Sol Rosenberg 10,141 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I know it's an integrity of the game issue with Rose, but other integrity issues didn't result in a lifetime ban. Look at Steroids. Manny. When did he start? I question every game he's played, and I'm a Sox fan. But he still swings a bat well, and puts people in the stands. Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, Clemens. They did as much to soil baseball's integrity as Rose did. If Rose could still hit in 40 games in a row, he'd be playing. But there's no money to be made from it now, so it won't happen.

But he didn't just allow/bankroll dog fighting which is abhorrent in itself, far beyond the simple statement...oh dog fighting..........it's not a small thing. It's cruel on so many levels. But more specifically if you look at the things he has admitted to doing..................hanging a dog to death........killing a dog with a cattle prod................holding a dog underwater as it struggles and drowns. Those are not small gambling offenses or innocent transgressions on the wrong side of the law. Those are deep seated character issues. There is something innately wrong with someone who can reason their way clear to hang a dog by the neck in a tree to slowly die as it struggles to live, or to hold a dog underwater as it struggles to live and slowly drowns while its struggles grow increasingly weaker............... Â I am not one to anthropomorphize an animal and value its abuse as equal to those acts done to a human....but it is a living sentient being that experiences fear and pain.

Â They did not need a power running game, did not want a power running game. Bill Walsh designed an offense where that was not a factor. Plus Roger Craig was awesome. I just looked at his stats, he had a five year period where he averaged around 1500 all purpose yards per year. Â p.s. I can't wait for football season! Link to post Share on other sites

Â My point is the Iggles have traditionally shied away from these kind of distractions. Andy Reid has kept the team smooth and consistent without having to play around with the divas. Until TO, that is. Â IMHO, this is another situation where a talented ballplayer will enter a cohesive unit with good team chemistry and fuck it up. Link to post Share on other sites

austin1972 629 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Sorry, I can't give Vick a 2nd chance. Nope. We deal with too many animals daily that are being raised for the sole purpose of slaughter and being eaten by you folks. And myself, I'll add. Â We make sure they are the happiest animals on earth for their time here. To torture and kill dogs is unacceptable on many, many levels. Dogs cannot take care of themselves and rely on their human masters to provide for the safety and wellbeing. Vick in in violation of the nature of things and I cannot forgive.

But he didn't just allow/bankroll dog fighting which is abhorrent in itself, far beyond the simple statement...oh dog fighting..........it's not a small thing. It's cruel on so many levels. But more specifically if you look at the things he has admitted to doing..................hanging a dog to death........killing a dog with a cattle prod................holding a dog underwater as it struggles and drowns. Those are not small gambling offenses or innocent transgressions on the wrong side of the law. Those are deep seated character issues. There is something innately wrong with someone who can reason their way clear to hang a dog by the neck in a tree to slowly die as it struggles to live, or to hold a dog underwater as it struggles to live and slowly drowns while its struggles grow increasingly weaker............... I am not one to anthropomorphize an animal and value its abuse as equal to those acts done to a human....but it is a living sentient being that experiences fear and pain.

Hard to imagine with the stink he has caused that they will permit him to occupy the field, but if he can run as loose and free as before, they will hold their noses and just put a leash on their natural disgust. Â After mulling it over, I'm willing to bet Vick is put on a short leash (pun definitely intended) and is a model citizen for all intents and purposes. Whether it is Andy Reid, another coach or a player, or better "handlers", he'll talk the talk. Like said earlier, I have not seen the remorse that would indicate he grasps the depth of the disgust the civilized world has with his behavior. He seems to be sorry he got nailed. He hasn't changed, but will put on a good show about how he is a changed man. Â As for the fans, they'll love him if the team wins or ride him out of town on a rail if they lose. I don't see the average Eagle fan giving much thought to a PETA ad. Â On the field, this offense could be staggering. Look for the wildcat, lots of Vick in the backfield with the option to pass, etc. Â I still wish they never signed him. Link to post Share on other sites
KAG 2 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I find it interesting that our society goes nuts over the fact that MV let some dogs fight - but someone like chris brown can beat the shit out of rihanna and its just a shrug and relgated to Nancy Grace and the celebrity hour on CNN.

But if we're going to hold the NFL and other pro sports to that standard (which I think we should) then there should be a WHOLE lot of other athletes who should be out of work for general thuggery and running afoul of the law. Hell, half of the UF football grads and MOST of the NBA would qualify for that. Â So singling out Vick seems a bit hypocritical. I totally agree that allowing these thugs to remain in professional sports sets a bad example - but $$ drives the show. And I have a lot more empathy for someone who has served his time and is walking the straight and narrow having learned a lesson than the thugs and criminals who are allowed to keep playing after numerous infractions. Â And don't get me wrong about the dog thing, PB. I value my German Shepard far more than about 2/3 of the earth's population. So I think there should be a special place in hell for people who do these kinds of cruel things to animals. But again, its a double standard, IMHO, to show this kind of outrage at Vick when there are sociopaths all throughout pro sports and the entertainment industry that we don't bat an eye about. Â Got to make a stand somewhere. Vick seems like the perfect place. But I also realize there is no perfect world. We have become a forgiving nation if we cover the spread and win the pool.
