Matthew at the Slow Learning Center:

Who are you Good riddancing to? Last I checked, there have been no personnel moves at QB. Last I checked our QB has never been charged with a crime.

Certain people like yourself may not need those little things called facts and evidence, but the rest of us like to wait until someone has actually been charged and convicted of a crime before we wish prison rape upon them. I know that your mother is proud of you, even if no one else is.

Steve,

I’m trying to be objective here, which unfortunately, can’t be said for ESPN, Don Banks, the AJC, and many others. Hey, the “evidence” against Kobe Bryant was overwhelming, too, remember that, Steve? But you know, I’m sure you can find envelopes with my name on them at my parents house from mail they never forwarded me. I mean, if Vick set his cousin up with the house and paid his bills, then it goes to say that every bill and many envelopes bearing Vick’s name would be sent to this house, right? And as far as people saying that Vick HAD to be bankrolling this operation, how many of y’all think that the cousin could have bankrolled this operation on his own through fighting the dogs? And as far as start-up costs, it is very possible that Vick just gave him the money. Just like Vick has given money without questions to his mother and his brother over the years. Who’s to say Vick really knew anything? Or maybe, he had inklings, but never said anything (which is still wrong). But here is what I do know, Steve. I know that most everything that you’ve reported is conjecture, and you don’t spend a lot of time explaining that. I seem to remember a front page splash about a tape that had Vick on it. And then, two days later, an explanation from the lady who’s paid to find dog fighters that they “think” they’re might be a tape, and if there is, they “think” Vick might be on it. Yes, there are witnesses who say they’ve seen Vick there, and if he was there, and he knew what was going on or participated in it, I hope he goes to JAIL.

But I’m sick of reading about conjecture and heresay in the AJC, ESPN, and from Don Banks, who has, with his assassination piece filled with “secret” sources which stunk like sour grapes from Little Jimmy Mora and associates that Vick had recently ejected from his group, set himself up to be this year’s Dan Rather. Don Banks has had it out for Vick almost as much as the guys from that trashy tabloid rumor website. So we’re to trust a guy like that with an obvious bias against Vick?

Be careful Steve. Remember Kobe Bryant. Remember Duke Lacrosse, where the DA had “overwhelming” evidence at one point. You might want to preface and close everything you write with “alleged” or “circumstantial,” you know, language that can protect you from libel if, IF Vick isn’t guilty. Because the guys over on that trashy tabloid rumor site and guys like Don Banks might be facing some defamation law suits from Vick if he is exhonorated. I know if it were me, even if I couldn’t win those suits, I would sue the hell out of Mike Florio, the idiot Mountainqueer who runs that site and Don Banks and make their lives a living hell if I were exhonorated. Even if I were to lose, it would be worth it, and it would be worth finding out who Don Banks’ sources were. If I were Vick, if I were to be exhonorated, oh man, I’d keep those fools in court for years, bankrupting them in the process. That kind of vengeance would be sweet.

And even if Vick is guilty, which, once again, if he is, I hope he goes to JAIL for the maximum sentence, it doesn’t make what the media is doing right.

Matheww could you please tell me what makes vick a thug? Second for the AJC to publish this story and even make light of the fact that mail addressed to “M.Vick” is ridiculous. Clearly they must have forgotten there is a Micheal Vick and a Marcus Vick. I would suggest the AJC put as much effort into covering every local sports team as they have in the latest witch hunt of our pro footballs teams starting QB. And for the so called fans, How can you really justify calling for vicks head after his first full season under Reeves when we wnt to the playoff( Cries for Doug Johnson) then even after we wen to the NFC championship game people wanted Vick gone. this clearly illustrates that their is a contingent of individuals that would love to replace Vick win or lose.

Vick will be cleared, if the police had a case against him they would have been arrested him.I think it is funny how the AJC at one point and time calling vick the savior of this franchise and now just because his name is on some property you guys quickly jump all over him, but prior to this ajc or no other aniamals rights group was even talking about this problem,if you knew he was fighting dogs you should have arrested him prior to now, but now I see why barry bonds hate the media, and if I was mike I would shoot the ajc the middle finger and would never due another interview with you guys ever, trust me all the ajc writers suck and once vick is cleared I want to see front page an apologige from all the ajc writers expressed to mike vick since you so quick to jump on him for something bad, let me see how up standing of a news paper you are. I dont see any articles in the papper about a rape at kerney house oh he is white that is why.

