YKW seems like he has grown up - Magic Man - 09-28-2010 10:44 PM
I hate Vick for all he did to this franchise, and all that, but now that the hate has turned to a scab that has healed and left a scar I can say a few things.
#1. Mike looks like he has grown up a lot. I watched him give an interview after last weeks game, and he brought up Atlanta, and didn't bash us once. He alluded to the fact that Philly was a better passing attack, but said Atlanta had a better rushing attack. This didn't seem huge, but the way he responded to the questions blew me away. He sounds a lot more mature than he ever did here. #2. He has finally woken up and decided that he would rather be a QB than a RB and learned the difference between his ability as a runner and a passer. He trusts his arm, and it shows. #3. I hope he does well, in every game except ours. In that one I hope he has three picks and two fumbles...in the first quarter.

Agree, but please leave the YKW back on the OMB. I hope we can all be mature enough here to address him by name.

I hope he does well, except against us.
As far as if he has changed, who the hell knows? He's gotta keep it together for more than (length of time since cousin/defendants shooting) before I think he has changed. I am sure he can say all the right words, but it will take some time to know if he is still in the honeymoon phase with Philly, or if he really decided to really put in work and keep his nose clean.

I did that because 99% of the posters here are from the OMB. Still not sure about everyone sensitivities regarding him. He's easily the most polarizing figure in the NFL, and possibly sports...or at least up there with Tiger. Although you will notice Tony, that I used his name in the thread.

He's after another $100 million contract. He has to be very careful with what he says now.

True. People are still sensitive as hell. But I do see you *high5*

I'm rooting for the guy, what he did was awful but the punishment didn't fit the crime.
I won't be rooting for him when we go to Philadelphia though.

He will never sniff that money. Maybe San Fran brings him in (if Mike Heres-My-Ass keeps his job) or something like that, but dude won't be getting Brady money.

Forgive me for never paying attention to Mike Vick threads, but...what does YKW stand for?

You Know Who
That started when someone on the OMB deemed it forbidden to speak the name Michael Vick. It was like the 11th Commandment or something.
