Vick flips a heckling fan the Dirty Bird

[Bleu Star]

Towards the end of the game the CBS camera caught Vick flipping off a fan and say "*** you" to said Falcons fan. It's all over the ESPNEWS highlights so you should catch it on Sportscenter. My question is this. As a professional sports star you are held to a certain standard. Should there not be a fine handed down for him doing this to a fan?

If TO can get fined for sleeping in the end zone Vick had better get fined for this total lack of composure.

Most certainly - and another thing for Arthur Blank to be pissed off at.

he won't be too pissed, Vick is the guy that puts arses in the seats which = bigtime $$$

Vick is the problem for the team but he is the solution for the greedy owner :laugh2:

Can someone upload it?

I've found that this site has been very resourceful when requests have been made. That said, I am sure some of our behind the scenes video experts are already putting something together.

some fans deserve it.

like the fans that decide to go ahead and throw things at a players mother (clinton portis). It goes hand in hand, sometimes the fans need to be put into their place.

Could not be CBS...it was an NFC game.

Vick is, and always has been a punk

I cant ever recall a player more coddled and overhyped in any sport since I began watching back in the 70's

not even McNabb, but more to the point of being coddled? and he's an angel compared to his lil bro

Blank could watch Vick burn downa row of homes and still blame someone else

he will NEVER relent in his support for the league's worst QB

Blank certainly did market the team when he bought it almost exclusively around Vick..even had MV leaving recorded voice messages to season ticket holders so when they got home from work, they could hear Vick himself shilling seats.

But Blank wants a winner, not just a wallet already outrageously fattened by Home Depot.

Yesterday there was a story out on his very obvious dismay - maintaining the current record is simply unacceptable.... and post game today I just heard he made some noise about receivers who can't hold onto the ball.

Vick is his baby-boy, but he won't be for long if he not only loses, but acts classless while doing it.

Its a lot easier to catch a ball when the ball is remotely close to where the route runner needs it to be.
The drops I saw were because the WRs had to adjust so much to try to catch the ball. Sure they should've caught it, but I'd be a little frustrated too if the ball is NEVER where it needs to be.

I just tend to doubt, until I see it, that Atl will get rid of Vick. He's such a great marketing tool even if he sucks. And I'm not sure he'd command all that much on the open market if they try to trade him because everyone has fully seen his blatant flaws. At least I don't see another coach or team that would want him but I could see another owner wanting him for $$$ purposes.
Shaub may get a start this year....esp with all the QB changes this year across the league and everyone seeing what Romo has done for us.

I wonder how long this thread stays on the Cowboy forum.

Happens all the time. Particularly the curse words coming out players mouths. Most are too smart to flip the bird because cameras can easily catch that. Going to NFL games a couple times a year, rarely is the player the first one to use profanity in a player-fan exchange.