Dear Matthew at the Small Learning Center; You speak like you have first hand experience with those things. You inquire to downgrade Vick with your ‘language’, but it only makes yourself look like a fool. This country is based on “innocent until proven guilty”… and rather be a Vick fan or not, that is the law. You are no better than the media or the Grandstanding politician out in California. I will be glad when this mess is behind us and we can focus on football. However the media will always hate Vick and make false accusations as well as jump to any interview from an ex-teamate or some bum on the street that saw Mr. Vick’s truck parked in front of PetSmart… without substantial evidence to solidify their claim. We can only ignore them, as well as you.

Ummm… AJC, could you please do something about my Idiot Racist Redneck Stalker? How could you let someone use hate speech to incite others to further hate speech? Isn’t that a violation of the rest of our Constititional rights? If someone uses their speech for hatred with the implicit purpose to incite others to similar hate and or violence, they then forfeit their right to free speech.

So kick that idiot off the site. It’s easy. Isolate his ISP Address. Ban that address. No more Idiot Racist Redneck Stalker.

The media is clearly out to make a buck off of Vick’s name. There hasn’t been one piece of good evidence presented, yet the media has all but convicted and sentenced Mike Vick. Whatever happened to checking sources and facts before going to print?

If Vick is involved in Dog Fighting, then he should go down. If he is cleared of this mess, I hope that he sues everyone who has accused him and never gives another local interview again. The integrity of the AJC is quite pathetic, to let rumors and unnamed sources paint the picture of a situation that nobody really knows anything about yet.

When was the last time there was an article about the rape at Patrick Kerney’s house or the dead dog incident at Jonathan Babinaeux’s house? Doesn’t sell as many newspapers as sensationalizing and embellishing stories from “un-named sources” and “Video Tapes” that don’t exist? What a joke. If the Falcons start winning next year, the local media will be all on his jock again, begging for an interview. I hope he never grants another one to the AJC. He probably stopped granting them awhile ago, which would contribute to this witch hunt to convict a man that hasn’t even been charged with a crime yet.

Falcon Fan, Did you know that Patrick Kerney doesn’t even play for the Falcons anymore? Why would the paper cover that? In addition, the victim said he had nothing to do with it. Vick can deny this all day long, but it holds no water until he is cleared. Its a pretty good sign you’re innocent when the victim says you didn’t do it.

Look people, if this was MV’s first run with the law I’m sure people would give him the benefit of the doubt. The fact is that when it is obviously becoming a pattern people get tired of seeing their franchise player in the news for stupid decisions.

Their are plenty of black athletes that get praise around the NFL. Tomlinson, McNabb, Tiki and Ronde Barber, Julius Peppers, just to name a few. Also, these players find a way to not surround themselves with bad decisions and negative attention on a routine basis.

Yes people make mistakes and some bad decisions, but it is the ability to not learn from these mistakes that has everyone annoyed! MV IS THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE?!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?! WHAT A JOKE!!!!

I mean the man acts like a idiot and even LOOKS like a idiot….if i saw him on the street and didnt recognize him id think he was gonna come up to me begging for change.
I love my falcons and i even will cheer for vick when it comes down to game time….but man i wish we had someone SMART…like Tom Brady. Vick really lives up to the sterotype of dumb nigg dosent he.

Why are the reporters of this paper so unfairly biased I thought reporting was supposed to be balanced and fair. I promise you it will be a sad day at AJC if no charges are filed against MV. Someone will need to post a suicide watch over the reporters who want this man’s head. What a joke. If things we’re as bad as we’ve been made to believe where is the basic animal cruelty charge? Think about it. Steve Take a deep breathe and relax. The last story I remember being this sensationalized and over reported was Bill and Monica. Come on guys he’s a football player. Good grief!!!!!

After Vick is cleared of these charges i honestly hopes he sues these writers for slander. Whatever happened to ethics? You people are in a position to make a positive difference instead you chose to fill the papers with slander, he say she say and no facts. When it comes to racism my feeling is not all white poeple are racist it just seems that many people in positions to make a difference use that influence adversly for their own personal agendas. But even bigger can’t people see this is a personal vendetta these people have with Vick. Be it race or not it doesn’t matter no person deserves to have garbage like we’ve seen the last few weeks printed when none of it is fact. Who is holding the media accountable? To all the writers on the journal especially wyche, how can you honestly look at yourself in the mirrow and feel you are doing a good job? jeff shcultz and terrence moore any of you. How can you look yourself in the mirror inthe morning and feel what you write and say is the truth.

