Ya, I just did a quick search and couldn't find anything about his release from the Falcons, I've been watching ESPN and saw nothing on it too. I'd like to see a link as well.

Are you sure you're not confusing being released by the Falcons with being released from prison into home custody?

Re: The Vick Factor

Wonder if Vick will ever play again or if he may go to Canada?

Re: The Vick Factor

He's definitely a PR nightmare. I think it's going to take a desperate team or a very strong one (Patriots) to take that on.

I don't think the Skins are even in the conversation for Vick.

Re: The Vick Factor

He isn't a good QB, bad completion percentage and a lot of INTs.

Re: The Vick Factor

Yeah hoo. He did that, hung dogs, tortured dogs, electrocuted dogs, etc. This wasn't just the gambling aspect to him, he shouldn't be allowed back in the NFL. If a lawyer did this, they would be disbarred. If a police officer did this he wouldn't ever get another job in law enforcement. Mike Vick doesn't deserve another chance, in my opinion.

I'm with you, F-Vick. The AFL, CFL and Semi-Pro teams need players too. He'd never play in the NFL again if I'm commish.

Re: The Vick Factor

I think PETA understand that he went to jail and served his time. He may in order to counteract any negative backlash become a spokesperson or a supporter with cash to PETA

PETA does not understand anything if its not accompanied with lots of money.

Re: The Vick Factor

There are places where Vick would fit in next year as a backup QB. I think the exaustive list goes Indianapolis, New England, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Chicago, New Orleans, or the NY Giants. That's 25% of the league that could find a positive use for Mike Vick. All of those teams have one thing in common, established, franchise type QBs, or at least the perception that they have one.

If he goes anywhere else, said team is probably taking him for the wrong reasons.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. The only place that sick f**k belongs in Washington is toilet soap changer at Fed Ex field.



Eff you Bros Vick.

Re: The Vick Factor

SF should sign him. He's probably better than Hill and Smith.

Re: The Vick Factor

I'm not worried about whether Vick plays again or not. I really couldn't care less. I think he has a lot of work to do on just being a decent human being. I don't see him doing anything for the Redskins except being a media circus. We don't need him. It kinda boggles my mind that someone worth millions of dollars would spend their time fighting dogs??? I guess Forrest Gump was right, "Stupid is as stupid does." What a f**king idiot.

Thats like saying why would millionaires take drugs, drive fast, beat their wives. Money rarely changes a persons bad habits, normally lets them fulfill more their bad traits and habits.

I certainly dont see him as a great quarterback, but the point was made earlier in thread he is still better than some of the starting qbs playing now. Certainly Atlanta grossly overpaid on last contract, so while hes not the 130 dollar man he is still a good qb. Just dont see him fitting in here.
