Can’t we get more than a 7th round pick for him. Dallas would probably part with a 2nd or 3rd round pick. He has to have some value. He is still fairly young and now he is humbled. I’d hate to see him turn his career around and the Falcons have to play him with our season on the line.

I suspect that he still doesn’t get it.

I think that from the moment he realized he was in trouble, he has devoted his entire attention to finding ways to minimize the harm it could do him. I think his every act has been calculated, and not very intelligently, either.

I do not believe he has yet demonstrated any true remorse.

And I think that is why he will be blindsided by the reception he gets from fans. He’s still trying to find ways to beat “the man” when it’s not “the man” who matters. You can’t work an angle with the fans. They want to see something genuine.

I sometimes wonder if this gifted man is capable of being selfless or mature.

We shall see what effect a shunning has on his outlook. It’s a rare person who cares less about how others perceive him. Maybe he’ll change?

I believe Michael Vick will turn his life around and I hope that he is given the opportunity to do so. Roger Goodell needs to calm down with the “I don’t like to be lied to sermon”. This is not the first time he has been lied too. Someone closer to him him than Michael Vick is probably lying to he as I post this. PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) have had their 15 minutes of fame off of Michael Vick, find you a new villian to ride and let this man move on with his life.

Scottbravefan,

Your post infuriated me when I first read it, then I looked at your name, “Scottbravefan”. That right there let me know what an idiot you really are. First stop portraying yourself as being Black because you are not. No one is idolizing Michael Vick, but some people believe in second chances. If do not like Michael Vick and that’s certainly your right, then do so. But you can keep all of the racist overtones, because you, along with me, know nothing about this mans upbringing/family life. You are the typical keyboard racist, whom enjoys spitting these vial words in cyberspace, but if you were standing in Vick’s face you would have lockjaw. By the way, you are probably one of those braves fans that think Bobby Cox is the best thing since sliced bread. The Braves will never be contenders again until they get rid of Cox. The game has long past him by.

Michael Vick is a comodity to the NFL, and they will try to profit from his return. MLB did it with the HR derby, the NBA with it’s thug of the week tatoo club, and the NFL will look at it from a business perspective. The AJC keeps this going because it sells papers and people are driven by this article. MV welcome back to the league, just like MT did in boxing.

Is there an eye-rolling emoticon?

Vick’s supposed “failure” as an NFL quarterback — only he would be characterized as a failure after winning nearly 60% of his games and making three Pro Bowls — were entirely related to coaching. All the moves the Falcons made to make Matt Ryan’s transition from college to the pros easier — spending a first round pick on an offensive tackle, acquiring a short-yardage running back, instituting a scheme that allows him to build rhythm and timing with his receivers — are the moves they failed to make for Vick. The Falcons were a one-man team by design when Vick was the QB here. Hopefully whatever team he goes to doesn’t make the same mistake.

As far as the animal-lover protesters… I think you’ll be surprised how many of them fade off into oblivion after Vick’s first highlight-reel TD.

His biggest obstacle, by far, is whether or not Roger Goodell chooses to reinstate him.

The guy has suffered far more than anyone should in the United States of America for killing animals. Count me among the ones hoping he succeeds in his return to football.

I have no “should” in this fight. I am the president of a large county Humane Society (I don’t – let’s be clear- speak for it in this instance).

Here are my thoughts: Michael Vick has every legal right to play professional football once the Commissioner of the NFL lifts its suspension. Michael Vick has every legal right to play football. Each and every owner of an NFL club (with due allowance for existing rights) has the right to seek to employ the services of Michael Vick. EVERY sports fan, and every other citizen has the right to protest the employment of this man in any capacity.

It is not “should he be hired by any team?” – the answer to which is “They have everly a right to!”). It is not how should the public react?- the answer is: they have a right to how they damn well feel!).

Of course, if the question is does he have a right to play professional football, the obvious answer is “yes, when the league suspension ends”.

So, should the league suspension end? I say yes, but only because I have no objective way of determining when he has paid the “full” price. He paid the price the law required, and commissioner has a “vague” criterion that amounts to ‘when I think he is sorry enough’! I don’t like like this at all.

I personally think that Michael Vick’s conduct should disqualify him for life. What I don’t like is the “sackcloth and ashes” approach of the NFL. (Those of you with backgrounds in history will understand that the consequence (ok, perhaps self-imposed) for King Henry’s assasination of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas a’ Becket, was that the king must kneell for four days seeking forgiveness. (History buffs, note, this was the short versions!)

I would not require Michael Vick to spend four days on his knees, in sackcloth. I would only recommend it, and then I would be done with it!

It is precisely because dogs are helpless domesticated animals that Vick’s reputation is in tatters. Even if he had not spent a single day in jail, most people saw the cruelty of what he did and were shocked. It’s easy to take advantage of the helpless. Most violence is pepetrated in this way particularly I would say humans against humans. Our capacity to be cruel and vicious is well documented. We humans are God’s creatures and we are meant to be their caretakers (wild animals and the fishes of the sea fall into this category too now because of human action) and many see Vick’s abuse of animals as heartless and disturbing. We are called to something higher I believe. Now Vick is called more than most. I think he has a chance to redeem himself and he can do it with some public and from the heart amends with regard to domesticated animals. He needs to make some tangible amends and over a long period of time. I hate what he did and I hope he will realize he has a chance to achieve some real good with his soon to be long hard path back to society. Godspeed with hope!

It is now almost impossible for me to find a lucrative job in a field I am very good at. I am an excellent millwright/industrial mechanic and I am being denied employment because of this felony.

I think Vick deserves a chance…one chance…to play in the NFL again. I believe the protesters will fade only after he shows true remorse. A news conference and a apology is not enough. He will need to donate a portion of his salary to promote animal welfare. Also, saying the right things about the egregiousness of his behavior will be necessary. Finally, volunteering at an animal shelter would help as well. There are other ways to show remorse…but these would, I think, demonstrate it well.

As for the Falcons getting a draft pick for him, if he pledged a percentage of his salary and started volunteering before signing with a team, the protests may be minimal and perhaps his value would increase.

Frankly, I think the Falcons have put themselves at a disadvantage by saying they would definitely release him. Why should teams give anything knowing we are going to cut him loose? They are too afraid of what Vick will bring in bad PR. They’ll wait until signing him will cost them as little as possible. If the Falcons invite him to camp, however, the teams that secretly want him might get anxious, especially if the circus atmosphere is minimized.

No creature deserves to be tortured, neglected, or abused. The callousness you show in talking about dogs is one reason PETA exists. I have lived with dogs and cats all my life. They function on the same level as small children. They have emotions and are deeply connected to loving, caring humans. You show your ignorance of dogs when you talk the way you did.