BREAKING NEWS: Arthur Blank no longer has any credibility in this town after making a joke of himself in how his kisses up to a simpleton and aspiring criminal like Vick AFTER mortgaging the franchise to pay him in relation to the salary cap.

In Other News: Water is wet, the grass green, Vick supporters struggle with basic English writing & speaking skills and MIKE VICK belongs behind center….of the counter at THE VARSITY.

Did you all read the comments from the guy titled Mr. Blank posted? I mean this is the mess people like myself and others are talking about! Just because Kerney doesn’t play for this team anymore,doesn’t excuse the fact that a woman was raped in his house, while he was at home you idiot! That story is huge why aren’t the AJC and other news agency all over this story? Using their power of public information rights too gather court documents, warrants, testimony from informants,etc…? They just took his word for it! Could someone explain too me Vick who live and was here in Georgia, wasn’t at the property he owns when this alledged crime that the public has already accused him of was here! Not in Virginia! But Kerney had a Woman raped in his house, while he was there! Not in Seattle when the crime was committed but home here in Atlanta! And this guy say Vick can’t deny it! That he guilty basically! While Kerney can! You sir, is a clown! This is discrimination 101 and racism. A black man is gulity of a crime even though he don’t live there, or was there when the crime was committed. While a white man who was at home when a crime was committed,just in another part of his house! And he is not guilty even though plays for another team! This is most dumbest thing I ever heard! Until they have evidence that Vick was their fighting dogs. He’s not guilty of anything! This news agnecy promotes hate and I say people should start boycotting it! Hit them where it hurts, and start demanding that the FBI start looking in to those who Blog hate in this news papper! And someone needs to be fired for the colmns that they post, that the madness behind this hate!

Portis and Samuels defend Vick. Well, thats like Scareface defending Pablo Escabar.

Either way, as a long time Falcon Fan, i am rooting for the Falcons to do theie usual end of season swoon and finish mediocre and with a top ten pick. Hopefully Vick and Blank can payoff enough people to keep this dog issue at bay long enough to use him as trade bait to trade up into the top three and then Pitrino can get his boy in here. BRIAN BROHM… the nfuture face and leader of the Falcons. I just hope he scores higher then Vick did on the Wounderlick. It shouldn’t be to hard to beat a SEVEN. but that aint to bad… 7 out of a possible FIFTY. Let’s face it, Vick’s decision making abilities are clearly reflected in that Wounderlick score. We should have all know then what we were up against.

Like brother like brother. Not much difference between Marcus and Michael. Unfortunatly for us Falcon Fans, the apples grow from the same tree.

Great job Austin Bailey! I absolutely agree. In fact I am personally writing a letter to the AJC to suggest that they clean house of all of these “papier meche`” want to be sports writers! That have’nt got anything right so far in this case. Wyche, Shcultz and Moore they all slander this guy as if they produce top notch work. The material that they put out is trash. Forget about Michael Vick and his passing percentage. If the AJC’s sport’s writers put in half as much effort in writing a decent story then probably this sports section would be about something. I personally get tired of coming to the AJC and continuously get updates about nonsense! The alleged videotape! (nonesense). The 3 pieces of evidence with his name on it! (nonsense). Like I said I am personally writing a letter to the AJC about these “heartless” so-called writers who need to get a clue about sports writing. From the looks of it, they need to go an interview with Marvel or DC Comics if all they want to do is write fiction all the d#@n time.

Hey #1 Falcon Fan, change your user name. No real Falcon fan roots for the team to have a top ten pick.

It’s funny how all of the Vick haters will look to a college QB as the savior, when all of us know that no college QB is guaranteed success at the NFL level…

And it’s also a shame that people will stoop the level of taking shots at intelligence when the person in question has never ben charged or arrested EVER. Hey remember that QB that you all loved… Matt Schaub (the guy who NEVER won a game as a Falcon, but yet was a golden child in the city of Atlanta… shows you what kind of dayum fans this state has.) was arrested once as a Falcon. Remember? Did he get the same treatment? Oh, hell no. He’s white. By the way, I’m white, too, and can call racism when I see it.

