All parties need wake up call regarding Vick
ESPN.com is reporting federal investigators have turned in documentation that an illegal dog fighting operation did occur on the property of Michael Vick, but as of now, the quarterback himself will not be charged with any wrong doing. With that, I think it’s high time everyone needs a wake up call regarding Vick.
First and foremost is the media. Just as in the Duke lacrosse case, the national media has yet to learn how to only report the news and let the facts gradually come out. As soon as this case took flight, all national and regional media outlets had a story ripping Vick and his possible involvement. From ESPN showing video of dog fights on a Sunday morning, to WVEC in Virginia jumping the gun while citing over three dozen dog carcasses were removed from Vick’s property, there needs to be more responsible journalism in this country.
Secondly, to all of Vick’s apologists, just because he might not be charged with anything, doesn’t mean he wasn’t involved or had any knowledge of what was going on. Read the ESPN link above about what these people did to these dogs and it’ll be enough to make you throw up. These are sick people who ran this operation and if Vick had any involvement, he’s sick too. On the flip side, if he is truly innocent, great, then he needs to stop wasting his God given talents and supporters – myself included – need to quit making excuses for why he isn’t one of the best quarterbacks in the league yet. Put in the work for once Mike.
Lastly, to all the “haters” out there, freaking relax already. Just because you didn’t and don’t believe Vick will ever live up to the hype machine that was created for him when he came out of college, doesn’t mean the guy caused global warming, shot Kennedy or was responsible for Watergate. He’s already shown that he’s erratic on the field and a headache off it, so put the gun back in the holster and stop wanting Vick to screw up so you can say, “see, I told you so!”
Great article Stalter…and I’m right there with you. Especially with that final paragraph you wrote. At the end of the day, for whatever reason, the general population wants to see Vick fall flat on his face. Maybe it’s racism, maybe it’s jealousy…I don’t know. But it’s like everyone is waiting in the bushes for Vick to get linked to this scandal so they jump out and say, “Ha…I was right all along”. I say forget about the pitbull v rottweiler rivalries and let’s talk some damn football. Before we know it they’ll be games to analyze to pointspreads to handicap.
Well Said Bosox Nation ………. How about this …. Are the Patriots way better than anyone else right now ? They are big favorites ……. but it’s only July ?
Trust me BoSox, I’m ready to move on from this Vick saga more than anyone, but unfortunately it’s still the biggest news story out there. What a dead time in sports right now huh?
Bay24 – I think the Pats are, by far, the best team on paper right now, but for that, I think that’s why they won’t win it all. Think back to the last couple of chic-pick teams:
‘06 – Miami…no playoffs.
‘05 – Atlanta…no playoffs.
‘04 – Carolina…no playoffs.
‘03 – Chiefs…no playoffs.
I’d be a fool to suggest the Pats won’t even make the postseason, but I doubt I’ll be picking them to win the whole thing this year when I do my predictions for Bullz-Eye.com…
AS – I hope you are right – I am not a Pats fan – but, boy do they look good on paper. And they have the best Coach …… The HOODY !
Street Randy will be the demise of that team….you heard it here first
