policy. His crimes violated this policy in several ways. If Goodell wants to ban this felon, he is completely justified. It will all boil down to what type of example he wants to set and what he thinks the public's response will be to whatever decision he makes.
<quoted text>
Well, this is just a guess but it's probably because this is the mv forum. Not only that but Stallworth didn't intentionally and purposesfully set out to harm or kill anyone or anything. Can you say that about the maggot vick? No, I didn't think so.
<quoted text>
No, but it is the NFL's duty to enforce that pesky player's personal conduct policy. Again, educate yourself and read up on it.

Re: the fallen part, all I can say is SWEET. No one deserves to have lost what the dog killer did more than him. His perversions were sadistic, inhumane, and repugnant. He deserved every bit of punishment he received and more.
Re: the "learned his lesson" part, dude, are you the great Karnack or an omniscient seer who knows all? The things the dog killer has gone through since his sadistic little hobby was uncovered weren't mean to rehabilitate his degeneracy, they were intended to punish him.
The only lesson the dog killer has learned is that it is a biotch to let the world know just how sick and twisted his little entertainment was. He's learned that he should have taken more effort to hide his perverted little dog fighting operation from hell. He's learned that the majority of the public thinks he is a POS for gruesomely killing and torturing innocent animals.
As for morals, character, and integrity........he can't even spell those much less know what they mean.

Hmmmmm, I'm not sure DOWHATSHEDO2HERSELF is smart enough to figure out how to create another identity.
In any event, it would be futile. Her manlove for the maggot vick would give her away every time.
Well, that and her hypocrisy for which she is so well known.

I think Dowhat is looking for you USA. She needs her daily fix of "whoop ass" from you or she gets a little grouchy.

Funny Barbara. Have you noticed that DOWHATSHEDO2HERSELF tends not to post unless she knows that some of her fellow "sniffers" are on line? She is intimidated when she knows she is the only one expressing manlove for the maggot dog killer and the only other posters on line are normal people.
I imagine she is absolutely heart broken that little preston and scotty haven't been around.
Sniffers tend to exhibit a "gang mentality". I wonder why that is.
