You must truly love what you’re doing on the blog here. I bet you’re proud of yourself. First, I’m sure the Falcons don’t look down on the Pats and are not taking them lightly. Those are Mark Bradley’s words. 2nd, The Falcons went to the Super Bowl in 1998 and that was the best football we have ever seen in Atlanta….The one good Vick year was NOT the Super Bowl…but it was fun…and we had a more complete team in 1998 then we’ve ever had until this year.

Your disdain for and bias’ against Matt Ryan, just because you are a Vick supporter is illogical given what the man has shown you. If you are fair minded and compare Ryan to any other rookie QB, save Joe Flacco, you must admit he made history last year.

I believe Vick deserves a 2nd chance and I’m glad he’s getting it. You are entitled to your opinion just like everyone else, but that doesn’t mean you have to make an ass of yourself by going over the top with your love for Mike Vick…while subjecting Falcons fans to your incessant and disturbing obsession with pushing your inane and distorted point of view upon those of us who enjoy blogging about our team that we have right now. We have moved on from that era and I look forward to the Eags coming into the dome and facing our new team with or without MV7. We got a little something for them, and we got plenty to give the Pats this Sunday too…just sit back and enjoy the homecoming.

Do us all a favor and go find an Eagles blog to root for your hero.

Animal rights group makes accusation against NFL star.

An animal treatment activist group is requesting that Michael Vick undergo a full scale mental evaluation before he can be reinstated following his conviction on dog fighting charges.

Apparently People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sent a letter to the NFL commissioner saying Vick should be checked to see if he is a psychopath before having any chance of a return to football.

The letter reportedly quotes psychological studies which show distinct correlations between individuals who abuse dogs and individuals who sexually assault animals as well. Said one PETA member, “What he did may only be the tip of the iceberg…this behavior could be much deeper than a lot of people initially expected”.

Vick is serving a prison sentence on conspiracy charges in connection with his bankrolling of a dogfight gambling ring. Evidence in the case showed he killed dogs in such brutal manners as drowning, beating and electrocution.

“Saying sorry and getting his ball back after being caught enjoying killing dogs in hideously cruel ways for many years doesn’t cut it,” PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said.

In my previous posts I have been charged with being too glum about the Flacosn indisputable greatness after beating the Dolphins and Panthers so here goes:

1. The Ryan-Smith combo obviously leaves Montana-Walsh and Bradshaw-Noll in the dust (neither of thoe combos ever beat the Carolina Panthers);

2. The Patriots and Steelers have lot to learn from this Falcons organization when it comes to producing a team that wins consistently; and

3. The Atlanta Falcons – great team or greatest team?