Maybe you should apply for the AJC, guy. I think you’re the type of person this paper is looking for.

Why would anyone want to support someone that flipped you off? Do all you numbskulls not realize that the same person that you are defending could careless about you and showed you exactly what he thinks of you and your support. The day that MV7 double barraled the home crowd was when i said….. DONE! I refuse to support someone that not only shows me that he appriciates but practiccally tells me to F myself while I am doing it. Regardless of your skin color. Regardless if we are winning (which we arnt). Regardless if there were only one or two other “issues” that MV7 has had. Regardless of EVERYTHING else, flipping me off will not be tolerated. I want to support the Falcons organization AND MV7 with all my heart I do but how can I allow myself to do so when i have been so horribly disrespected.

And, I ask the question to anyone else that can stomach doing so (supporting the Falcons organization and MV7) how can you do this after MV7 has flipped you off? How? please help me understand how you can continue to support such an orgnization and such an individule? Again, take away all the other contributing “issues.” How can you do it? Help me understand so maybe I can too can support my beloved team and the face of that team like I am truly wanting to do. Thanking you in advance for your perception.

Wow, are you serious? Envelopes were sent to a house bearing the name of the property owner? He must be guilty now, there’s no doubt about it! Stop the presses! Breaking news!

Seriously, wake me up when you find some real evidence. Believe it or not, if Vick’s name was on the deed to the house, his name is going to be on envelopes addressed to the house, whether or not he lives there.

By the way, #1 Falcons Fan, Vick got a 20 on the Wonderlic. Not that it makes a difference, since future Hall-of-Famer Brett Favre scored a 22. Nobody here thinks Vick has superhuman intelligence, but here’s a little news flash: it doesn’t take superhuman intelligence to play quarterback, or any other NFL position for that matter. It takes practice, repetition, instincts, and dedication. Peyton Manning is great at reading defenses not because he has the IQ of a rocket scientist, but because he spends hours in the film room watching game tape. If you don’t think Vick has those instincts or that dedication, that’s an entirely different story.

I completely agree with Mark’s post. Clinton Portis is missing the point entirely. It doesn’t matter whether or not he thinks dog-fighting should be a crime. I think it’s hypocritical for dog-fighting to be a felony in a country where thousands of cows, pigs, chickens, and fish are slaughtered on a daily basis, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to violate the law that’s on the books. If Portis gets caught dog-fighting and his defense is that he doesn’t think dog-fighting should be a crime, the judge will laugh in his face and throw him in jail. Someone needs to wake up some of these athletes and introduce them to reality. I sincerely hope Vick doesn’t have a similar outlook on the situation.

It’s great that the worst thing to ever happen to you is you saw Mike VIck flip off a couple of drunk and angry fans at a home game. YOu are obviously very traumatized by this. The rest of us have real and bigger problems in life. Some of us have even lost control of our own emotions once or twice in our life, when things weren’t going good. By your comments, it’s obvious that you have never said or done anything that you didn’t mean and that you are completely in position to be passing judgement for an entire city on a man who had a reaction after drunk and belligerent fans got to him. A little secret about me, I’ve used the middle finger bomb before as well. Only, when I pointed it at someone, it was just meant for them, not for an entire city or civilization. I know you think that Vick was flipping the entire planet earth off, but in all reality, he was just frustrated and mad that the FAlcons just lost and his emotions got the best of him. From the 5 or 6 of us on this planet that got mad and flipped the bird once in our lifetime, we do sincerely apologize. We hope that you will still cast down the breadcrumbs of modern day society to us, in your mercy.

Why even wait for facts in the current situation? They guy used his middle finger, he’s obviously involved in dog fighting right? He’s never been charged with a crime yet there is this rumor about him that he’s constantly involved with the law? From what I have seen, the media accused Mike Vick of carrying Marijuana through an airport. The police investigation said otherwise. Now the media is accusing Vick of Dog Fighting, even though the prosecutor in this case says that Vick is not a suspect. The media reports on a video tape, that the investigator herself says she has never seen. Now the smoking gun is an envelope that says “M. Vick”. I’m sorry, but so far these are just media accusations and nothing more. But then again, he did use the middle finger. Send him away… .

