Vick granted release from Kansas prison

[fanfromvirginia]

Oh. Don't mistake my posts for me being on his side. I'm more interested in the forgiveness of an error and the ability to get on with your life. I think he did something unfathomable and should have been punished for it. He was punished and here we are on the tail end of said punishment. I really have no stake in this at all. I don't particularly care for Vick and hope he never ends up wearing our beloved star.

I have dogs and, as I stated before, I would probably end up in jail if I caught him trying to do anything to my dogs. That's neither here nor there though. The guy will be back in the NFL. Just an observation from the periphery...

That's cool. I agree he'll be back. I just don't think it'll be this year. I think a lot of people will soften up if he's suspended for a year and a lot of people will be very angry if he isn't. Goodell can buy a lot of good will and name brand protection and stave off an absolute ****storm by announcing the suspension, waiting a year and then giving the forgiveness/reinstatement speech. He gains very little by letting him in this year.

This kind of crap is exactly why I didn't care to answer.

I'm just messing with you Hos. Poking fun... But I understand some don't care to be poked. Sorry.

All good points. Goodell might surprise everyone.

I know you are. That doesn't matter to me. I just don't care to get into a discussion about Vick because I'll say something to get myself in trouble on the site. About him, I'm not really into joking. He isn't funny to me. I posted that to show my disgust, because I consider him a worthless piece of crap. I did not post it to invite jokes.

I wish i had your willpower. It is sad how people will actually come to the defense of a person like Vick. I dont want to hear about how he did his time. I dont care. He doesnt deserve to have people defend him. No matter what anyone says about rehabilitation a grown man who does what he did is a piece of human garbage. He should be treated the way he treated those dogs. They are gods creatures as much as we are. We were given the gift of reasoning and advanced intelligence. It is our responsibility to do the right think. To show some sympathy and compassion for people and creatures that have not been given the same gifts we have been given. Not to take their loyalty and love for humans and use that against them in a vicious blood spot that does nothing more than provide amusement for you.

What kind of person really does what Mike Vick did? It is scary and sad that people actually could be that evil.

If he was not caught would he have stopped? Would he suddenly feel remorse? Does he feel remorse now? Or is he only remorseful that he was caught and lost money and some freedom from it?

In any case playing in the NFL is not a right. He should not be picked up by any team ever. Its hard to make a living these days. He shouldnt be allowed to take the fans money. Players salaries are paid by national TV contracts. That comes from us. He doesnt deserve that anymore.

What did Dorothy say to Toto?


I don't think we are in Kansas anymore. :laugh2:

I'm with yew, Hos. But our disgust should be equally distributed among the miscreants. Are dog killers more heinous than spousal abusal? Or maiming or killing of humans?

Let's ALL show equal disgust for the lowlives and worthless pieces of crap, whether it inolves animal abuse or human abuse.

One reason why I dissed the idea of bringing Abram Elam back and am sad we may part ways with Roy Williams.

Well, Roy was a good man. But he got careless.
And, correct me if I am wrong, but though Elam's three siblings were shot at one time or other, Elam was only a bystander, right?

Jerra, delivers us from yew.

Elam was involved in an alleged rape.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Elam was involved in an alleged rape.

Dang.
He doesn't sound like he's Cowboys material.
But he played here in 2006, yes?

 

[Zaxor]

While I absolutely detest what happened...in accordance with the laws of this land he has paid his debt to society...now having said that I still wouldn't want him on my team and I bet most if not all teams feel that way so suspending him would be overkill anyway

 

[Sarge]

Yep - he served his time but in my mind, that doesn't "unmake" him a loser.

 

[silverbear]

I am sorry the commish should just put that up as time severed already.

He has done his time; now if he does something stupid between now and the season tack some more games on.

I also have no desire for Ron Mexico to be any Dallas either. I am just saying the guy has missed basically a year and a half of football already.

Getting convicted of a felony will do that to ya... but Goodell can, and should, impose further penalties, in the form of a league suspension...

 

[silverbear]

Echo this. Suspend him for 1 year.

Yup...

 

[silverbear]

Congrats to Vick, Glad to see him out!

Of course you are, you seem to love the thugs... maybe you can let him stay with you, while he gets back on his feet...

 

[silverbear]

Why?

Why are you glad to see him out? What does he do for you? Why are you glad to see a convicted felon be free to make millions of dollars he does not deserve? What do you get out of this?

JVita doesn't see anything wrong with dogfighting...

 

[silverbear]

It's been debated to death but after reading this I know how Parcells felt in your avatar pic. :laugh2:

I'd say his sig pic is more revealing... seems JVita is a thug wannabe, and just idolizes those sociopaths like Vick and PacMan...

I guess it's true, what they say about birds of a feather...

 

[silverbear]

Anyway Im happy for Vick, ready to see him back in the NFL!

Except he's not "back in the NFL"... he's not even out of jail, yet...

They call what you're doing "premature celebration"... some say it's a close cousin to another syndrome that starts with "premature"...

 

[silverbear]

I do not want him at all but no need for any real additional suspension.

Whatever team signs him will have to know this year is a wash anyways.

I can see the Commish suspending him 4 games but an entire season is way overkill imho.

Frankly, I think that getting convicted of a felony should bar you from ever playing in the NFL again... or MLB... or the NBA...

Nobody has a God-given right to earn millions of dollars for playing a sport, that's a PRIVILEGE...
