So Last year Vince Young says "Dream Team" and this year Vick says..."Dynasty" LOL - Page 3 - Dallas Cowboys Forum

When I look at our football team and what we have on paper, I think about when I was growing up and the great San Francisco 49er teams, the great Green Bay Packer teams, and the great Dallas Cowboy teams, how they just positioned themselves to compete and be one of the best teams out there," Vick said.

BUT WHY NOT BELIEVE A GOOD GUY LIKE VICK

In 2007, statements were made by his father, Michael Boddie, about possible dogfighting activities in 2001. Boddie told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that around 2001, Vick was staging dogfights in the garage of the family's home in Newport News and kept fighting dogs in the family's backyard, including injured ones which the father nursed back to health. Boddie said his son had been urged to not engage in the activity, but continued. He stated: "This is Mike's thing. And he knows it."[51] Within days, Vick's mother, Brenda Vick Boddie, told the Newport News Daily Press "There was no dogfighting (at our home). There were no cages."[52]

In early 2004, two men were arrested in Virginia for distributing marijuana. The truck they were driving was registered to Vick. Falcons coach Dan Reeves recalled that he lectured Vick at that time on the importance of reputation, on choosing the right friends, and on staying out of trouble for the good of his team.

On October 10, 2004, Vick and other members of his party, including employee Quanis Phillips, were at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport on their way to board an AirTran flight. While they were passing through a security checkpoint, a security camera caught Phillips and Todd Harris picking up an expensive-appearing watch which belonged to Alvin Spencer, a security screener.[54] After watching the theft on a video tape, Spencer filed a police report. He claimed that Billy "White Shoes" Johnson, known as the Falcons' "fixer", interfered with the investigation.[53] Although Vick representatives declined to make him available for an Atlanta police inquiry, six days later Spencer got the watch back from them.[54]

In March 2005, Sonya Elliott filed a civil lawsuit against Vick alleging she contracted genital herpes from him in the autumn of 2002 and that he failed to inform her that he had the disease.[55] Elliot further alleged that Vick had visited clinics under the alias "Ron Mexico" to get treatments and thus knew of his condition. On April 24, 2006, Vick's attorney, Lawrence Woodward, revealed that the lawsuit had been settled out of court under undisclosed terms.[56] Many fans bought custom jerseys from NFL.com with Vick's number 7 and the name "MEXICO" on the back. The NFL has since banned customizing jerseys with the name Mexico.[57]

November 26, 2006 – After a loss to the New Orleans Saints in the Georgia Dome, in apparent reaction to fans booing, Vick made an obscene gesture at fans, holding up two middle fingers. He was fined $10,000 by the NFL and agreed to donate another $10,000 to charity.[58]

January 17, 2007 – Vick surrendered a water bottle which had a hidden compartment to security personnel at Miami International Airport. "The compartment was hidden by the bottle's label so that it appeared to be a full bottle of water when held upright," police said. Test results indicated there were no illegal substances in the water bottle and Vick was cleared of any wrongdoing.[59] Vick announced that the water bottle was a jewelry stash box, and that the substance in question had been jewelry.[60]

On April 24, 2007, Vick was scheduled to lobby on Capitol Hill, hoping to persuade lawmakers to increase funding for after-school programs. Vick missed a connecting flight in Atlanta on Monday to Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia. He failed to show up for another seat booked for him later that evening. On Tuesday morning, he did not attend his scheduled appearance at the congressional breakfast where he was to be honored for his foundation's work with after-school projects in Georgia and Virginia.[61] Vick's mother Brenda accepted the award from the Afterschool Alliance.

On January 23, 2010, the Dallas Morning News reported that steroid trafficker David Jacobs told the paper he supplied steroids to Vick while Vick played for the Falcons. When questioned by federal agents and prosecutors, Vick denied the allegations.[62]

DOG KILLER SHOULD NOT EVEN BE PLAYING FOOTBALL

I think Romo knows he is under enough pressure to say anything retarded like Vick. No need in putting even more pressure on yourself

"dynasty" of bad behavior. Truth is that if Vick wasn't a great athlete he'd been a lifer in prison dating back to his late teens. Everyone from his home area knows it too, he got away with everything, until the dogfighting. He's just that kind of person and always has been. He's scum.

That aside, what scares me about the eagles more than anything is their D, which I'm afraid is going to be scary good as it was finishing the season last year. The #2 and #3 things that concern me is McCoy and then the speedy WRs. I completely see Vick as the weak link that gives me confidence (or at least hope) that we can beat them, esp if Murray stays healthy. Unless somehow the rest of the team carries Vick late into the playoffs or farther, hard to see how Vick comes back to the Eagles, he's just fading fast. Additionally, he might have a hard time finding a job at all if the eagles dump him...which would actually serve him right....and then broke in a year....and probably back in prison within 5.

As far as dynasty give me a break. As usual, the Vick and eagles have insulted every team and everyone who ACTUALLY won something. Dynasty...win one SB first, which they won't, and then maybe you can float that word. There are plenty of teams in the league with a lot of talent like Philthy and Vick ain't no Brady or Manning.

Please, the Eagles had McCoy, Jackson and Vick last season and started 1-4 and finshed 8-5. So what's going to be so different this year? Vick is still the same Turnover Prone QB who will either get hit and fumble or throw a interception

Your numbers = 9-9 regular season. Actually finished 7-4, for an 8-8 record. But, I agree, Vick is very likely to still have his turnover and injury problems this season. I expect Philly's D to be better right out of the gate, though.

I would think skill is not necessary to get idiots/fools to say something stupid.

I live in the Philly area ,and on the radio the other day they said that the headline in the philly paper read "From 8-8 to great"...It always backfires on you when when this kind of stuff happens

The offense was inconsistent

That may have been most of it although I'd lay some at Vick's feet as well. There's just something else I can't put my finger on although I admit I didn't watch enough games to really have an informed opinion for that. The lack of enough data is probably the reason I can't figure it out well.

He said today on local philly news

"I'm going to take Andy Reid's advice and stay in the pocket more since I;m not getting any younger"

I would love if he decided to do that

Prime example of the idiocy of this dog-killin felon.

Yo, nimrod, look up the definition of a dynasty before you ramble on about having one. Dynasties occur after you at least win one championship, and you didn't even make the playoffs last year. From Dream Team to Dynasty without so much as a playoff berth. LOL

And to think, this is the smarter of two Vick brothers. Amazing.