He flipped one person off? Now thats funny. I mean please tell me you have a better justification then that. First, I find it hard to believe that Vick good single out one person’s voice amongst 70,000 others and even if he could, he is the highest paid player in the NFL. If he gets that peeved by what one individual says then he is less confident in himself then what I want my starting QB to be. Second, I was there. I saw him hold both fingers way up in the air and wave them to the ENTIRE CROWD. Third, if you were going to flip one specific individual off and you knew that you were a high profile athelete and knew it would be on sports center and that everyone else there would see you, wouldn’t you be less descrete and use one finger and direct in the vacentity of the heckler. Not hold both fingers high in the air and wave them to the ENTIRE crowd.

Please, please, oh please tell me that your support for this franchise and MV7 doesn’t depend on your belief that MV7 only flipped off one person. My faith in the Vick appologist depend on it.

Also, I never, not once brought up any of the Vick “issues.” You did. In fact, I specificcaly stated, please keep all other Vick “issues” (no matter how prevalente and numorus they are) out of the equation.

Okay, so everyone including the face and leader of an NFL team should be able to do whatever they feel like doing without any reprocussions? Hey, i flipped you off. What’s the big deal? Sorry, now, don’t ever bring it up or think about it again. Pffffft, what kind of thought process is that? Words, symbols, phrases…. they all mean things. Once someone says, does, act or shows something in public it becomes public information to be processed. I don’t care if he just lost 30 games in row. That doesn’t jusify his finger flipping. Again, he is a professional or, atleast he should be acting like one. I paid his salary for crying out loud. How long would your current boss support you if you came into the office and double barreled EVERY single employee INCLUDING YOUR BOSS? I’ll tell you how much support you would recieve, ALOT of it, helping you carry all your stuff out of your office and into your car.

Please, please, oh please tell me that your entire justification for supporting this franchise and this individule dosen’t rest upon the whole, “Hey! He had a bad day. He appologized now move on.” rotine. That frankly, is getting drastically overplayed. He flipped me off, You off, and the ENTIRE supporting fan base. Weather it was out of frustration or not. That speaks volumes for what he thinks about you, me, and the rest of.

Again, i ask, how can you continue to support an organization and and individual like this? And again, i ask that if you do chose to respond please keep all other Vick “issues” out of the equation.

It wasn’t even listed when the warrent was served and less then a week later it was under contract for half of its appraised value. Even the most avid Vick appologist would have to admit that is kinda suspicious.

Remember DUKE LACROSSE. The woman in charge of the investigation has a history of being wrong in relation to dog fighting. Just 2 years ago she took a mans dogs and bashed him the same as she is doing Vick. But evidence showed that she had no case and the mans 40 dogs were returned to him. The DA has already said that he will not have any part with a WITCH HUNT. This is a implication that he has seen nothing incriminating a against Vick you haters.

You’re crying like a girl over something so trivial. You’ve obviously not spent much time with real men who do things much worse than flip birds at each other. Are you a woman? Your emotions lead me to believe that.

Here’s an idea. Go root for another team? Those who don’t like Blank and the Falcons will say so by not supporting the Falcons. Thanks for making room on the waiting list for tickets. Atlanta fans are sorry to begin with. You gonna cry for the rest of your life because Vick flipped a bird to someone else, and not even you? Grow up.

Hey Steve, why isn’t this quote in your article? The AJC has a clear agenda…

‘Surry County Commonwealth’s Attorney Gerald Poindexter has said little but has pointed out Vick is a registered breeder. For Vick to have a lot of dogs, he said, “doesn’t mean a whole lot.” He also said “the likelihood to me that Michael was there, with organized dog fighting and wagering and everything, I don’t believe it.”’

Portis said exactly what he wanted to say and how he said it was on point. If you guys say that he misses the point, then obviously you missed his point by a long shot.

His point was there are other crimes out there more severe and potent than dog fighting, if Vick is doing it or not. He states from his experience that dog fights are as common as ant piles at any given time and place in any state. The reason why things are so exploited is because Vick’s name is tagged along with it. Now here is a avenue that the media can assasinate and dismerchify his efforts of being one of the best QBs ever to play the game of football.

