    Vick knocks Favre off the front page: Vick still a pariah

    Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 11:00 PM EST [General]

    What did it take to knock Brett FarveFavre off the sports page!

    It took all the media pundits in love with Vick's balling skills, that's what.

    Far more of us want Vick out of the league in 2009.

    There's nothing in the Bill of Rights that guarantees a roster spot in the NFL.   I'm right because I checked the copy on my bicep.

    The whiny kiddies scream for Vick's reinstatement just don't get it.  Try curling up next to a dog or cat for a few hours.   If you don't have one as a roommate, borrow one.  The honest and sincere hugs a human receives from the four-legged crowd can't be faked.

    Why does 'doing your time' automatically qualify you for NFL sainthood?  Being involved in organized, interstate crime should be a lifetime suspension.  Shoeless Joe Jackson was never proven to cheat, yet he's still ineligible for the Hall of Fame.  Guilt by association matters and Vick was the lowlife in charge of the association.  Gitmo anyone?

    Guess what! If your employer finds out you've been busted for a FELONY, you're fired and when you get out of the slammer, you don't get your old job back.  That's reality for those of us who have a clue, pay taxes and get up to go to a job we no longer love.  Reality bites and so does Vick.

    NO VICK in 2009!

    Who said this: "I can do whatever I want and y'all still gonna love me?"   You know!

    Goodell is like Bush on roids......the whole "never waiver" thing.....A snowballs chance in hell....that's Vick's chances of Goodell reinstating him.

    I'm laughing my ass off.....Stallworth paid all that coin to the family of the dude he played orange cone with.....He was probably thinking he could rebuild his nest-egg over the next couple seasons.

    Goodell has impressed me with his stance against players who ignor the whole positive NFL image thing.

    Husker-

    I am also of the belief that just because you serve your time doesn't mean you no longer have to suffer the consequences. If Charles Manson had been sentenced 40 yrs, then he would have been released last year. Does that mean that since he served his time, he is now rehabbed, and worth giving another chance?

    I'm not saying Vick is Manson, but his tortuous ways are pretty indicative of his perception of what is right and what is wrong. You can't change someone who thinks torture is acceptable- it's a personality flaw.

    Does he "deserve" to be in the NFL? No...honestly, he wasn't great before the dogfighting conviction and he certainly hasn't done anything extraordinary to erase his past misdeeds. Should he be given a chance? If there is no interest in him, then obviously, it is a moot point.

    The NFL separates conduct outside the League and inside the League which is a shame. They are supposed to be professionals. Let's see how Goodell handles it.

    PS- send him to Canada!

    Datstar, too bad you have so much anger.

    Athletes that don't have a good moral code will be slammed by the public and sports leagues are noticing.
    Ever seen an animal torn up in person? Not pretty or necessary.

    Tony Romo? Let it go. That was about too many jealous peeps busting on the dude for dating a ditz and playing golf. He's got no rap sheet, so why complain about him.

    Plenty of fans beleive life is one big MMA party. Wrong. Actions have lifetime consequences.

    Now, you may continue to 'whine' about Romo or anything you desire.

    Bingo, thats has been my point about the Vick thing. It's not because he's an athlete, it's because of what he did. Yes I would be fire to from my job.
