Vick apologizes

[Alexander]

Cox flipped off Bills fans though, not his own right?

Not saying you don't have a good point, just asking if I remember right.

Yes, he you recall correctly.

And as was pointed out, Jake Plummer did it to his own fans as well.

Looks like the excuses for Vick's actions are already made. ESPN saying it is frustration, etc.

Cox was just a "bad guy." Quite a dichotomy.

I met Plummer back when he was Cardinals QB. I found him to be an arrogant jerk. It doesn't surprise me at all that he did that.

I went to the Draft in NYC this year. There was a Broncos fan who was so happy with the Cutler pick. He was hilarious, and very drunk. I bet he's giddy today.

I guess he got this script from daddy Blank and read it off:

Falcons | Vick releases statement regarding exchange with fans
Sun, 26 Nov 2006 18:18:44 -0800

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick has released a statement regarding his exchange with fans after the team's Week 12 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The statement read: "First and foremost, I would like to apologize for my inappropriate actions with fans today. I was frustrated and upset at how the game was going for my team, and that frustration came out the wrong way. That's not what I'm about. That's not what the Atlanta Falcons are about. I simply lost my cool in the heat of the moment. I apologize and look forward to putting this incident behind me."

Life is simple. Just put incidents behind you.
IMHO Vick is poetry in motion on the field. Mesmerizing with runs and electric in scrambling and then passing. Today, had his knucklehead receivers not dropped all those balls, he'd might have had a great day.

But ultimately, I do think the elder Mora was right. You can't win consistently with roller-coaster-like production and emotions.

Well Vick is overrated, but I really don't understand this total hate for him. (Then again, I knew nothign about the Herpes).

I don't hate him. I just get tired of the hype about him. He's a terrific RB, & could have been one of the best ever. Unfortunately, he thinks he's a QB (LT is a better passer). Even more unfortunately, he perpetually gets a pass on his shortcomings. I get equally tired listening to announcers kiss up to Favre--the guy is past his prime, should have retired a few years ago, & it's tiresome to constantly listen to all the excuses for him. Ditto for all the Peyton Manning commercials--are there no other NFL players who could be on tv? But back to Vick--seriously, how long does the guy get to "learn" his position? Carr gets blasted; Harrington gets blasted (ironically, we now see maybe it was his crappy OL & WRs); Vick gets excused. And assuming Whitlock has a point, it's also disappointing for us as fans--we might have had a chance to see a truly transcendent QB play the game had he actually been expected to work at improving himself. We'll probably only ever see those tantalizing flashes but nothing more.
