Yeah, she isn't just looking for a payday. They should award her $1 and make her wait 2 years to get it. Idiot.

Don't rear end (pun intended) her, you will be in court for 3 years...

[quote=CanadianSkin;270912]All I can say, with all the stupid things our team has done in the past with free agency etc. At least we did not swap our first round pick with San Deigo and give up other picks which became (LT, Merriman and their kicker Kaeding) for Micheal "Coach Killer" Vick. who is over hyped and until the lengthen the field to included the frist three rows of the stands will never be a good passer. The guy can running (which is what runningback do) and he has a cannon of the arm, which is why he over throws his receivers by 5-10 yards, but he is a horrible QB and will never win the super bowl.

So Atlanta has given up on a chance to draft what could be the greatest RB in history (if he keeps going with the numbers he is producing) to get this worthless peice of crap. They also traded away one of the greatest QB's ever to play the game (Brett Farve). Makes me feel a little better about our mistakes :)[/quote]

Re: Michael Vick vs. Old Habits
 

Does everyone really hate Vick this much or are you just jealous of him?

Athletes do stupid things just like regular people. The only difference is when they do it everyone hears about it.

Who cares about a water bottle or his brother, the guy is fun to watch (especially when Taylor violently slings him out of bounds).

What he did was wrong and I don't agree w/ it. But the problem with today's youth is not weed. I use to smoke it in college and so did 3/4ths of University of MD. and I turned out OK. I know plenty of responsible grown ups who smoke weed. I mean it's legal in Canada. Weed is not the type of drug that makes people violent. What's the difference between smoking weed and having a vodka and cranberry? Both give you a buzz and make you feel relaxed. I personally don't care if anyone does it behind closed doors. But getting on a plane is different story.

[quote=wilsowilso;270864]Trade that bum and get all you can for him. This is story from awhile ago, but a friend of mine went out to dinner with Mike Vick and about six or seven people while Vick was a senior at VaTech. What he told me was a story that was a sure sign of things to come. The guy doesn't speak to the staff or the waitress at the restaurant once the whole night. He only communicates by snapping fingers at the staff as in come hither lesser humans. He amuses himself by pointing at things on the menu he wants and then snapping his fingers. He literaly snapped his fingers over and over and over and of course he thought he was just hilarious. Big Man on Campus. My friend said he has never been more embarassed for someone or for himself. I really hate stuff like that. Hope he never wins a title and the way he plays I don't think I have to worry.[/quote]

Nobody cares if he smokes weed. He has a growing track record of being a selfish prima donna and he is so overhyped and overated it's like a slap in the face to any kind of fan when he acts like a jerk.

I just find it hard to believe. I mean everyone knows who he is in Blacksburg. So why act like this when it would probably get back to the coaching staff. Not like they could do anything but still. I'm sure at the time he had to set an example because he was BMOC. It could be true but I doubt a person in his position would act like this. Everything I have heard about Vick is the total opposite.

Re: Michael Vick vs. Old Habits
 

Poor ol Ron Mexico screwing up again. The man must be harrasing the brother lol.

Re: Michael Vick vs. Old Habits
 

What gets me about this situation is the stupidity of this whole thing.

Look, I don't give a rat's ass whether or not Michael Vick smokes MJ - - so long as he doesn't do it at halftime of a game and then tank a second half. That would affect the integrity of the game. There's no evidence he does that kind of thing.

I don't care if he screws more women that Wilt Chamberlain claimed to have bagged. That's his business and the business of the women - - not mine.

Having said that, Michael Vick has a contract with the Atlanta Falcons worth a total of $128M according to reports. We all know he'll never see all of that because in the late years of the deal he'll have to renegotiate because his cap number will become astronomical, but he'll collect a gigantic chunk of change from the team over the years. Add to that the fact that he has endorsement deals and stands to get more of them when he has good years on the field.

And with all that staring him in the face, he's stupid enough to try to take a phony water bottle with some "stuff that smells like marijuana" in the secret compartment onto an airplane? That makes me think his IQ is somewhere near his uniform number.

As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon!"

Re: Michael Vick vs. Old Habits
 

If I'm the Falcons I find a way to trade Vick. Not because of this latest incident, but just because I don't see any way this guy will ever be a Super Bowl QB. Trade him and go with Schaub.

He may never be, but he's a tough one to put in perspective. Until this year, When he's been hurt the falcons lose. He's shown he can win, but only win so much.
I still don't believe he's had a coach & recievers that utilize his talent, he's not a good touch passer on short throws. Maybe we should've traded brunell to the falcons this year! MB fit their offense better. Vick throws the deep ball as well as anyone, but he's never had the guys to burn the secondary.
I don't think he'll ever be an all around "great" qb, but he has the talent to win more than lose.

Following your brilliant line of reasoning, why did he bring weed to an airport? I guess that must not be true since that would get back to the coaches too.

I guess giving the Atlanta fans the finger and screaming "F*CK OFF" must have been a media fabrication as well, since that would surely get back to the coaches.

Grow up. Whether something might get back to the coaches or not has no bearing on the integrity of the anecdote in question.

He's such a waste of human life. He has so much talent and the opportunity to be something great, and he's constantly throwing it all away. He's like Randy Moss, Ricky Williams (all potheads coincidentally) who have gone from being potential superstars in the sport to losers that no team really wants.

Vick will be there soon. Atlanta should find a way to void his contract, which shouldn't be hard with the things he has done.

Matt Schaub has always done very well when Vick has been hurt and since Ron Mexico can't help the team win, it's time for a change.

Maybe the Raiders would like Vick. He and Moss would be best friends.

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;271028]Weed is no more addictive than caffeine.[/QUOTE]

True dat. Caffeine and sugar are two of the most addictive legal substances in consumption today. Not to mention alcohol and nicotine.

For the doubters (i.e. hess), pot is not a physical addition. This has been proven. There are absolutely no dangers of withdrawl. Pot is NOT addictive, it's habit forming -- there is a world of a difference. Pot is no more addictive than tapping your foot (you know, those people who can't stop shaking their leg). I know this because I have been a daily smoker for many years, and I have quit cold-turkey on several occasions with absolutely no issues.

The beef I've got with people supporting the illegalization of pot is that they think they have the right to control OTHER people's lives. Who are you to say that I can't do something to my OWN body? And, even if something [I]is[/I] addictive, that doesn't give you the right to force people to abstain, against their will. Do you get to decide what I can and can't be addicted to? It's called personal freedom, and I believe it's an inalienable right.

Take a chill pill would you? Calling Vick a waste of human life is going way overboard. From all accounts he's not a bad locker room guy like Moss. He seems to get along with this teamates.

It took me two seconds to Google him and find out that he has a foundation for at-risk children and that when he fingered the crowd he matched the fine and donated it to charity.

Can you give me the website of your foundation? Let me guess, instead of earning millions of dollars and donating a substantial amount annually, you give your "resources" to a football blog.

Good points. I dont think is really such a big issue but, the law of the United States says that we cannot LEGALLY have weed and Vick broke that law. Yes, I think all this publicity is stupid over such a trivial thing.