Vick should get a chance. I would even give him one with the Falcons (though not as a QB). It is wrong for anyone, including PETA, to continue to persecute him after he paid his debt to society. However, don’t comment on the lives of animals of which you don’t seem to have any understanding.

I never said the Falcons will invite Vick to camp. I think they made a mistake by telling everyone they would release him. They did that way too early. I would invite him to camp and if we had a problem, I’d then release him. That is the only way we’ll get anything for him.

Ryanrealist;

I never equated a dog or cat with a child. I said: “They function on the same level as small children. They have emotions and are deeply connected to loving, caring humans.” I never said they have the same rights or are viewed in the same as a child.

You make me sick. It is people like you who fail to see animals as more than throw away posessions that allow dogfighting and other abuses of creation to occur. If people like you were just a tiny bit more sensitive to others, then you wouldn’t be talking about PETA and the HSUS at all. They wouldn’t exist. Just because you can’t understand what I’m talking about doesn’t mean the issue is not real. People didn’t understand racism or sexism at one time either.

Mike Vick will, I hope, get a chance. That is more than he gave the dogs he allowed to be tortured and fought. I guess that proves your point, though. And it proves mine.

As for the “charges”…that was never anyone’s problem with Vick. Where have you been?

Mike Vick was wrong in what he did and has paid the price. Everyone has moved on since then. The point is that he should be allowed to earn a living (whether in the NFL or somewhere else).

1) In the eyes of the NFL, Michael Vick’s greatest sin was lying. Nearly 50 players on rosters were charged with everything from manslaughter (Grant, Charles; Stallworth, Dante) to assault or battery (Johnson, Larry; Boley, Michael, among others) or drug possession, DUI, etc (see Tunnel, Carpal — if I type all the names) in the last 12 calendar months.

2) The character of some — not all — of Michael Vick’s critics (mainly mayonnaise sandwich eating bambi blasters) in these forums is probably not much worse than some of the guys behind bars. The folks in jail have been convicted of crimes but at least they’re not holier than thou types (you know who you are), always wanting to cast the 1st-2nd-3rd-4th-5th stone.

Ppl forget Vick NEVER HAD ANY RECIEVERS! White SUCKED while Vick was here, Jenkins made his 1st real strides last year & Alge was his ONLY relaible target, until Vick’s last year when he really went down heel, which is why he wasn’t resigned the year after! The falcons were in the top 5 in the league in drops 2 of his lat 3 years as QB, so when ppl look at his completion percentage that should be factored in as well, as well as the fact that White & Jenkins got NO seperating their 1st few years & as stated about when they did, it was a toss up as to if they were gonna catch the ball. Robiski wasn’t here yet & he’s done wonders with both guys. All that is to say, Vick was a much better QB, not just runner, than ppl give him credit for, now with that said, he was still to inaccurate & needs to really focus on that aspect & reading Defenses better in his return attempt, but hell, 90 % of the Qb’s in the leauge have those same things that they need 2 focus on. Poiint blank, Vick is a STARTING QB in this league & hopefully someone will stick their neck out & allow him to reward them for it. This Vick is gonna be a student of the game & apply himself like never b4, which is unfortunate that it took this, but it’s a reality & a necessity now, watch & see! I hope he goes to S.F.

Yes what mike did was wrong but, he is still paying for a crime when Leonard Little (killed a person while DUI), Adam “Pac Man” Jones (a security chief is paralyzed from the waist down after taking a bullet because of Pac Man tried to “make it rain” in a strip club), and Ray Lewis (and two other men) was involved in a dispute at a night club in Buckhead that left two men dead. Those players are still playing (Pac Man won’t for long if he doesn’t straighten up) but, their offenses are forgiven while Vick continues to be used as a poster child of what’s wrong with sports today.i hope and pray that mike will use his second chance wisely (if he doesn’t THEN he deserves your scorn).

Mike Vick has done his time. Therefore he’s even with the house. If I had one wish. It would be for him to get with a team, that has to play the Falcons. I then would wish for him to have the best game of his career. With Mr.Schultz in attendance of course. He killed some dogs. If any of you are really care that much about dog fighting. Google Floyd Boudreaux. He has been and still is. A major contributor to many local and national political campaigns. But then again. Floyd Boudreaux is a old white guy. Hell he can do whatever he wants to do.

On VS2, you can best believe the rapib heartbeating you hear is the haters who know realize the fallacy in their quest to try and keep Vick down….he’s not even 30 yet and OUT. So they realize the worst possible scenario has happened….A GREAT COME BACK. That will pierce them more than if he had been given the TOOLS to succeed before. Now they have to bear witness to him coming back and watching their little Todd’s and Noel’s ask for the new #7 jersey and once again watch him become the NFL’s prime highlight reel. They created a martyr. LOL…haters always do.

Anyone who would organize and then enjoy a dog-fighting operation is so narcissistic and sociopathic that it’s almost certainly true that recovery, whatever that would mean, is impossible. That person is not going to suddenly realize that the Universe was not created around him. That person is going to use his main skill, manipulation of everyone in sight, to get what he wants. That person is going to be THAT person for the rest of his life. A crime this repugnant should get a lifetime ban from the NFL. Lacking that, I literally cannot wait to see the sh*tstorm that is about to beset MV7’s vacuum empty head and coal black heart. Let the flogging begin – and consider what sort of diseased enterprise is modern pro sports. We should not be having this conversation.

I’m in Atlanta now, but I used to live and work in Newport News, VA in 2006 where I volunteered at the local humane society. I’ve seen those fight dogs victims come into the shelters. These sweet mixed breed pit bulls were terrified and trembling with their faces and bodies all cut up and scarred.

Sadly these dogs had to be put down despite the fact that they were very docile as any dog given the tag of “fight dog” could not be adopted.

My eyes tear up as I remember how horrible that situation was. Until you have seen it first hand, you really cant comprehend what a horror the whole thing is.

Vick is a monster. He may have served some prison time but he’s nothing but a cold blooded killer.

Do you want your children to admire someone like that ? Vick needs to go away forever.