By REGARDLESS, MIKE VICK CAN'T PLAY QUARTERBACK

May 22, 2007 1:15 PM | Link to this

Regardless of Vick’s guilt or innocence, the FACT remains that he can’t play the quarterback position in the NFL.

If I were a Falcons fan, I would be upset not that Mike Vick was a 2nd rate criminal, but a 2nd rate athlete attempting to play the position of quarterback in the National Football League.

Being able to throw hard, run fast and jump high doesn’t qualify you to play quarterback in the NFL. The ability to read defenses and make good, quick decisions, along with an accurate and adequately strong enough throwing arm allows you to play the position. Face it, Vick isn’t “cut out” to be a quarterback in the NFL.

Finger Flap,

Vick sold the house to kick his cousin out and distance himself from those who don’t have his interest at hand. That’s worth more than the $300k he gave up. He’s been advised and see’s the liability that owning dogs and allowing family members to run it causes and wants to be done with that investment. Selling a house isn’t suspicious. The man is trying to make changes in his life, and it’s not about the money. The haters would never admit to even one good thing that Vick does/did. Good grief.

Out of the 70 dogs that were found, only 5 are said to have scars or be malnourished. Does that sound like a highly organized dog fighting ring to you?

OMG vaccination and first-aid material was bought for a dog kennel! It is my understanding that DOG FOOD was even being served there!!!! There are even contracts of people who bought dogs from a licensed kennel and dog breeder!!!! CALL THE FBI!!!!!!!!!

This house was originally searched on a drug warrant(no drugs found) and then dogs were discovered. Now all of the sudden they have been suspecting Vick of dog fighting this whole time???? BS!!!! They stumbled upon a dog kennel, and fighting may or may not have taken place, but there is little to no evidence at this point to tie Vick to it, and the prosecuting attorney himself even says that. Does the media care? Not one bit. Look at the title of this article. Vick isn’t even a suspect, yet “Officials meet to review Vick evidence”.

There were several, several other quarterbacks in the league last year with worse stats and overall performance than Vick. Vick had a better game in the Conference championship against the Eagles the year prior than the Chicago Quaterback who lost to the Colts in the super bowl this year.

First, my gender has nothing to do with respect for other people. To say anthing to the contrary would be idiotic. HEY, look! There is a guy … I’m a guy….. I’ll flip him off because we are both guys. Just retarded. Secondly, I assumed that from my tone and words used, that you would be able to deduce that I no longer support this franchise and MV7. Let me be more specific for you… I have long since moved on to another team, in fact, once i removed my Falcon vail I have noticed severial other franchasies that do things correctly and win. Since the double barral incident I have the best football expereinces. Third, you are welcome for the additional four tickets that i relinguished on that disgusting day. From the responses I have recieved I think it is safe to assume that in the not so distant future gang fights will be breaking out in the stands of the Georgia Dome on Sundays. Forth, MV7 was not looking in one specific direction. He had his helmet on the top of his head, running to the locker room, appeared to be looking toward the ground, and waving his bird fingers to and fro. Lastly, I have driven these streets and roads of Atlanta and every suburb of it for 30 years and I have NEVER…. NOT ONCE been flipped off. And, even if I were to have, I garentee, I wouldn’t be paying that individuals salary. Thank you all for you post. You have have helped me confirm that all guilt that I had for not supporting MV7 and this franchase was a waste of thought.

C’mon Mark- the “benefit of the doubt” argument applies perfectly to this situation. Patrick Kerney has never been in trouble before (as a public figure). MV has. The victim in the case told authorities that Kerney had nothing to do with it. The authorities said they didn’t find any remains of anything in the water bottle.

Now, is the Patrick Kerney situation still a little weird, yes, but if the victim of the crime says he didn’t do it then what other proof do you need? Anyone who has endulged in “the sticky icky” knows that just because the authorities didn’t find anything doesn’t mean it wasn’t there, it just means that there wasn’t enough for a positive test. Now, if he truly had nothing to hide, why the reluctance to give it up? Anyone who has flown in the last few years knows you can’t take your own drinks through security. He said it was to hide his jewelry. Was his jewelry in there? NO! It’s sketchy! People who act sketchy when they supposedly have no reason to act sketchy is just…..well…sketchy!!!

Again, I’m pretty sure if that was the only thing MV had been in the news for in the recent past, that people would have been a little more willing to forgive and forget. You can insinuate that it’s a racial thing but there a TON of black athletes in various sports who seem to stay out of trouble!!!!

