with apologies to any philly fans...

That is exactly what happened to Vick.

Let's face it.........he grew up in inner-city where certain things are in the cultural.

In his 60minute interview he sort of eluded to his upbringing about dog fighting being a norm.


and guys.............

it really is within that culture.

(note: that is not a racial comment, it is truthful comment regarding different cultures)

True...he still knew it was wrong though...hence why his teammates and coaches knew nothing about it, and why he lied to them until the very end.

Vick is a con man...and he conned the 60 minutes interviewer, and anyone who believed him in that interview IMO.

He doesn't give two shits about the dogs, or anything else he did. He only cares about his money.

hockey is a much better sport than football!

How do you compare Rose to Vick? Rose committed a violation of the rules of the game. Vick committed a crime. Vick's crime had NOTHING to do with football...

Is it an MLB rule, no betting on a games?  I thought it was just the MLB image and the legality of gambling that got him in trouble.

because

the comparison was that MLB was willing to permanently ban a super star like rose for a relatively minor offense

where as the NFL will gladly extend a contract to a shitbird like vick

it was a demonstration to the lackadaisical stance that the NFL has in regards to criminals in their organization

I *think* it was both.

Kind of...I'm not convinced MLB would act any differently...they just haven't been tested yet.

McNabb and Vick on the field at the same time is gonna give alot of defensive coordinators, nightmares. 

[OT]

McNabb isn't that good a QB, and Vick may not last the season....his ego's gonna get the better of him pretty quickly, which will be just the excuse the Iggles will need to send him packing.

Vick is a con man...and he conned the 60 minutes interviewer, and anyone who believed him in that interview IMO.

+1....drowning, hanging, and otherwise killing dogs isn't "normal" in any civilized culture (except, maybe, as food in parts of China  )

I seriously doubt that. I expect some pretty good things on the field between him and Donovan.

[Triple J]

I'm not sure how the Vick/McNabb connection will work.

Hopefully we get to see a lot of this come 11/22:

Brian does that to alot of QB's. 

Nothing new.

you've lived in philly long enough. you know that the iggles don't even know what they are going to do with him.

as someone pointed out the other day, they need some publicity.



i just hope that jerry jones doens't decide to take him off of philly's hands just yet.

[OT]

Travis, you want publicity?

KYW announced today that the Iggles are starting an anti-dog-fighting initiative.....

That's supposed to be some sort of major urban issue to fight, isn't it?  Glad I'm not a rooster right now...

Vick wasn't there for the rollout, and it's not mentioned on the Iggles website.  I think the initiative will be "....Vick comes and takes your fighting dogs and [fill in the blank]...."  Better check those weiners at the 'Link' for fangs

cock fighting is only in certain places in west philly and out towards kennet.
the dog fighting takes place in north philly and the great northeast. (i don't like the NE at all. it's not that great)


and i totally missed that. maybe i should actually start listening to the news. lol.
