It's official: Vick is a punk

[DragonCowboy]

I strained my groin once. Initially, it wasn't bad at all. Later in the day though, I couldn't move without having pain, I couldn't shift when I was sitting, or anything.

Here's the thing:

If Vick strained his groin like I strained mine, I'm sure that he'd be able to play for the rest of the game (I felt a little tweak in my groin when I first got hurt, and it took about 10-15 minutes before the twinges really set in).

If he pulled it, I have no idea if he'd be able to play.

The thing is, Vick and Mora Jr. both probably knew that if the Falcons were to win the game, it'd be on the shoulders of the passing Schaub, not the running Vick.

That's my take. It really doesn't matter, as I think Schaub (IMO, the better passer) would give Atlanta the better chance.

That's like telling a deaf kid to listen more carefully.

i think vick is totally overhyped and is a punk (middle finger to crowd)...

but it's tough to play with a pulled groin and before he left the game you could see him limping and grimmacing. sanders & co hype him all game, then punked him with the "never" come out of a game. LOL.

the odds of him throwing another TD pass, late in that game was about the odds of an asteriod hitting Earth tonite.

I agree that Vick is over hyped.

What really gets me is the Falcons gave up a ton to move up 1 pick in the draft to take Vick, while LT and Drew Brees were there for the pickings. Falcons could have gotten both for the price of Vick.

here we have TO playing w/ a busted finger, which he denied the surgery to fix, so he could play

Glenn playing on degenerative knee(s)

and Vick leaves the game, in the crucial minutes, because he pulled his groin

pathetic

I don't know about that conclusion. If you said Vick is a punk because of his middle-finger-to-his-own-fans incident, I'd say definitely.

Now that's a Vick family type move.

A pulled groin sucks, you can hardly move your leg at 1st..

He did a great job of walking off the field, and from the sideline to the locker room.

Vick should have his man card taken away.

Why beat on Vick for getting injured? If he were taken off on a stretcher, you probably would say, why didn't he get up and continue playing. I saw Staubach come out of games for getting hit in the head. A few times, it must not have been that bad because he would come back in the game only to have to leave again for getting hit in the head. Yes, that is sarcasm. A pulled groin is an injury that will slow down most players. A QB has to use his legs to get under center, to drop back, to throw and in Vicks case to run like a madman. QBs can't do that with a pulled groin. A pulled groin may even keep someone from posting nonsense on a message board about a player being a punk for getting injured. Vick may indeed be a punk, but it isn't for pulling a groing muscle. Ridiculous.
