Vick is a crybaby

As far as the hit in the Giants game, it was close but definitely helmet to helmet. Bottom line, had that been Tom Brady or Peyton Manning flags would have been all over the place.

Tough guys don't whine about getting hit. FBs and LBs are tough. McNabb throughout his career has been tough, Mark Brunell taking 57 sacks in a season w/Jax is tough, Archie Manning behind those awful Saints lines in the 70s without the QB rules today was tough, hell Jason Campbell is tough....but anyway this tunes been sung before by Vick/Reid.

Par for the course with Vick, things get tough, it's somebody else's fault:

Michael Vick to judge: 'I am not the beast' - CNN.com

"I'm very humble and caring...." Last I checked folks that are really humble don't go around saying, "I'm very humble".

"I've accepted responsibility for my actions...", but yet its the area he grew up in, or people around him that made him fund and actively participate in his dogfighting exploits.

"I apologize for my failed drug test...", my Daddy made me sad, so I smoked.....Come on man.

"Throughout this entire case, I've just tried to be honest..." Really???? Translation, I had to be honest because there were sworn affidavits and mountains of evidence against me, the Suffolk prosecutor was neutralized by the Feds, and I didn't want to get nailed with Federal perjury charges on top of everything else.

Vick is an incredibly gifted athlete, but has been coddled his whole life because of it. He thinks he's entitled to money, fame, winning games. Instead of being tough and a good leader and doing what he can (more film study to get rid of the ball faster, throw the ball away and not try to make every play with his feet, understand the OL calls/protections better) to correct the issues with his teammates/coaches he whines about the refs in a presser. Sorry, that ain't tough.

What he should've done was STFU, do what I mention above, and let Reid whine to the media.
