Vick never fulfilled his potential, but at his peak I think he was the most exciting player I've ever seen.

Saw him play in 2002. Great athlete.
Sketchy man, as a younger person, with the dogfighting and such, but if a person improves as a human being when they get older, how long can you hold it over his head?

It's about time he realized that his career has been over for a couple of years.

very electric player. I'll never forget playing as him in Madden in my high school years. off the field is a different story, but he was quite fun to watch

I was shocked to hear he was still in the league.

One of the few players towards whom I actually wished ill.

Don't care for folks who perpetrate or condone the torture of animals.

This guy is scum of the earth! Good riddance thug!

He was an exciting player, especially when he was younger. I vividly remember that play against the Vikings. Also for us old school gamers/nerds, Michael Vick in Madden 2004 was one of the most dominant video game players ever. Completely unstoppable in the hands of a good player.

Anyway, the off-field stuff sours me on the guy. It wasn't just the dog-fighting ring, but also some of the sicking things that were done to those dogs in conjunction with that ring. It's probably best to just leave it at that

Sorry, but that struck me as hilarious. "old school" combined w/playing video games.



Oh, and not laughing AT you........it's just hysterical.

Do feel the same about Tyreek Hill?

Oh I know-- it felt funny typing it out.

Fun fact: The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was released in Japan almost 34 years ago... July 15, 1983 to be exact. The North American release was October 18, 1985.

Hard not to wish a little come-uppance on a man who strangles and punches the stomach of his pregnant girlfriend.

But then again, maybe I'm just a petty, vindictive human.

I agree. Everybody has things in the closet they aren't proud of.

Yes. The brutal torture of animals for money and enjoyment is just youthful exuberance. I mean, we all did things like that in our younger days, right? That kind of behavior isn't indicative of the character of a human being, it's just one of those things we all did that we wish nobody had found about. Yeah.
