Dolphins | Not commenting on any potential Vick interest
Sat, 11 Jul 2009 05:30:44 -0700
Mike Berardino, of the South Florida SunSentinel, reports when Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland was asked his response to former NFL head coach Dennis Green's recent prediction that free-agent QB Michael Vick (Falcons) would end up with the team, he just smiled and offered no comment. "No comment on that," Ireland said. "That's not my deal." Green credited the "creativity" of vice president Bill Parcells as his primary reason for predicting Vick would land with the team. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is already on record saying he believes Vick deserves a second chance to play in the NFL.
Parcels just might do it ...
if this happens I think I'll puke.

Well, there's not even a guarantee that Vick will be allowed to play.

Hopefully from being overexcited, Vick's record against a Belichick defense isn't the greatest and BB would have to be forgiven for rubbing his hands with glee at the prospect.

Puke or celebrate ? I think the Pats, over the years, have been burned by Pennington WAY more than Vick.
On a somewhat related matter, what is the obsession with dog killers ? No one seems to be protesting over human killers (Stallworth). Maybe it's just because I hate domestic animals, but something seems wrong when Vick is so maligned and others get by...

Agree on Pennington being tougher than Vick.
Understand your instinct re: dog-killers v. human killers, but for me the difference is INTENT. Yes, drunk driving is awful and, in a sense, you make a "choice" but it's not the same thing. Michael Vick is a masochistic scumbag who killed and tortured dogs ON PURPOSE with no remorse whatsoever. Donte Stallworth is reprehensibly reckless, who killed a wayward pedestrian by accident and who has displayed uncommon remorse. That difference, in my view, makes all the difference in the world.
There are many in the NFL who have assaulted and killed people. Vick had Rotwilers fight for sport and killed the weak and losers. Would we feel the same if he supported ****fighting? Why not?
Vick deserves the same second chance that have been given to many other thugs.
With regard to team, Miami is a natural home for Vick.
I agree that Stallworth is NOT a good comparison. Those who beat their girlfriends or wives IS a good comparison.

What makes people think he can still play. Vicks was in the slammer all of last season, if the guy is supposedly broke whose he been training with to get back into shape.
There are many in the NFL who have assaulted and killed people.
I'm in the camp that Vick should be able to play considering Leonard Little got drunk, killed a mother in a DUI, and was so remorseful and had so learned his lesson that he turned around and got another DUI a couple years later, yet he still has earned millions thank to the NFL.
But I'm not sure "many in the NFL have assaulted and killed people." ???