The Michael Vick saga has many facets riveting to both sides. Even prior to his conviction, he was controversial, vilified or adored, and a box office draw regardless. And, it is the latter that may ultimately play a role in the NFL and Roger Goodell’s decision on reinstatement, because when the chips are down, it’s all about money, and the NFL has a steady history of hypocrisy. They will rapidly ban those that dare gamble, such as Art Schlicter, Alex Karras, and Paul Hornung “to protect the integrity of the game”, but anything else is totally acceptable, murder, drugs, drugs, drugs, (did I mention drugs?), rape, robbery, as long as the perpetrators generate revenue. The NFL, like the other professional and college sports, simply has no moral compass, and as such they are far more despicable than the corporate America that is being bashed by the media and current government as being “greedy”. At least most of corporate America still rapidly addresses grievous and illegal transgressions by dismissal, but not the sports entities. Talk about runaway priorities.

I’d like to send out a big THANK-YOU to the former Falcon’s season ticket holder for giving up his seats. After Arthur Blank hired Thomas Dimitroff, I decided the time was right to buy tickets.

Personally, I KNOW teams will want Vick, if only for the same reason that Buffalo wanted TO. The NFL is a BUSINESS and Vick, like TO will fill seats, sell jerseys, and generate hype. It doesn’t matter if TO or Vick aren’t clubhouse guys or if they bring a media circus with them. They will be wanted as long as they generate cash flow. And I am over people crucifying Vick over this. The man broke the law, did his time, and now just wants to go back to work, is that so bad? And what about Dante Stallworth, didn’t he get drunk and KILL somebody with his car? Where are the MADD picket lines for him? Where is the racial criticism of him?

I believe in the power of redemption. I hope and pray that MV has learned lessons from his mistakes and can finally realize his potential as a human being. I will be pulling for him to succeed as a human being. Football is secondary to that. Whether he is ever able to effectively participate in a professional sports again is fully dependent on his growth as a person.

When this unfolded I, as a white man, was channel surfing when I came upon Tavis Smiley’s show and actually watched it since he was talking about the Vick issue.

Tavis said something that is just plain obvious for all to see. There is a big cultural divide between blacks and whites and their perceptions as to how a dog should be treated.

Whites shower their dogs, let them sleep in bed with them, pamper them as if they’re children. Go into a petsmart and you will see a lot of white people taking their dog around looking at what treats or toys to buy them. You don’t see any black people in petsmart pampering their dogs.

Blacks tend to treat dogs as if they’re not much more than say a chicken. Its just another animal to most black people. In my job I’ve been to hundreds of black and white homes in middle class and working class neighborhoods. In the black neighborhoods you see many dogs just chained up to 6 or 10 foot chains, dirty and ragged, basically just neglected.

Generally speaking, black people view dogs differently and just don’t take care of their animals like white people do. I’m sorry if that sounds racist but its just a fact of life. I’ve seen it, Tavis Smiley confirms it, and just general observation confirms it. Still don’t believe me? Turn on that animal channel 61 and watch the episodes on animal cops. 90% of the time they are investigating abused or neglected animals its in black neighborhoods and in virtually every dogfighting case its in black neighborhoods. And while there are certainly black people who humanely care for their beasts as a general rule blacks simply view animals differently and do no care for them in the same way white people do. I’m sorry if it sounds racist but it is what it is.

I do watch how people treat animals. They bible says something to the effect that you can judge a man’s character and kindness by how he treats and manages his beasts. I tend to agree. Since animals can’t communicate, can’t fight back, and are largely subject to the whims of their human master you can make a good judgement as to a person’s character by looking at how he or she treats his animals. Do they treat them in a caring, humane manner. Or do they ignore, neglect, and otherwise abuse the animal? Just something to think about.

This continues to be one of the most ridiculous debates on record, be it Michael Vick or anyone else.

I don’t even know why they bother to let people out of jail, because no matter what time is spent there, what apologies are made, or life changes that the individual will “attempt” to make upon release – people still tend to want that EXTRA pound of flesh from the felon. He has served his time for the crime committed. Whether you like him or not, he has followed through with the punishment handed to him by the courts.

“There but for the Grace of God go I…”.

When someone pays the penalty for their crime, what is the issue? When a person is released from prison, are they not allowed to have a career regardless of the profession? To make the attempt at re-building their lives without a crowd yelling “Stone him!” every waking moment?

It is this constant hypocrisy in our culture that justifiably sends those who commit crimes to jail/prison, and upon release, continue to denigrate the individual for the rest of their lives. While at the same time patting ourselves on the back, wrapping ourselves in the american flag and espousing our “Christian” values as we brand the scarlet letter on whomever is the despised individual of the moment.

I don’t care of MV succeeds or fails in whatever attempts he makes to resurrect his NFL career. But he at least should be allowed to live his life pursuing those goals without the mob treating him as if he was Jeffrey Dahmer.

Back to football: Seems to me that since Vick left the game, the “Wildcat” formation has taken off in popularity and is so popular now that teams are even drooling over the idea of Tim Tebow running it in the NFL…hmmm…isn’t this basically an aspect of the offense the Falcons successfully ran with Vick at quarterback?

Funny, how several teams love the idea of having a running back come in and execute this offense. Makes perfect sense to me for a team to sign MV to run this offense, be a slot receiver, situational back (3rd and long receiver or running back) and back-up QB.

In terms of MV and his future, therefore, IF a team takes a chance on him (big if), then all he has to do is say to the media whenever he is asked about his involvement with dogfighting is that “I committed a crime, I lied about which was also wrong but I did admit to it, I went to jail and I paid my debt to society and now I am trying to put my life back together and I have nothing more to say about it.” By saying this repeatedly AND staying out of trouble (big And), attention will turn to his football and eventually people will start asking why is it that the protesters keep after this guy who is simply trying to turn his life around.

Let me just say that like it or not the Vick story is still news worthy as evidenced by the large number of posts to this article. Vick still brings out a lot of emotions in people on both sides. I as an African American am not “Vick Worshiper” as a lot of African Americans are perceived. Nor am I a hater of Vick. I believe if The NFL allows Vick back into the league and some team wants to sign him I am ok with it. If the league suspended him for life I am ok with that as well. The bottom line is Vick is in a predicament of his own making. My opinion of him as a QB is that he is more of a pure athlete than a QB. He doesn’t read defenses well; he doesn’t hit Receivers coming out of their break, and he doesn’t put in the extra time necessary to become better. These were things I was saying about him before the dog fighting incident. I am sorry the Falcons had to go through the embarrassment Vick broad upon them and the city of Atlanta, but had we not gone through it we would not have Matt Ryan as our QB. This kid in my opinion is the real deal. I believe Ryan is about a year away from leading this team to a Super Bowl. The defense has to improve and the offensive line has to hold up, but I believe Ryan, when his career is done, will have multiple super bowl titles under his belt. As far as Vick is concerned, I believe he will be back in the NFL this year or next. I don’t believe Vick will be the superstar his supporters are hoping for. A career 50% passer doesn’t get better by taking two or three years off. Once the novelty of his return has worn off, I believe Vick will be released and out of the league within two or three years.

