The saga continues as Michael Vick has been conditionally reinstated to the NFL by Commissioner Goodell. He will be allowed to partake in 2 pre-season games as well as practice with a team but at this point will not allowed to play in regular season games. This will be reviewed by Goodell after week 6.
The experts are once again screaming that Vick will end up in Miami. Besides the fact that this makes absolutely no sense at all (what are we going to do, cut Pat White?), there are three much more blatantly obvious places that Vick could end up - New England, Buffalo, and New York.
Let's not forget that Miami has 3 solid QBs already, and that we already have a hard enough task of getting down to 53 players and could not possibly carry a 4th QB. Then factor in that the other 3 AFC East teams would love a 'Wildcat-esque' player to practice against in prep for their 2 games vs Miami. They also don't exactly have three lovely options like Miami at QB as it is, so once his full reinstatement is allowed, Vick would help out as a likely 2nd string QB on one of these teams. I would think the Jets would love to have a run-first QB since those swirling winds up there tend to make any QB look bad throwing the ball. The Patriots are all about the preparation for their division rivals. And Buffalo, well Buffalo just sucks, and they love to take crooks up there.

I just came across a website with an article about Vick being re-instated that had a picture of Goodell at the podium of the NFL Draft with a Dolphins logo behind him but I forgot which site and now anything I've gone back to I can't find it.
ReplyDeleteVick will not become a Dolphin and like Tin said if he does, what do we do with Pat White? It's not going to happen though because the trifecta does not like a media circus around their team.

ReplyDeleteI clear it regularly at work. ;)
ReplyDeleteFound it.

it's like a not-so-subliminal message...
ReplyDeleteDont see Vick outside Landshark stadium hanging out with his new favorite PETA pals
ReplyDeleteAlthough the "Fan Experience" would be greatly enhanced if Vick was in front of stadium stroking a 12 foot giraffe and changing a cudly panda bears diaper
U know with a little talcum powder and some cute baby talk
Is it me or does Goodells conversations with the NFL's bandits seem to be taking on a Popey, "dominus ominus" flavor .... "Mr. Vick I believe that you are sorry ... 15 Hail Marys and 12 push-ups and a kiss of my ring should get it...go now and sin no more."
ReplyDeleteLOL, I've been getting that same vibe for about a year now.
ReplyDeleteI know that Vick has "paid his time" for the crime and that RG has added to Vicks sentence which upsets so many people. But lets not forget that Vick lied to RG's face when he said that he did not do it.
ReplyDeleteI am actually a Vick fan (we went to High School together) but he did lie to his face and I am sure that he is not very happy about that.
Vick to Moss
ReplyDeleteGot tickets?
picked off by Smith. Got burned?
ReplyDeleteOh and old Fred Taylor can't catch him...TOUCHDOWN!!!!
ReplyDeletevick is going to the browns. they think he will be a big hit in the dawg pound
ReplyDeleteSmith is not even signed to the team yet lol
ReplyDeleteHope Vonte signs by Friday
His brother might be in his ear telling him yo hold firm he can get more money from "the man"
Any guess on how much Pat White might get?
(groan)
ReplyDeleteHome, do you even read the news or just your own comments? Sean Smith DID
ReplyDeletesign with the team...
Yeah I know Tin
ReplyDeleteposted smith meant Davis
Retracted statement added new comment but went to above sight
Long day already up at 3;30am
Sleepy today
excuse please
I thought maybe you were on a different planet and hadn't heard the news...
ReplyDeleteNo
ReplyDeleteSelf admitted news hound
Seems I often get NFL news 1-3 hrs before SS
Wanted Sean Smith prior to the draft
So glad Trifecta got him
Did not think they would esp. that early in draft
Leaping ability with reach is frightening good
Smith may even be a lot better than I thought as he has received very favorable reviews to date
ps
Tin
U are doing terrific job with your sight
Hope future brings U much success
danke
ReplyDeleteGoing back to Vick here. Roger is the Daddy of the NFL, and in being the Daddy he's taking things into his own hands. As your own parent may have done after causing trouble in school and being disaplined by them, the worst my be yet to come when you get home. It is Rogers Job to protect his Family ( the NFL ) and there image. Vick violated that image and just like when you were young, Roger simply layed down the law. If Vick would have learned that when he was young, there would be no need for Roger to teach him that when he is in his 30s. Don't blame Roger blame the dumb a$$ that raised Vick. Vick is a fine example of what happens when a Parent has "NPS" No Parenting Skills.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't remember who it was but one of our regular readers watched
ReplyDeleteVick grow up and he was apparently a model kid back then...
What ever he was then, I can't tell you. I can say this though, from what we have seen of Mike and his brother Marcus I'll stand by my statement. I know that's not a popular stand, but that's the view I get of the situation.
ReplyDeleteDifferences aside Tin. Roger is protecting the image of the NFL no matter what we all think.
