Vick Is Back...













So thought I would get on here to at least make a comment on the whole Michael Vick situation. As many of you know he is back in the NFL. And I for one am very glad to see him come back. I really thought I was a shame the way the NFL went about the whole Michael Vick dog fighting situation. I call it making him the example. Sure he was out of control and true he was getting into a lot of stuff at that time in his life and I do agree that he needed something to put him on the right path and straighten up his act. But, getting sentenced to jail was a bit much. I mean he organized a Pit Bull dogfighting ring. Okay, are we forgetting how evil those dogs are. They are treating it like he was making some nice little, civilized dogs engage in something they aren't known for. Man please, I haven't seen a Pit that wasn't on the verge of attack. It is just in their nature. If it wasn't him fighting them then it would have been somebody else. It is what they do. People do this all the time. It had nothing to do with the NFL. But this is coming from someone how really just got into football so I really don't know too much about it. But I do have common sense and I know there are much worse crimes being committed by NFL players who are getting a much less sentence by the law and the NFL. It just really seems unfair.






But the jail time is over and the one thing that many thought wouldn't happen has. Mike Vick is being given a second chance at his career. He has recently signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. And from what I hear, they are a good team and he could potentially get to the Super Bowl. How mad will that make the haters. I was personally hoping for him to go to the Buffalo Bills. But that's just my crazy thinking. But lets think about it though. What if Mike Vick (one of the most hated NFL players) went to Buffalo to play alongside Terrell Owens (possible the most hated NFL player) how funny would that be. And what if the team was good. The piss off factor would have been incredible. Then once they started winning then the fans would have no choice but to jump on the ban wagon and cheer. How funny.







Now do I believe the whole "I'm a changed man" thing, I'm not sure. I do know people can change, but I also know people can say what they need to say to get that paper straight. So I guess as long as the people writing the checks agree on his return then I guess whether they believe him or not doesn't even matter. At the end of the day, if he can make them money and they can put him back on and help his pockets in the meantime, that's all that matters. But you can only front for so long, so we'll see. Holla.
