Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?

But my thread was different from what has been posted here...something people are afraid to touch on, which has racial undertones written all over it.

also, I think you missed this part:
When I feel like hearing about what going on with him I then go to those threads.

if you don't like talking about him, then don't go to the threads. It's a whole lot better than going to the thread and bitching about the fact that there is a thread that exists that you feel the need to post on even though you don't want to talk about it!
It's the Howard Stern theory. If you don't like him, then turn the freakin knob on the radio to someone else.
If you don't like fantasy football, should we close our fantasy football section on this site cause you don't like it? How self centered are you?
IGNORE IT PEOPLE!

Here's the problem: while I'm sick of hearing about That Certain Former Player I did (for example) want to watch the game last night for other reasons. It would have been really hard for me to have changed the channel and actually get to see how Carson Palmer looked. I supposed I could have muted the TV and put on some music or something but whenever I do that I lose interest in the game quickly, which is ironic because having to hear Mort talk about That Certain Former Player for 12 minutes straight also makes me lose interest in the game.

Now, as for here on TheWarpath, I completely agree with you and I've been in this argument before. I will NEVER understand why some people feel the need to post things like "this thread is stupid" or "why is this thread still going on." Just ignore it if you don't like it.
The beauty of a site like this is that you basically have the freedom to pick and choose the content that you see. If there is something that you want to talk about odds are that you can find someone to discuss the topic with. At the same time, if you're when watching a game on TV you rarely have that freedom.

Not to be a smart ass and I see your basic point, but I find it ironic that you are suggesting that people ignore threads that annoy them, but are complaining about about this trhead instead of ignoring it. Sorry for being an ass, but I had to point it out.

I don't take it as being a smartass, I figured someone would point it out, but look at it this way, when someone starts a thread, you are either for or against the subject (title usually). I am against this subject to make a Michael Vick free zone.

Those people that come and just say "this thread is dumb" aren't participating in the thread subject at all, I was.

I commend your efforts. I make posts to generate discussion, and I think that this post has served that purpose so far. I'm just ready for some football and ready to stop hearing about boneheaded athletes (unfortunately that will never happen). I'm ready to beat those Dolphins into the ground in a couple of weeks! Trent Green won't know what hit him!

I just watched the youtube video in your sig SS. Priceless stuff.

I've actually heard that there might be some truth to that.

I've heard that one too.

Micheal Vick is easily the biggest topic in the NFL right now. It doesn't surprise or annoy me at all that there a few Micheal Vick threads.

This site is all about discussion. I don't see what we have to gain by eliminating a topic that is the subject of so much attention right now. I agree with everyone else who says, "if you don't want to read about it, go to another thread."

Now if in 3 months this is still going on, I may change my opinion...

You mean it hasn't been three months yet?

Judging by the fact that this thread is not locked yet, I would say that the answer to the question in your title is NO!
