…I hate Vick as a player. I am sick of the constant refrain of what an exciting player he is…he’s a dull player. He plays like he’s still on the JV team. Run around a lot, get sacked, chunk the ball as far downfield as possible, incomplete, run around some more, chunk the ball as far downfield as possible, interception, run around some more, break some tackles, jump over guys, get sacked, chunk the ball as far downfield as possible, touchdown (“Only Michael Vick can make plays like that!”), run around some more, get sacked, fumble, repeat ad nauseum. If I wanted to watch that kind of football, I could go to any public park on Saturday and watch pickup games.

I’ve already heard a lot of comments about people boycotting the NFL over this. I know a lot of dog lovers, and they are NOT happy (to put it mildly) with this decision. My hope is that no team is interested and he fades away. I can’t imagine why anyone would want him. He never impressed me.

that explained it in a way that cleared that very same question up for me, though it doesn’t make me feel any better about it. Vick’s crimes were federal crimes, and he tried very hard to avoid punishment for them, whereas Stallworth’s crime was addressed in a county court, and he called the police at the scene, and payed off the victim’s family substantially and immediately. He therefore expressed remorse more believably I guess than Vick ever did. He still killed a person while driving drunk in the morning in a city in which he neither lived nor worked, but he was really sorry, and I think the guy was jaywalking too.
