[quote=skinsfan_nn;571345]I heard JC make the comment that the first thing he see's when coming on the field today was......DC wants Vick. As he laughed, you have to wonder what is running through his mind.

I have to believe Dan, Vinny, & Zorn comments on this one, Vick WILL NOT be in DC, the end. Where he lands who knows?[/quote]

I don't though why Zorn had to add "at this juncture" in his comment. I hope Vick doesn't come here. Strictly from a football perspective I don't think it makes sense. I'm sure they could make it work I suppose but overall I don't like it.

Why on ESPN's Insider's Football Rumors from today (July 31) do they headline "Momentum Builds for Vick to Skins" ??

Really... why? Anyone have access to Insider to share the writeup??

Yeah we already have a WR-QB hybrid in ARE unless we are get to replace him..................nah doubt it!!!

if the Skins do it - we will be pushing at JC and Snyder's an idiot
if the Patriots do it - true patriots giving a man a 2nd chance in the spirit of america. Bellichek is a genius.

I don't want it to happen, but media bias is so played out.

Well the SKINS have stated there position clearly. I hope the remain true to word.

The only thing that sticks out in the Zorn presser is NO VICK at this juncture, I wasn't so sure how to read into that. I thought he meant not in the near future as in a year or so..? But who knows.

The Pats carry on! Great place for Vick, or anywhere but DC!

Kraft closes door on Vick
Posted by Mike Florio on August 1, 2009 3:37 PM ET

As if there was any doubt regarding the Patriots' lack of interest in quarterback Mike Vick, owner Bob Kraft has plainly stated that Vick won't be joining the team.

Several readers tell us (and Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe tweets) that Kraft told Sirius NFL Radio that it's not happening.

The quote (possibly paraphrased) is as follows: "I feel we have the best player at the position in the world. Why would I want to sign a player that takes him off the field for a play?"

Though Kraft's words don't take into account the possibility of another season-ending injury, multiple ACLs would have to tear before Vick would hit the Pats' radar screen.

Well Kraft can say anything, but until Darth Hoodie says it so, this is still a possibility. Although [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp09/news/story?id=4371142"]Tavaris Jackson just got hurt[/URL], so I wonder if the Vikes would take a look at Vick now.

Yes, but after winning three Superbowl, Darth Hoody can do just about whatever the hell he wants in that team. Although seriously, going to the Pats would be the best situation for Vick. There would be very few criticism from the sports media, and well very few Boston sports fans would complain about this if Darth Hoody is behind the move.

Well it seems now that the Vikes may be a place for Vick if Jackson's injury is pretty serious.

Re: Vick conditionally reinstated by NFL (updated)
 

Jackson's injury was minor and they said he'd be back on the field next week. Vick should just go to the UFL. That's his best option to make money and get some game experience.

Yes, it's just an MCL sprain and day to day. If anything the Farve word reemerges......again, and again, again.......until he's at least Jeff Georges age.

I would have thought Vick the clown would have found a home by now. I'm on record with that statement. But the UFL would not be a bad move. And if there are no takers it might be his only move..?

From what I have read, Vick is reluctant to go to the UFL because he needs $ and he cant make much there.

Really there wont be an owner willing to throw tons to be the poster boy of the UFL? They will sell a lot of seats that way.

Actually I have no idea how the pay structure works in the UFL.

I dont know how it works either but I heard Vick needs lots of $ fast and he isnst going to get lots of $ in the UFL. The UFL bills itself as a developmental league so I it seems like there wont be any big $ contracts.

Re: Vick conditionally reinstated by NFL (updated)
 

[quote=irish;571875]From what I have read, Vick is reluctant to go to the UFL because he needs $ and he cant make much there.[/quote]

At present, however, Vick could make money with the UFL but zero with the NFL. Maybe he'll sign with an NFL team - I'm not saying he won't - but if he can't get an NFL job for too long of a time, you can be sure that the bankruptcy judge will be happier if Vick is employed [I]somewhere[/I].

I think he is reluctant to go to the UFL because of pride.

Re: Vick conditionally reinstated by NFL (updated)
 

I do not see Minnesota happening for Vick. Jackson's injury is not that serious from what I've heard. The most important reason though, is that both Jackson and Vick wear number 7 :)

I have this feeling that Vick is going to end up in STL with the Rams. I even had a wierd dream about it.

Re: Vick conditionally reinstated by NFL (updated)
 

Who knows where Mike Vick will end up? It's funny Kobe Bryant was forgiven for his case in Colorado. Marv Albert is working again as a broadcaster. Michael Irvin was forgiven for his past drug cases. Michael Vick made a poor decision and lied to Roger Goddell when asked about his involvement. Mike Vick was sentenced to 23 months in Federal Prison, lost his indorsements. He was released by the Falcons and lost his contract, which he had to pay back his bonus money. Vick got everything he deserved for making such a poor decision to take part in this dog fighting ring. It's time to forgive him and give him a chance to move on with his life. If he can produce on the football field he will get a chance. The NFL is a business and if you produce than you will have a place on a NFL team. How many chances did they give Koren Robinson? Leonard Little ( DUI Manslaughter). Funny how Matt Jones WR ( Jaguars) got busted with Cocaine in a vehicle and it was such a small story in the NFL. I guess if your not A big time star than its not news worthy. Give Vick a chance to redem himself. I love animals but he did not kill a human. It was wrong but we all make mistakes.

Re: Vick conditionally reinstated by NFL (updated)
 

Was Goodell was commissioner when Little's stuff happened? I would be amazed if he was and Little is still playing.

As for Jones, it may have been a minor story, but no team has picked him up yet have they? And Baltimore definitely needs receivers.

If Vick can find a team he will play again. But apparently not alot of teams are in the market for him.

I think it has a lot to do with the crime. I lot of people love dogs and to picture someone hurting dogs offends a great deal of people. Even Hollywood stays away from abusing or killing animals in movies. I watch a ton of horror films that are supper graphic you hardly ever see a dog hurt in them and you never see a baby hurt. People are very senstive to both dogs and babies. I guess because both represent pure unconditationaly love.

I've said this before (maybe earlier in this thread, sorry if I have); regardless of how you feel about dog fighting, Vick took part in an organized crime for a couple of years, even bank rolled it. Some mistakes are short, one night of bad judgement, but this went on for a long time.

If it weren't dog fighting, say he was caught dealing drugs & had been for a couple of years, it would still be more serious than if he'd used drugs like M. Jones.

Seriously, the dude could've been fighting tigers or grizzly bears and people would just be like "lol" but since it's dogs we get all moist in the vaginal area. I mean don't get me wrong, I love dogs, but they're the same as any other animal in that regard.

I heard that...

Bullfighters who come here from Spain are not spoken with the same disdain by people who "love" animals so much. These bullfighters are killing much larger animals than dogs, and in a tortuous way.

I certainly don't approve/condone what Vick did or how he did it. The fact is that animals the world over are treated differently than humans. No matter how much animals lovers want them to be treated like humans, they are not.

I hope Cerrato and Snyder don't do something stupid like signing Vick to the Redskins. He's a good football player but not a good QB.