Michael Vick has done his time, and deserves another chance to prove his mettle. If he can succeed in the coming years, despite the whirlwind of controversy, more power to him. I wish him well.

My issue with Vick is his performance as an NFL QB. Definitely not a leader and never did he develop beyond 2002-3. Besides flipping off the home crowd, he also admitted to “giving up” during the tail end of 2005. I can’t speak to his intelligence, but he is definitely lacking in the intagibles of leadership, integrity and accountability. His athletic performance stats are meaningless when it forms the core for a team lacking in leadership.

Why AJC? Why didn’t you print the story about the crazy woman who was put on federal probation for the letter she sent to Vick’s lawyer that threatened his HUMAN CHILDREN. Why is the AJC so biased in its reporting? Why are you so protective of groups the FBI calls domestic terrorists?

To be sure Michael Vick has paid his debt and some but the media outcry was worse than the public out cry. I am a pet owner and while I cannot condone animal cruelty this “human cruelty” or “hachet job ” that you guys have done to him hurts far worse. We have. My concern is, where are the independent minded thinkers in the media- either print or visual. Either you handle Vick in an “even handed way” that is obviously tilted to his demise or you just villify him and even minimize his accomplishments pontificating about his “accuracy” or some sordid idea about his leadership. I am sure that you could trot out many other “better” quarterbacks but very few of them have led their teams to the NFL Championship game. What are you guys afraid of – getting you credentials yanked. Vick represents a new model for the quarterback position. I’m not crowning Vick a saint but seemingly the media to a man (or woman) has taken a side versus just reporting the saga minus the “hate Vick” spin. This issue has divided Atlanta and all of the hoopla of the new guy at quarterback whose opening contract (one deserved by a proven veteran)reeks with a dark irony. I have lived in Atlanta and other parts of GA and the fans that I talk to will not come to see the Falcons because of the handling of the Vick issue. I have been a Falcon fan since 1972. I see how quickly the team is getting help for the new guy but Vick had to run for his life for years. He did not have the same opportunity to show case his arm except in brief flashes. I will take the guy who lead us to one game from the Super Bowl than the new guy who has many more weapons who didn’t have to win the game but rather manage the game. Again I call for the independent talking heads who are not afraid to go the route of the salmon where there is spawned peace and life on the other side of the turbelence.

Can we actually get something for Vick in a trade or are we releasing him and taking the cap hit? I used to love watching Vick play and he has mad skills…but he treated dogs very poorly(and poorly I mean like a sociopath) so he must be jettisoned.

And I love the people that buy tickets and go to Falcon’s games to boo them, makes sure the game will sellout and be on TV.

WITH A THROWING ARM LIKE A FAIRY,
A PLAYOFF WIN HE COULD NEVER CARRY.
SINCE DRAFT DAY, I KNEW HE WAS A BUST;
CAN’T CARRY MV7 JOCK STRAP, EVEN WITH THE RUST.
BY THE TIME 2009 SEASON BEGINS,
THE FALCONS HOPES WILL AGAIN END.

“BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE ONE AND ONLY” — VICK SUPPORTER 2

Well, Mike Vick gets out of prison soon and may play football again.

Good for him.

What about all of my doggie buddies that he and his other thugs tortured, mutilated, and killed?

They don’t get a second chance, do they?

If a team signs Vick, I hope the public boycotts the team and divides the city they are in. Then another team will not take a chance on him.

But perhaps if he first had to get into a pit and fight a monstor vicious pitbull for his very life like my friends had to….

Lt. Frank has made a very reasonable point. Here are Vick’s career stats: 71 TDs, 52 INTs, 53.8% completions – that isn’t stellar. Add in also 36 fumbles his last 3 seasons and you don’t have a QB that you can say will elevate your team to another level.

Trade? Ain’t going to happen because Vick’s contract is still in effect, and NO team is going to take on that type of salary on a player that might be a situational or backup player.

Best thing for Vick is to get back to playing football (and if it’s in the NFL it will be another position), keep so clean that he doesn’t even step on a crack in the sidewalk, and repeatedly tell the black community that he was wrong, not that he was wronged.

After the 2004 season I was blinded by an 11 & 5 season and a trip to the NFC Championship game. The next season, 2005, this team took off at the front of the schedule and it looked as if the Falcons couldn’t be stopped. Suddenly the losses started during the second half of the season and by the season’s end we were out of the playoffs. The next season was the same thing. I got real angry because this man quit on his team then threw his coach under the bus. That made the second head coach, Reeves being the first, he went to the owner and blamed. The other things we started hearing about by that time meant nothing to me. The man has got so many issues I wonder if he’ll ever be able to not only play NFL football again but I wonder if he can ever make it in life. I know Tony Dungy has reached out and probably several more prominent personalities will do the same but the first thing he, Vick, has to do is look deep into his own fractured life and deal with it in more ways than Jesus and big personalities can offer. I wish him well even though I watched as he took a good football team and ripped it apart slowly but methodically with his fractured way of living. He’s got a lot further to go to change his life than a job offer from an NFL team.

What!!! – you are my new favorite poster. Funny stuff with the fumbles….and with 36 of them in 2004, 2005, and 2006, it’s true.

Journalismisdead – the only reason Michael Vick was a 3 time probowler is because of his popularity and maybe because people wanted to see Vick run around like crazy on every play. Bottom line is that he got away with being a NFL QB on his athleticism, not is quarterbacking skills.

Vick Supporter 2 – if you truly think Matt Ryan is Ryan Leaf reincarnated, I’m afraid you are too far from reality to even claim some knowledge of the game of football or evaluating a football player’s talent. Matt Ryan in one season accomplished more than Ryan Leaf did in his career – actually surpassing Leaf’s career TDs in one season. Also, he completed more that 61% of his passes, where leaf didn’t make it past 50% at any time @ San Diego! Good Grief!