Some will argue that it isn’t fair. Sometimes life isn’t fair. You have to learn to deal with the hand you were dealt.

NEJAH DAVENPOOP, do you get the same sense of irony and amusement out of reading certain comments, and the sick thought patterns behind those comments, that I do? These fools have actually believe the crap they post. Take the 10:29AM post by this clown calling himself MR BLANK: (1)”VICK CAN DENY THIS ALL DAY LONG, BUT IT HOLDS NO WATER UNTIL HE IS CLEARED.” (2)”ITS A PRETTY GOOD SIGN YOU’RE INNOCENT WHEN THE VICTIM SAYS YOU DIDN’T DO IT.” (1)Why would anyone that hasn’t been accused, charged, and certainly not arrested(which means their legally innocent), have to be cleared of anything? (2)Being exonerated by the victim doesn’t necessarily mean Kerney is innocent. He could be guilty of being a facilitator, an accomplice, a corroborator or conspirator without the victims knowledge. I’m not saying Kerney was involved in any way, but it is a possibility worth considering.

Consider how some of these HATERS have thrown facts, common sense, the law, and caution, to the wind. How they’ve allowed their emotions, personal issues, beliefs, and in some cases, down right racism, to cloud their judgement. Then imagine these emotionally flawed individuals actually serving on a jury. Suppose that defendant was Black, didn’t wear a suit, wore an earring, used broken english, had a tattoo, and had been previously accused, but not convicted, of committing a crime. Do you think these FLAWED MINDS could overcome the defendants symbolic affront to their cultural sensibilities long enough to consider him innocent until the actual facts have been presented by the procecutor? Do you think they could refrain from being unduly influenced by the media, and public opinion? HELL NO!!!

Just look at how these FLAWED INDIVIDUALS are trying to convict Vick of an alledged crime he’s yet to be accused of being involved in. These FOOLS have even attempted to criminalize noncriminal acts(flipping the finger, missing a flight, airport incident, etc) in order to catagorize Vick as a criminal, thug, pot smoker, etc. Yet other local sports figures, who’ve actually committed these acts, go unscaved by the AJC, it’s sportswriters and these FLAWED INDIVIDUALS.

YET OPENMINDED INDIVIDUALS, WHO WAIT FOR THE FACTS TO BE PRESENTED BY AUTHORITIES, WHO REFUSE TO EMBRACE MEDIA HYPE AND CONJECTURE, WHO BELIEVE A PERSON TO BE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, WHO REFUSE TO BE INFLUENCED BY PERSONAL ISSUES, ARE LABELED AS BEING APPOLOGISTS.

Nobody on this blog has all the facts, therefore everyone on this blog is speculating. Unless you have facts that this about racism that would mean you too are speculating.

IMO to think that MV is being picked on because he’s black is absurd! The MV lovers want it to be about a racial thing but when black journalists start coming out saying that MV needs to straighten up, then what does that tell you? It doesn’t matter that he hasn’t been convicted of anything, the guy has made numerous bad decisions that a $130 million dollar face of a franchise should not be making!!!!!! If Atl. had a Super Bowl or two I’m sure things would be different too but this franchise has accomplished very little with MV at the helms! Let’s not forget that within this long line of stupid choices he’s made that he also admitted to not giving a 100% and quitting on his team!!! This is not some HOF Super Bowl Champion we’re talkking about here!!!!

I agree that racism still exists in this world, probably always will!!! Negative press resulting from bad decisions, stupid decisions, sketchy actions is not about him being black!!!

BRIAN BROHM! 6’5”, 240lbs, laser rocket arm, 70% completion rate. Afterall, a QB’s job is to pass and you don’t do it and when you do, you do it aweful. Then, after the trade, we can tell everyone the real reason you were traded. YOU SUCK! Aurther, please give us a real NFL QB not a RB that can throw.

Vick will be cleared of all wrongdoing with regard to dog-fighting. If Vick says he knows nothing of dog-fighting then you can take that one to the bank. Since reading many of the recent Vick-bashing BLOGS I learned that Vick was the guy who committed the rape at the Kearney home. Folks, you have to STOP the Vick witchhunt because this man has to live his life on the streets of Atlanta. With Bobby Petrino as the head coach, the Falcons are super bowl bound and Vick will earn MVP honors as best player in the league this year AND super bowl MVP. So just let Vick mature as a player and person and watch the results on the football field before you crucify him the way Christ was crucified on earth.

