Why??? Vick was jailed for his actions and paid his debt. I am a dog lover, 2 Golden Ret., and was willing to hear the guy out. He seems to be heading in the right direction and is very remorseful of his actions. I hope he does well for us as Eagles fans and for himself as a human being.
High drama will ensue....
you mean the kind of minds that drown, electrocute, and beat dogs to death? F Michael Vick- he's back in the NFL, and hopefully he'll turn a negative into a postive, but that doesn't mean us "small minded" people have to support him.. he's a scumbag- always was, always will be.. just because he's been given a gift to rturn to the NFL doesn't change that fact..
Not even that....(although that is bad).... It boggles the mind that an organization like the NFL, that is so concerned about the integrity of their game that they would go to court to block legal sportbook gambling in Delaware, would allow a man who was brought up on RICO charges, who ran an illegal interstate gambling ring and associated with big time illegal gamblers, back into the league.
sorry but that's ridiculous, Vick did not associate with "big" time gamblers. the gambling on dog fighting does not attract real gamblers, it's basically gang vs gang betting which in the grand scheme of things is small. I've read a lot on dogfighting and 10k is considered a HUGE bet in dogfighting. that's peanuts for big gamblers and those kind of gamblers don't mess around with dog fighting.
He didn't run an illegal interstate gambling ring? Hey...like I said .....for a league that is so concerned with their integrity that they moved to block legalized gambling I guess it's no big deal. Just another example of what a joke the NFL is becoming in regards to hypocrisy.
link? Do the Feds lock people up for not associating with "big time gamblers?"
he never was a very bright QB..
2nd game and a couple of weeks of practices after 2 years out of the game, what did people expect?I don't know how good he'll be this year, but now doesn't seem like the time make that judgement.
Yes, the amount of the bets is irrelevant as far as the Feds are concerned. Betting illegally on a banned sport was the issue.Sorry but dog fighting doesn't bring in big gamblers. It's nickel and dime betting in the grand scheme of things.
I'd love us to go to the 'bowl again, but I'm not so sure that Vick is going to help us or hurt us - I can think of valid arguments for both sides, and I think it remains to be seen. I personally was hoping for the 6 week suspension to give the team more time to gel together before Vick is eligible, but I'm sure I'm in the minority on that one.That being said, I do think that Vick has paid his debt, and I do think he is legitimately trying to turn his life around. I think it's going to take a while (and a whole lot of volunteer work) for him to convince the majority of folks of that, though.
against the Jets scrubsvick's statline tonite........................7 of 10 for 26 yards with a pick..................... 2 fumbles and 1 lost 6 rushers for 25 yards and a TD
Solid
For whatever reason his 23 yard loss on a run isn't included, guess cause it's considered a sack.vick's statline tonite........................7 of 10 for 26 yards with a pick..................... 2 fumbles and 1 lost 6 rushers for 25 yards and a TD