Idiot “what” – actually pretty appropriate….anyway..what did Brooking do for the Falcons? What did Dez White and Woody Danzler do for the Falcons? I’ll tell you what Mike Vick did…he had the NFL still scheduling 3 national games after a 7-9 season. He had the NFL STILL putting the Falcons on Thanksgiving night against the Colts in the Georgia Dome (and it killed the ratings since he wasn’t there)…now here you have the NFL’s Coach of the Year, GM of the Year and Rookie of the Year…and all you got was the normal 2 national games that every team that at LEAST makes the playoffs get…Heck, the Cowboys and the Bears got better coverage than that and they didn’t play past week 17! You have Arthur Blank whining that he lost money and what’s this I hear? Buck Klancade whining that the Falcons lost all this advertising money! LOL For 6 seasons in a row, the total budget from the Falcons marketing office on ticket sales was 0, ZIP, ZERO – NOTHING! Didn’t have to spend a dime because NO NEED, but now I bet everybody here has seen those “the hunt is on!!” commercials at least 50 times and 5 times a day on every local station. HA! GOOD! Let Blank continue to PAY to build his precious team and hopefully you supporters of all things Falcons will do more than just bash Vick, you’ll spend some of your money proving how very much you care about your team! Its May 18th Mr. Blank! Do you know where your season ticket holders are?

Here’s something interesting: IF a team signs him, Peter King with Sports Illustrated (who I rarely agree with) is in favor of MV being reinstated after also serving a four game suspension specifically for repeatedly lying to Blank and Goodell. Makes sense to me.

I remember a big monday night game in New Orleans that Vickie lead to a total butt whooping. Remember, we saw alot of those game with Vickie at QB.

Ted Striker – Most insightful! I never thought about the role the lawyers had in whether or not Vick fought the charges, or just plead guilty and take what came of it. The only problem with that argument would be that a public defendant would have seen the same stars in their eyes as a fancy high dollar one, and might have tried the same techniques.

Don’t get me wrong here – I find Vick’s actions (the lying and deceit as much as the dogfighting and racketeering) the evil here that should be punished. As a man, Vick can make choices that bring good to his life and to others as well. I wish him the grace to take the path that he needs to take to be a positive influence and a model citizen.

Before the crimes were revealed, 98% of Falcon fans were certainly proud and excited to have Vick as their QB. Things have changed since. Now we are proud and excited to have Matt Ryan. Good Luck Michael – do the right thing.

This comment is for scottbravesfan,

DON’T EVER SAY that Vick makes black people look bad, are YOU CRAZY? One man does not define an entire race!!! Rush Limbaugh and George Bush don’t define whites! Mike Vick made Mike Vick look bad, not his mother, his school, The Falcons, no one else but himself. Nobody had to do the time but him, no one lost endorsements but him. The Falcons lost some money, but hell as much as they SCREW OVER the players in the NFL, they got that back already!! You do not have to forgive him for what he did, and that is on you, I just hope whatever secrets and dirt you hold, someone forgave you for them.But do not get on people with Christian faith, ain’t that what the Bible teaches us, to forgive? Look, actually I do not care about dogs like that, so I do not feel for them, (sorry) but I do not have dogs and I do not think people should fight dogs (and I think he was really stupid for doing it), but I cannot condemn him for it. He apparently had the wrong environment around him, and that is all his fault. Let’s see how he does from this moment on before we label him a ‘THUG’.

Who the heck died and made them king? They have crossed the line with this type of stipulation. Keep up their persecution (assuming MV stays out of trouble) and they will make MV appear sympathetic in the eyes of the general public…

Jeff you created this blog knowing full well how racially divisive it would become. I truly feel sorry for anyone white or black who cannot debate an issue without reverting to uncivilized, uneducated and bigoted exchanges. Some of the thought processes that some of you display here makes it apparent to me that you are not angry at Michael Vick instead you are angry yourselves. Michael Vick, no matter how much he has screwed up, dedicated himself to being a football player and became so good at it that he was paid millions of dollars to do so and even though he has a lot of work to do going forward I have no doubt he will dedicate himself to coming back and once again making millions of dollars. Some of you in here have never dedicated yourselves to anything but a beer can, a cigarette, bigotry or a line of meth and you are jealous of Michael Vick and what he blew. Michael Vick has paid more of a debt for that crime than any of you could ever pay. I am not a Michael Vick fan but I’m not a racist either and while I love dogs, grew up around dogs and own one to this day…I would never want to sacrifice a human in exchange for a dog. Michael Vick has lost more than 99% of you will ever even own in your lifetimes and some of you probably wishes he were hung. Thats sad…but you know what he won’t be hung and he is going to be released and he will as a convicted felon earn more money than most of you will earn in your lifetimes. So get over Michael Vick.

To Jeff Schultz – Thank you for turning the AJC into a place where bigots can have a voice and remind the world of all of the racial tensions this world still has to offer. You are truly a credit to your craft and to me.

Najeeh great post man, VS and VS2 keep giving them …, To all those that say Roddy and the rest of the receivers did not get better until MV7 left, maybe they did not get better until the old coaching regime left. The old coaches sucked, watch how Seattle will be the laughing stock of football until they fire Mora Jr. and he take Gregg Knapp with him. Shultz says Vick ‘failure as a QB was due to his lack of intangibles”. You mean to tell me a QB with a winning record, 3 pro bowl appearances and lead his team to the NFC championship game with very little help on his side of the ball lacked intangibles. Look, Shultz if you don’t like MV7 so be it, we all know he will never be a Falcon again, so what, but don’t act as if you never watched a Falcon game while MV7 was the QB. Or maybe the hate in your eyes and heart would not let you see and recognize the truth. You also stated that the next team he plays for half the city will hate him, that is not true, we as Americans are forgiving people. If the man ask for forgiveness and shows that he is sincere, then most will forgive him, only those that want to hate him for other reasons will continue to hold his past deeds against him. The first season MV7 was out of football, White, Black, Hispanic and Asian fans showed support for him, but media types like yourself only showed the hatefull ones. You are deleting the racial comments, well why is the AJC reporting on MV7 if the Falcons are turning the page, the AJC wants to fan that racial fire then play crazy when it burns out of control. If MV7 returns to the NFL he will win many games, Randall Cunningham went 15-1 with the Vikes after being out of football, and Randall was aMV7 before there was an MV7 if you catch my drift. Why would a team trade for a QB when everyone knows that his team his release him. That would be crazy, PAYING FOR SOMETHING WHEN YOU CAN GET IT FREE. PETA does have a lot of influence, but why is it that dogfighting was a misdemeanor befor ethe Vick incident, his felony charges were trumped up to make him snitch and cop a plea. he refused to snitch so the judge socked it to him on those trumped up charges, same way Bill Campbell went to prison on bull. Great story VS2 about those dogs, if the government cared so much about dogs then dogfighting would have been a felony a long time ago. I know you people will never understand and race have nothing to do with this next statement, the things that Vick did to those dogs are apart of the dogfighting culture. It is heinous to you and I because we do not agree with or understand that culture, but there are many people in this country that do. It is humane to kill a dog that lost a dogfight. That dog is seriously injured, they kill the dog to stop the suffering. Many who train and fight their dogs love the dog, it is somewhat like the book Mice and Men. Kill it to stop the suffering.

