Michael Vick scores again....

[pomtzu]

I know it's baseball season, but this football story is worth a few words.

So the Eagles took on Scumbag Vick last year as a backup quarterback. I had a feeling with his appearance on the team, that star quarterback Donovan McNabb would not be around much longer. Unfortunately, I was correct - he's been traded to the Redskins! After 11 seasons with the Eagles, they decided to let him go. Sure, he was plagued with injuries for a while, but he always came back and gave 1000%. This guy was not only an incredible ball player, but he was a real class act, not one of these pompous jerks that are so full of themselves.

So McNabb took the blame and now suffers the consequences for not being able to pull off a Superbowl win. I thought it was a football team. - not just a one man game.

So Vick still isn't the starter - Kolb is - but now he's one step closer to the top. Such a sad day to see McNabb go, and that dirtbag Vick stay.

I never watched a single game last season because of Vick, and I never will again as long as he is on the team. And now the team management has added insult to injury. I guess being a fine, upstanding individual just doesn't count for anything anymore, and you can be the scum of the earth and come out on top.

It's just not a happy time in EAGLE country!

I just heard on t he news that he was chosen for the Pro Bowl. I don't think he should be allowed that privilege.

He shouldn't have been given the privilege of getting back in the NFL. I don't even understand why he was offered a job.

Obama disagrees.

Obama disagrees.

Don't be that way.

Vick got his 'game' handed to him tonight.

The NFL would be a very small organization if criminals weren't allowed to play.

Obama disagrees.

IMO , our President should have kept his mouth shut on this subject. Somewhat out of line, don't you think???

I caught that on the news, could hardly believe it. But then why am I surprised, seems only the undeserving get the rewards. Hard work , honesty and intergrity seems to have gone down the drain...

I have to disagree. There are plenty of people, in the NFL and elsewhere, who make it using hard work, honesty and integrity. They may not make headlines, but they are there, doing their jobs and working hard every day.

I am not upset that he got a second chance to play football. I'll never watch him in a game*, and applaud those who are boycotting the team dumb enough to hire him. For my part, if he was playing in some podunk town/league, that'd be fine. But I do not think he should ever be allowed a dog again, and hope that much of his salary gets donated to charities who helped care for the dogs of his that were rescued.

*I don't watch football games anyway.

I always make snide comments when the Eagles are playing. I loved the fact that he was sacked 6 times last night!! Woo Hoo!!
My boyfriend says - he's paid his dues and done his time.
My response - I DON'T CARE! He should have never done what he did in the first place. PERIOD!
He agreed with me on that one.

Vick may have paid his dues according to the law b/c he served time but there is a higher law to which he must one day answer. Karma. Golden Rule. Sow and reap. However you want to express it, his time is coming.

I am so totally disgusted that Obama could praise the fact that the slimebag Vick is getting on so well!! All the true heroes in your country he could have said good things about and then to say this !?!

He just said that everyone deserves a second chance, in referring to Michael Vick, he didn't make a speech praising the guy or anything.

"Philadelphia Eagles Owner Jeffrey Lurie said Obama called to congratulate him for giving Vick a second chance.

"The president wanted to talk about two things, but the first was Michael,'' Lurie said, according to King. "He said, 'So many people who serve time never get a fair second chance. He was ... passionate about it. He said it's never a level playing field for prisoners when they get out of jail. And he was happy that we did something on such a national stage that showed our faith in giving someone a second chance after such a major downfall.''

So it was more about people who have served time getting a second chance than any praise of Michael Vick as a human being.
