Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

I don't know about you, but I'm getting very tired of hearing about Michael Vick. It's almost more annoying than T.O. of the loser Cowboys (well, maybe not that annoying). Let's make this a Michael Vick free zone.

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

I'm down, but I think this thread is kind of ironic.

If only it was that easy. lol I'm getting pretty tired of it too.

Everytime Vick breathes hard there's a new thread about him. Can't we find something else to find controversy over??

Like the Spice Girls getting back together. Bad career move if I say so myself. Haha.

You know it was all his fault the game got rained out.
I had so many pushpins in my Brunell voodoo doll after that.

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

Laets ban both of those guys from the Warpath Brunell and Vick I am sick of it

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

Let's face it, Michael Vick threads are going to start popping up like cock roaches.

He also is solely responsible for global warming. Ok I am done no more Vick or Brunell coming from me.

Good late Evening 12th and D rave and SS how is everything with you guys (and girl).

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

Vick stuff is going to die down in a week anyway. He is banned, he will get sentenced after the trial and that is that. Once the regular season begins Vick is on the backburner for awhile.

I agree with your assement once the real games start everything else in sports will be on the backburner, including Vick. I'm also tired of these gloried practice games too, enough with the preseason already!

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

We need a "Was Vick genuine in his press conference" poll :)

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

You know what was really funny. Tonight, right at the beginning of MNF, Tirico says, "We will try to tallk about the game some." Then they had a lawyer in the booth that knew as much about the case as I do, which is to say, not much. That broadcast is irretrievably broken. I don't think I'll be watching anymore.

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

MNF seems to be missing something which can't quite put my fingers on. I do know though that I don't like it. Maybe I've been spoiled by Al Michael and Co.

Well, this is a constant topic of debate at work. What's wrong with MNF and how do we fix it? I think a big "problem" is that a lot of viewers incorrectly assumed that when it went back to ESPN it would go back to being about the game. And to an extent it should be. But the reality is that this is a business, and MNF is designed to appeal to more than just your diehard football fan.

No one misses Al Michaels...no one at work anyway

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

what is wrong with al michaels?

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

I hope the MNF intro isn't quite as embarrassing as it was last year. And less celebs in the booth pimping their latest movies would be nice too.

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

You know what's nice about a forum? If you see a Vick thread, you don't have to read it! It's the biggest story in sports right now and new developments come every day.

To Matty, I heard that the MNF intro got updated again and is a big cameo. Sounds terrible. Maybe I misheard the radio.

I don't know if you guys knew this, but Vick is also the sole person that took the "WMD's" out of Iraq before we could find them.

Well, to the second part of your question that's not really going to change much. That's where the "business aspect" comes into play. Actually, the preference would be to have more athletes than entertainers but the NFL is very strict about what other sports can be promoted during their telecasts

Ugh. This is where MNF has gone wrong. They're trying to cater to a wider audience than they probably even really have. Football fans want a football broadcast. I really don't care what some celeb has to say, especially when it's painfully obvious they don't even understand the basics of football and they drone on about how big of a fan they are.

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

Does anyone here know of someone who didn't watch MNF "back in the day" but does now because of the new celebrity guest appearances? I personally didn't make it as much of a point to watch last year because all that non-football talk irritated me. The game's on in my house, of course, but I'll be online or reading a book with the game muted most of the time.

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

MNF will always get my attention if it is a good matchup of teams. It will never matter who is babbling on and on in the booth. Somehow I'll just tune them out and concentrate on the game.

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

ill always watch because i love football. and i really like Jaws, but Tirico is a bonehead. and I'm not sure why you need 3 guys in the booth.but i cant get enough of Suzy Colber( yum yum)

Suzy? Really? She does a decent job of reporting, but I'd take Melissa Stark. I still miss her. :(

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

Bonnie Bernstein blows both Kolber and Stark out of the water...

Tirico and Kornheiser both think they're the smartest men in broadcast history, but nothing could be further from the truth. Tirico is even worse at golf than football for that matter (not good at either one). Kornheiser is one of the most overrated sports media figures today, I'm not all that sure he always knows what he's talking about either. I like Jaws alright and I wonder if Joe Namath would still like to kiss Suzy?

So much for making this a Vick free zone :)

Re: Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?
 

Some of you guys really crack me up.
I am pretty sick of hearing about Vick too, but you know what I do? I stop going to the threads that talk about him. (wow, it's magic) When I feel like hearing about what going on with him I then go to those threads.
[b]if you don't like talking about him, then don't go to the threads. It's a whole lot better than going to the thread and bitching about the fact that there is a thread that exists that you feel the need to post on even though you don't want to talk about it! [/b]
It's the Howard Stern theory. If you don't like him, then turn the freakin knob on the radio to someone else.
If you don't like fantasy football, should we close our fantasy football section on this site cause you don't like it? How self centered are you?

Here's the problem: while I'm sick of hearing about That Certain Former Player I did (for example) want to watch the game last night for other reasons. It would have been really hard for me to have changed the channel and actually get to see how Carson Palmer looked. I supposed I could have muted the TV and put on some music or something but whenever I do that I lose interest in the game quickly, which is ironic because having to hear Mort talk about That Certain Former Player for 12 minutes straight also makes me lose interest in the game.

Now, as for here on TheWarpath, I completely agree with you and I've been in this argument before. I will NEVER understand why some people feel the need to post things like "this thread is stupid" or "why is this thread still going on." Just ignore it if you don't like it.
The beauty of a site like this is that you basically have the freedom to pick and choose the content that you see. If there is something that you want to talk about odds are that you can find someone to discuss the topic with. At the same time, if you're when watching a game on TV you rarely have that freedom.

Considering how bad the "team" has gotten, I'm not sure I blame him. Ask those knuckleheads if they've ever heard of a loss leader. There are some good books about Rupert Murdoch they could read up on. Has Fox ever made money on the NFL? I doubt it. But you win in other ways.

Not to be a smart ass and I see your basic point, but I find it ironic that you are suggesting that people ignore threads that annoy them, but are complaining about about this trhead instead of ignoring it. Sorry for being an ass, but I had to point it out.