And you people still think all this hate and bashing of Vick is about dogfighting? No it isn’t, that’s just the excuse they use to cover up what its REALLy about. Ask Ed Faron if they care.

Published: February 16, 2009

WILKESBORO, NC

A Superior Court judge this morning ordered that 127 pit bulls seized in a raid of a breeder of fighting dogs should be euthanized.

Judge Ed Wilson entered the order after hearing arguments from Wilkes County officials, from the prosecutor and from The Humane Society of the U.S. that the dogs are dangerous and would pose a risk if adopted into homes.

A number of animal lovers and animal advocacy groups have offered to adopt the dogs.

The dogs were seized Dec. 10, 2008, during a raid on Wildside Kennels in Wilkes County.

When Wildside Kennels owner Ed Faron failed to pay the county for the dogs’ care after they were seized, a judge awarded ownership of the dogs to the county.

Faron, 61, pleaded guilty last week of 14 counts of felony dog fighting and was sentenced to 8 to 10 months in prison. His adopted son, Donni Juan Casanova, 18, pleaded guilty to one count of felony dog fighting and was given a suspended sentence of 6 to 8 months.

Amanda Grace Lunsford, 25, the third and final defendant in the case, pleaded guilty this morning to a misdemeanor count of cruelty to animals. She is Casanova’s fiancé and had been living at the house less than a month at the time of the raid, her attorney said, and her role was simply to feed and water the dogs.

Lunsford was sentenced to 45 days, which was suspended for 24 months of supervised probation.

Yes he screwed up. Yes he paid for the crime. Now let him earn a living playing ball if he can. Enough with the judging and whinning. I was raised in the Southeast and killing a dog was not thought of being the same as killing a human. You animal rights people need to go under a dark bridge in one of the nations larger communities and find out what real animal abuse really is. Thousands of human beings suffering without hope and you animal rights people feed your mutt more than these people eat.

surfdawg, I never said that he didn’t. I believe everything was laid out perfect for him….his own offense…minimal expectations due to the state of the franchise at the time. You have to admit, no one really expected this from Ryan..admit it man. When Vick came here, expectations were out of this world, and he met them as Ryan did. Vick was a one man team, and it was proven when he got in trouble. You mean to tell me that managment didn’t make NUMEROUS mistakes with personell decisions? I’m not saying that Vick was the perfect QB, but you can’t say that he didn’t play hard for this city and made the Falcons relevant. Just be honest for once. I give Ryan his props, and I stand by my statement that his arm was “tired”. You watched the games. Another thing…you must not know about players that play with a chip on their shoulder and have something, and #7 had EVERYTHING to prove. I’ve always said that that 130 million contract was a curse. He flat out wasn’t TOTALLY mature enough to handle that, even I will admit that. But he did play well for what he had to work with. i see people always say that Roddy got better when Vick left, which isn’t true. Dude couldn’t catch a cold and he admitted that he didn’t know how to prepare as an NFL WR, which is very common for young WRs. It usually takes the 3-4 seasons, which is what has happened with Roddy. And yes, “Ice”,lol, did do a good job last year. Why don’t you show a little humility yourself.

You can talk about the dogfighting CONSPIRACY charges all you want… The fact of the matter was that he wasnt convicted of killing dogs if you want to simply state facts….He admitted to the other stuff as part of a plea deal, hell he could have gotten better legal advice from the local public defender..lol

I would just ask to keep this whole conversation away from race and more about a confused young man who has done his time and needs to have his second chance to live his life and take advantage of his god given abilities… And to all the over the top animal lovers who protest and yet hunt deer take a serious look in the mirror

I would like to see Jeff Schultz answer these questions previously asked:

* “Why didn’t the AJC do an expose on the Humane Society of the US and their fradulent campaigns to raise money that doesn’t go anywhere NEAR helping the poor critters they love to cry about on TV? Where was the AJC to point out the hypocrisy of those nuts PETA as they holler about Vick but was mute on Ed Faron’s conviction and sentence – as well as the killing of every ONE of the 100 dogs he owned for his dogfighting ring in NC. Why AJC? Why didn’t you print the story about the crazy woman who was put on federal probation for the letter she sent to Vick’s lawyer that threatened his HUMAN CHILDREN. Why is the AJC so biased in its reporting? Why are you so protective of groups the FBI calls domestic terrorists? Ask those scientists/researchers at UCLA if they think PETA is just a “animal rights” group,see what they say.”

JSS, you do understand that Jeff Schultz’s column is an editorial piece, not a documentary, right? He’s supposed to “opine.” And that includes discussing hearsay, innuendo, rumor, conjecture, and even speculation. Why not? It’s an offering of opinion. Furthermore, you act surprised by what you’re reading. If I’m reading Vatican Papers, I don’t scream the Heavens above, “This reeks of Catholicism!” Who could have guessed such things?

If Jeff Schultz aggravates you to this level, stop reading. I mean, on some level, you must know that you “enjoy” reading Schultz’s column. Or you wouldn’t do it anymore. And if your gripe against him is that he should be censored or fired or prevented from expressing himself, then that’s disappointing. ‘Cause last time I checked, the 1st Amendment is featured prominently in the “Bill of Rights.” To deny Schultz his say, is Unconstitutional. And it’s un-American. The correct thing to do, is ignore him, if he displeases you. And clearly, I think he does displease you.

surfdawg, you know nothing about football. I can’t stand the Falcons and I know more about them than you. It is a widely known fact that the Falcons implemented the Boston College plays for Matt Ryan. It is easier to make the other guys learn the college offense that your 72 million dollar QB already knows especially since you will install a new system anyway. I think the media should stop saying that Vick was convicted of dogfighting. That is like the police stopping a serial killer in a traffic stop, find dead bodies in the car and years later say he was given the death penalty for running a red light. The Dogfighting was a misdemeanor, it was the lesser crime. The felonies were trumped up charges, Interstate commerce and some other bull crap. PETA saw a way to to further their agenda and will not let it go. And people talk about the poor dogs, Pitbulls are vicious animals. Those dogs are good for only one thing and thats attacking something.

I would love to see some of the posters on here go after them with the same intensity that they went after Vick.

I live in a Loft and come in contact with responsible and irresponsible pet owners on a daily basis. I never see PETA or the Humane society come down on the latter. I guess it’s because they’re not famous enough to grab headlines.

