Michael Vick?

Question

what team do you think will pick him up after lock down.

How could the Falcons possibly let him go?

I'm have respect for all creatures, but how is hunting for sport less cruel? Isn't shooting a deer and watching it die slowly and painfully just as vicious? How many pro players hunt.

Answer 1

i feel ya on the hunting issue... and hell... for the most part the dogs are killing each other....

i hope the falcons will hold on to him if they have any sense... but i think Baltimore will prolly pick him up:

1. because they need a QB
2. because they will be an immediate superbowl contender with him
3. They have ea history of keeping with convicted players... Ray Lewis and Jamal Lewis... well not jamal too long but that wasn't because of his jail time


oh and buy the way... Will yall people please stop saying gay **** like ... Vick is a horrible person and should clean dog kennels for the rest of his life...

Grow up!


and the person that said hunting is poaching... are you serouis... 99% of hunters hunt for sport... yes they use the meat and hides, etc... but its not like they have to do it to survive... so i guess you can cal hunting poaching but don't try and defend some hunters for "using" their prey

Answer 2

A) hunting for sport is just as cruel. but many hunters don't hunt for sport. that is called poaching. they actually use the meat and the hides, so that's not an apt comparison.

B) they are letting him go because of the illegal gambling issue. that was wrong, and against league standards. it has nothing to do with animal cruelty.

C) no one should pick him up, but if i was to hazard a guess, Dolphins or Raiders, maybe 49ers. they need players, plain an simple. it'll be someone desperate.

Answer 3

The killing of the dogs is what made it a media storm, but that is not what sent Vick to jail. What sent him to jail was being a millionaire, and then using his money to fund an illegal gambling ring. The falcon owner is done with Vick. I honestly think Vick ends up a raider if Jamarcus doesn't work out for them.

Answer 4

When he makes it out of prison, after a few carnal sessions with Jamal and T-Bone (where he might bark like a dog), he should be banned from the NFL for life for associating with illegal gambling (which is a cardinal sin in pro sports). And sorry but millionaires do know what happens on there own property, he's admitted to involvement in every facet of the operation except outright gambling. He's gone. Ask Pete Rose.

Answer 5

all the other who got pulled into some kind of domestic squabble like that never involved him. what was the prosecuter thinking about. was wrong and not at all like oj. not even as bad as kobe's little rape of the working coed. no he knew they were misusing his home. he was mostly gone and just didn'ty believe it could be that bad, he grew up around itl happens all over the south. thousand of fights every weekedn i know that for a fact. not hard to get hooked up and bet on the dogs. they do it big time in japan and god knows whereeles. this is a travesty pof justice. i want him found innoucne. retrial and turned loose, he didn;t deserve this crap. theuy went way to far. where is al sharpton on this one. he just takes the terrile incidnets when he knows some one did something bad and they have him dead to rights. this was a micky mouse court. sucks. want this one reverse and vic clearked. damn ikt.vick has a good record and acts like a good guy.d

Answer 6

I can't believe anyone connects dogfighting and hunting deer. The two have NOTHING in common. People hunt deer to EAT them. Do you know how many tons of deer meat hve also been donated to homeless shelters around the country to feed thousands of people? If people did not hunt deer we would be overrun with them. You must not live in a rural area where we see deer laying dead on the side of the road after being hit by cars, causing bodily injury and property damage. To answer your question, we'll have to wait and see how long he is sentenced to prison and how long his NFL suspension would be. Let's face it, Vick was never a great QB. If and when he returns he should bulk up a little and play TE.

Answer 7

To all the people above me who have never hunted before.

Their is no comparison between dog fighting and hunting.

a) Hunting actually serves a purpose. Meat on the table. In some cases actually cloths on the backs (Mostly just the former, but my mother-in-law actually has made jackets from deer skins before)

b) The goal is not to shoot the animal and watch it slowly die as you have stated in your ignorance. The goal is a quick, painless as possible death. It is easier on the hunter for one thing as they don't have to chase it down, and for another thing the vast majority (as in every single hunter I know) does not wish to watch the animal suffer.


There is just no comparison between hunting an animal to consume it and fighting dogs to the death for the purposes of betting and satisfying blood lust.

To say so is simply idiotic.

Answer 8

It is impossible to say who might pick him up, if anyone. So at this point the only somewhat valid answer is the Falcons. Yes it is hard to let him go, but what franchise wants to deal with something like that.

Answer 9

well vick the second will probably come back as a flanker/slash/all-purpose type player. his qb days are over. i could see the steelers taking a chance on him because of the way they have converted qb's to wr's in the past. i would guess the steelers.

no team will sign him as a qb...forget that.

and for all you people that are condeming him, he will have served his time, just like anyone else. maybe, JUST maybe, he will have learned something. i'm an animal lover and got a cute little dog myself, but vick will have served his time and been punished. in fact, in this case, the system worked.

Answer 10

Vick should never play the game again. I doubt any team will pick him up after he is released from prison. Teams don't want that type of publicity.

Instead of prison, he should be sentenced to cleaning kennels at animal shelters for the term of his sentence.
