ATLANTA – Seated toward the back of The Highlander bar, Nick Black embodies the bottom line for both sides in the lingering debate over quarterback Michael Vick(notes) in this city.
Black, a 28-year-old white graduate of Georgia Tech who is both highly intelligent and pretty much inebriated, watched as Vick breaks through the line against Minnesota in the second-to-last game of the regular season. Black yelled with delight, “Go Vick, woooh
As Vick, who failed that night to rescue Philadelphia from a bad start, finished the run with a fumble, Black yelled again.
“Vick, you were always a loser.”
Black’s reaction is a microcosm of what is expected to happen if the Eagles and Falcons collide in the NFC championship game. For weeks, sports radio has bubbled with talk of a possible showdown with the Super Bowl on the line. But to say this is just about football is ridiculously short-sighted.