Isnt this the same city that had a hockey player killed by the his teammate? Yes Dany Heatley never has faced the criticism that Mike Vick has and the family of Daniel Snynder actually forgave him. That family is a class act even though they could blame Heatley forever and ever after he was drinking and driving and ended up killing their son down in BuckHead. What MV did was inexcusable and he has paid a huge debt to society but lets give this man a 2nd chance just as we have with Dany Heatley.

I was watching Dr. Phil last nite here in Iraq and the mother of one of the victims in the crash that took the life of the rookie baseball player back in April was on the show saying how she was texting her daughter waiting for a response that never would come. In California last year over 1500 people lost their lives to DUI. I will always weigh a human life more than an animal, for that matter former VP Cheney shot a man in the back and Sarah Palin has pictures of her shooting a moose which is very much an animal like a dog is.

Would we be up in arms if Vick had slaughtered a pig, a cow, a chicken, a frog, a rabbit, etc….. THe answer is no and we as a society need to let this hatred of this man go because their is only one judge and until we realize it things like the killings all over the country, the 5 service members killed her by one of “our own”, will continue to happen and dominate the news versus good works like Dikembe Mutombo opening up 12 new hospitals in africa.

No one is perfect as I can attest to that but lets give this young man a chance to show contrition and do better in life now that he has seen the bottom. So many ex criminals are not given a fair shake and eventually revert back to what got them their in the 1st place. We then are all over saying they are monsters when if we went out to help them become produtive members again then they will be an asset and not a liability to our country. I understand that we cant save everyone but one child saved is worth a hundred hens (dont know where I heard that but it sounds philisophical).

In closing lets bad together as a nation as we have troops over here in Iraq, and Afhganistan that are missing their families, losing their families, some may not even see them again; but we are wasting efforts to criticize this man who by the standards set by our court system has paid the majority of it back minus the 3 years he will have of probation.

Vick was wrong, he paid his debt, let the young fellow along.I’m not a Vick fan wasn’t before and not now, but rest assure I will do my part to help the young man. I pledge to you Vick, I never worn another man name on my back, I will make sure everyone of my family members have a Vick jersey on their back were every you land. Roger Goddell a smart man, as long there is money to make off those young men that play the game of football, he will allow Vick back. One thing I know greed is always forgiving.

If someone is a “HATER” of you, could it possibly be because of how you elect to conduct yourself?

Could it possibly be there are “HATERS” of you because you are simply not a very nice human being?

Hmmm?

I typically find that most people have ZERO reasons to “Hate” me until I give them some by being a selfish, self-serving jerk with little or no consideration for others.

Now, go hate on THAT, you victimized-feeling Vick Lovers.

VS2, Who cares what the rest of the country thinks? Man, after being shot down on everything you said last year( wait till they play the bucs again, wait till the saints play them again, falcons will never make the playoffs, and to top it all Ryan will never be ROY. Everything you said would happen did not. i bet your bookie is still looking for you. Are you ever right or do you do it on purpose. Nobody can be that dumb.

There are so many, those who are in higher positions than Vick was, who are engaged in, was engaged in, participate in, did participate in, are linked to, were linked to, support, did support, either DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY to questionable activities. These may or may not be as evil as dogfighting, but they exist. The difference is that they have not been exposed. Many of those in higher positions are hiding behind others. This could have been the same with Vick. Who knows? Only Vick and them (God, of course). Why is it that we are so bent on not forgiving and moving on? Look at past presidents, no one is picketing at their doorsteps or gravesites. We must learn to be forgiving. We must teach this to our children so in the future their children will learn the better qualities that help us a society to progress. If a child is suspended from school, he is able to return. Why can’t Vick be given the opportunity to do what he does for a career? Why cant’t those who are respected for being animal rights activists remember that they are not perfect either and that he may be remorseful. He does have to live with it everyday. I am sure there are many who are for animal rights who smoke and that second hand smoke has affected someone, somewhere and ……Do you get the point?

By Big easy-Pitbulls are vicious animals. Those dogs are good for only one thing and thats attacking something.

ERRR..Wrong!! I have raised dogs all my life. I own 2 pits now and they don’t attack anything but their food bowls and yard toys. And I have never had an incedent where they have come close to harming another human or dog. So try again. It’s the way the owners treat them. So.. do you have pitbulls? Have you ever owned any pitbulls? If not then you have no idea what you are talking about. Stick to football. You’re good at that.

I’m back…..hello What!!! Sorry to see you’ve had to fend off the dogs (no pun intended) by yourself. If I see one more person compare Matt Ryan to Ryan Leaf I think I will go nuts. Again, Ryan surpassed Leaf’s career TDs in one season. Leaf was a basketcase, Ryan is an ambassador for the Falcons and the NFL.

I simply do not understand why Falcon fans (or so they say they are Falcon fans) would think that this team would be MORE successful with MV7 at QB. I truly believe, without prejudice or doubt, that 98% of MV7 supporters would rather see Vick at QB and win less games, than see Ryan at QB and win more games. That is so very sad, and I hate that it is true.

Hamad I’m with you. It’s so funny to read how some are trying their best to prove that Vick was a continual success with the Falcons. They keep saying FACTS……FACTS……FACTS!!!!! So I’ll try. Fact…Vick had some success with the Falcons. However, facts prove that it was but for a moment. Fact…Vick proved by his own playing that he did not have the talent or the will to be a true leader for this team. I mean, DANG, you would think 130 million would light some kind of leadership fire under his butt! Not with Vick! And fact, every NFL team who has a face of the franchise QB builds their team around that QB’s strength. Tried it with Vick just didn’t work. Not saying Vick is stupid or anything like that but his “COLLEGE OPTION” just didn’t last in the NFL. Good holy grief, a d-lineman would fart and Vick would take off running! That’s why the receivers didn’t have good numbers with Vick at QB! Boy MATT RYAN sure changed that!!

I love the way anyone who’s white who chooses to not support Vick after 45 second chances is a racist. I used to love MV the player. I was thrilled the day we drafted him. Michael Turner – awesome! Roddy White – maybe the best young WR in the NFL. Curtis Lofton – badass!!! Jamaal Anderson – BUST!!!!!! I want him gone. Ryan – love the guy. Brooking – thrilled he’s outta here. See, I like and dislike players of all races. But my opinion stems from their actions, not their skin color.

Vick supporters, please, choosing not to support a convicted felon being on my team does not make me a racist. But, ask yourselves, what does blindly supporting Vick over Matt Ryan make you? And I’ll say this, if Matt Ryan gets involved in the same type of illegal crap, my comments about him will be every bit as harsh. Vick was paid millions to not F up, and he F’ed up. It’s on him.

If he has, in fact, learned his lesson, he ABSOLUTELY deserves another chance to play. I just don’t want him here. And it has nothing to do with him being black.

