The Vick Autograph Revisited

[Apollo Creed]

Now that Choice has moved on and no longer plays any role with the Cowboys. How does this make you feel?

It was easy to look the other way when he was arguably one of the more effective runners on the team and always seemed to run with fire and give the team a spark, but now that he's struggling to find work in a pretty RB thin league speaks volumes for what position he's in at this point in his career. I liked what he brought to the table, liked how hard he ran, loved his speech before Clemson at Ga Tech.

But I will never get over this. This bothered me more than the TO incident.

Thoughts?

What's even more sickening is people actually bought his alabi.

Yeah! His two year old niece/nephew - whichever it was, is cognizant enough to have a fav player!!!!

Good one

this was one of the most embarrassing moments in dallas cowboys history.

Glad those days are over.

I think it defined how the team was mentally soft. We had players who had the gall to do this in front of the fans and their own teammates and other players who were too afraid to say anything because they didn't want to ruffle feathers instead of having the guts to question Choice's intensity and common sense.

A lot of times when there are big stories in Dallas, they often revolve around things that are common in the league. Like Romo and Witten taking a vacation during their bye week or the supposed 'nepotism' of Jerry hiring his sons.

But here, I honestly believe that if this happened in Baltimore, New England, Pittsburgh and other places, Choice's teammates would have called him out on it. And more likely, Choice would have known better than to ask for an autograph after the game.

this was one of the most embarrassing moments in dallas cowboys history.

I was once a Tashtard fan. After that moment, I'll never be a fan of Choice.

 

[Risen Star]

I remember ripping him for it and, of course, getting ripped myself in the process.

It's okay to call it like it was now?

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Had no problem with it then and still don't.

 

[Aven8]

Speaking of him where is he now?

 

[casmith07]

He's not here. He's a scrub in Buffalo now. I didn't care then (because he was a bum who was on his way out), and don't care now.

I like how people pretend he wasn't important then.

Choice, at one time around here, was a prized possession in Dallas, a chip, like Martellus Bennett that was either a big part of our hand to be played or one to trade away.

But after we hold onto them, like prizes, and we eventually have to release or allow to leave in free agency, they become terrible.

Why anyone would care what he does now after he has been off the team is beyond me.

The rage was appropriate then.

Now it should be a question of why do you care.

Yeah, a man wanted an autograph from another player. Not everyone has the same views on Vick as most fans.

Don't know you dude, haven't been around much... but your posts have an all too common "I told you so" theme.

 

[fifaguy]

Indifference, at this point. Hate em both.

I didn't care all that much it was from Vick. It was more that we just played a game against a team. And that team was a divisional rival.

Funny, you don't see the Eagles asking for Romo's autograph after the game.
