NFL: THE MERGED VICK THREAD

[papachaz]

I am not ashamed to announce that I am a mike vick HATER! i do admit that when he was here, i absolutely LOVED watching him play. i remember when we drafted Norwood, the thoughts that anytime either of them had the ball, there was the chance it could go to the house! It was exciting to watch them, no doubt.
When Vick started showing his true colors, i began to wonder. Take himself out of a game because there was no hope of coming back. Flip off the fans, do stupid stuff like get caught with that false bottom water bottle in the airport. Sign that huge contract and take that money KNOWING he was breaking a law that if caught could wind him up in prison.
Obviously, he had that 'hey i'm mike vick, and i can get out of if' was proven, even after he started off trying to lie his way out of it. But, i do believe give the guy a chance to turn his life around, he did his time. BUT....and here's why i have such a strong hatred for him. To come out and openly admit, that as a Falcon, he never applied himself; he never studied; that he basically didn't care about us as fans, or his team mates. Okay, put some of that blame on the coaching staff who didn't really try to take this young guy straight from college and mold him. Would he have turned out differently if Dan had been kept around? i can't help but think yeah he would have. Mora certainly wasn't the guy to try to help him mature and mold him. Thats for sure.
there comes a time when everyone has to step up and take responsibility for their actions. It appeared that MV was trying to do that. Now it appears that was all just a show, appearance just to try to get back into good enough standing to be allowed to play ball again and earn a big paycheck again. I hate his dumb punk thug ass as much as i've ever hated anyone. I call him that, not for the dogfighting, but for the lies about it, for basically saying 'fuck you fans' so that's what i say back, fuck you mike vick. glad you got that big contract so the team i'm a fan of can recoup part of the money i feel like you stole. Now i wish you nothing but bad luck. go ahead, show your true colors again as you've begun to do, and let the real punk ass thug you really are.