What Michael Vick and his badnewz boys did was reprensible, cruel and cowardly to use just a few adjectives. I am from Virginia and I graduated from Virginia Tech. Dogfighting is not part of our culture. Throwing family pets into a pit with trained killers because it is fun to watch the helpless animals be ripped apart is not part of our culture. Michael Vick is a pathetic thug from the slums who is a great athlete but would not and never will have what it takes to be a franchise QB in the NFL or even a great man.

But, regardless of that, Michael Vick has served his time and is on work-release which is what happens to most first-time convicted felons. Michael Vick should also not be allowed to return to his former career. If I was convicted of a felony, I would not be allowed to return to my job or my career. I would be looking to get my $10/hour construction job and be working hard to increase my hourly wage by staying clean and working hard. That is the future that Michael Vick as a convicted felon deserves. He will not be allowed to vote, hold public office or hold a job for a private corporation such as the NFL.

That said, all of this is moot. Possibly the racists who call anybody who disagrees with them a hater have not considered the actual facts that Goodell has to deal with. The NFL has a lifetime ban in place for any player, coach or other personnel found to be guilty of gambling or associated with gambling in any form. The last that I knew, the purpose of raising dogs to fight in a pit is so that patrons can wager on the outcome.

So wager that and then head back on over to isupport7.com and bemoan #7’s fate.

Go Falcons.

Great comments Erik and What!!! The thing I’ve come to realize though is that no matter what happens to the Falcons or Matt Ryan – even if they win the Superbowl, there will be a large contingent of fans that will still believe that Vick would have done better. We’re wasting our time trying to argue otherwise……

It will never end. What I cannot understand is how Michael Vick was able to glean this level of support during an NFL career that wasn’t any more successful than Dante Culpepper’s, or Chris Chandler’s, or even Steve McNair’s.

Why wasn’t Warrick Dunn loved as much as Michael Vick? Here was a guy who who could truly call a ‘role model’ and he didn’t get the fanatical adoration that MV7 got.

I’m glad that my dog lives in VA. I’m glad that Michael Vick will be coming home. Maybe after he fails at his construction job, he can get a job at the car wash. Then my Rottweiller and I can take the ‘vette down to the car wash and have Mike give it a nice wax and shine. Maybe I’ll see if Mike has truly changed after finding Jesus and would like to pet my dog. Of course, I will first have to make sure that my dog knows that, “yes Jesus, it is that Michael Vick and he has truly found you now”

I hope Goddell does NOT permit Vick to return. I cannot STAND liars, and Vick LIED to the league admin, to Goddell and to Blank. Legally, he did his time and deserves a chance to work somewhere. But if I were Goddell, would he return to the NFL? Hell no. I am so sick and tired of all these hoodlum athletes and “celebrities” these days. Make them get a regular job and feel the pain of what they did. They need a wakeup call, and if we keep excusing people, and giving celebs passes, they’ll never learn their lessons. Sets a bad example and is jacking up our society and kids.

I totally agree CeCe. Remeber who told you you this Blank. When Vick signs with another team and they play in the dome, watch how many Vick supporters you see in the stands. Im a die hard Fan, beenone since 66 but that will be the only time I wish he would beat the brakes off of our Falcons. You are still a Big Dummy.

Playing in the NFL, is a privilege. Vick does not deserve a 2nd chance. It takes one very sick individual to be able to torture and kill defenseless animals. I rather doubt he was cured while in prison. Vick does drugs, he hid hundreds of thousands of dollars before going to prison,he ripped off the Falcons for most of their bonus money, and he illegally took pension fund money. This is the type person who should be a role model in our NFL? Vick is very fortunate to have a job with a construction company. Many decent people are currently unemployed. How many people do you think could be out of work for 2 years, start a new job making $10 pr.hr., and be able to afford a security team, $3million bankruptcy attorney fees and live in a $750,000 home? Vick is fortunate indeed. Let him get on with his life and his new career in the construction industry. Hopefully, Mr. Goodell will give Vick the lifetime ban, he so deserves.

Who can really say what Mike Vick can or cannot do without him getting on the field to find out. If he is the best QB in a particular team, who would you want to have. What if he’s faster than before. Everyone who say he do not have it anymore is just voicing their opinion. Until he get the opportunity, NO ONE knows….

I AM SO TIRED OF PEOPLE BASHING MIKE VICK. THE REASON THEY ARE DOING IT IS BECAUSE HE IS BLACK AND A VERY GOOD QB. DID BOBBY COX GO TO JAIL WHEN HE BEAT HIS WIFE? YOU HEARD NOTHING ELSE ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS. WHEN THE JACKSONVILLE PLAYER GOT CAUGHT TRAFFICKING COCAINE, DID THEY LET HIM PLAY AGAIN, YES. WHY IS EVERYONE SO DOWN ON VICK? HE BROUGHT THE OLD TIRED FALCONS UP. GOT THEM TO THE SUPERBOWL, AND THEY BLEW IT. THE QB THEY HAVE NOW IS WHITE, AND THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE WANTED. WE HAVE PEOPLE EVERYDAY THAT ABUSE CHILDREN AND PEOPLE, DO YOU HEAR ABOUT THEM? WHEN IT COMES TO DOGS, AND I HAVE A DOG, PETA ACTS LIKE IT IS THE END OF THE WORLD. THEY ONLY WANTED PUBLICITY. NOW YOU DON’T HEAR A WORD FROM THEM. THEY CAUGHT A MAN IN GWINNETT COUNTY WITH DEAD DOGS THAT HE HAD BEEN FIGHTING IN HIS BACK YARD. DID YOU HEAR ANY MORE ABOUT HIM? A LADY HAD ABUSED HER DOGS AND CATS, GOT CAUGHT, DID YOU HEAR ANY MORE FROM HER? NO BECAUSE THEY WERE WHITE PEOPLE AND THE BLACKS ARE TREATED DIFFERENTLY FROM WHITES WHEN THEY COMMITT A CRIME. LEAVE THE MAN ALONE, LET HIM GET ON WITH HIS LIFE AND STOP BASHING HIM BECAUSE I AM SURE ALL OF YOU HATERS HAVE SKELETONS IN YOUR CLOSETS TOO. AS FOR HIS PARENTS, WE DON’T KNOW HOW HE WAS BROUGHT UP. BUT I CAN TELL BY SOME OF YOU IDIOTS POSTING COMMENTS, THAT YOUR FAMILY WAS RED-NECK TRAILER TRASH. SOME OF YOU SEEM TO HAVE ONLY A FIRST GRADE EDUCATION. STOP HATING.