Ken- who are these local sports figures who are these “criminal, thug, potsmokers” you speak of who have been given a free pass by the media? If the prosecutor showed a tape of Vick at a dog fight with money in his hand, and Michael Vick is tatooed on the dogs a*, does that necessarily prove anything towards this case? Not for a Vick apologist. He could have dropped a friend off at the fight, was holding his money for him and obviously the dog’s owner was a HUGE MV fan.

It goes back to people repeatedly surrounded by bad press caused by their own poor choices don’t get the benefit of the doubt anymore.

Maybe it really isn’t MV’s fault. Maybe he’s just surrounded himself with people he shouldn’t. Maybe he’s a victim of being given bad advice. Maybe he should grow up and realize that he has the ability to become on of the greatest. If he continues to play the victim he won’t have more than the QB rushing record.

It’s really sad how Vick has been blasted. Especially by the “HOME PAPER”. It seems like it’s a race divide on this issue. Seems like the AJC will publish rumors on ANYTHING that sheds a negative light on “Atlanta”. We may not have this type of problem if the AJC wasn’t such a “monopoly” in this town. At least we have a few sports talk radio stations. Competition is healthy. Monopolies are subject to corruption. It’s sad, but it appears to be more and more obvious this is a race issue and this “issue” is divided along racial lines.

When Danny Heatley KILLED his teammate while driving drunk, all I ever heard was sympathy from the AJC…not for his teammate but for Heatley!!
The man is a murderer! AJC didn’t blast John Rocker for his comments, nor about Chipper Jones’ indiscretions.

Vick has NO criminal record. Vick has had to learn 3 different NFL offensive systems. Give the young man a chance. He’s one of the greatest athletes that have ever graced our streets. I love Evandor and ‘Nique, and Hank, but Vick has the most potential…

Hopefully and prayerfully, he’ll prove himself to be truly great. Hopefully it’ll be proven in a Falcon uniform.

Of course this has become a racial issue. It’s sad, but that’s what it has become.

Then magically, around the 13 week of the season he will reer up and win a few games. The Falcons will suck as usual (the fan base is accustomed to that so no harm there) and they will be able to protect themselves from any futher self imposed destruction that Vick impose upon himself personally (all this drama) and on the field (with his inability to perform at an NFL caliber QB. By MV getting hurt for most of the season the organization can say, “Hey, we lost our starting QB.” And, they will be one year removed from all this mess and still be able to move him for some good talent and draft picks. Don’t know about BROHM though but it will be a QB. Maybe even Colt McCoy.

You heard it hear first.

To all you people who want to convict kerney review the facts. The victim said he was not involved in any way and she brought the perpetrators back to kerney’s home from the bar. SHE BROUGHT THEM INTO THE HOUSE AND KERNEY HAD NO RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM! Thats pretty damn cut and dried. I believe vick is innocent until proven guilty but it’s immature to rant about kerney because vick is under fire. And to the brotha’s who want to continue crying about kerney the man charged in this rape case is black. I believe that is called irony.

Danny Heatley = drunkened murderer Chipper Jones = adulterer John Rocker = publically pronounced racist (even though he has a super sexy sista as a gf now)… WHATUPWITDAT?! Mike Vick = No conviction, no record, no indictment, no proof.

No one is saying Vick isn’t guilty. Folks in this town have lost for so long, they’re looking to point blame on the reasons why we lose so much… Displacement of anger.

The anger should be on Rich McKay, Arthur Blank, the Smith Family, Jim Mora Jr, and Gregg Knapp!!! Come on family (all people no matter the race that love the Falcons and want them to win).

There were 22 people on the field last year. Vick had only Crumpler to throw to and not to mention he never had a chance to audible. The receivers could not catch. Do you really think DJ’s ready? Do you really think Joey’s the answer?! You guys are gluttens for punishment!!! You want Vick gone so we have less of a chance to win… Okay that makes sense!

I think the truth lies somewhere in between both sides. Vick may not be as disgracefull as he seams and he may not be “guilty” of everything that has been thrown at him but he damn sure aint innocent of everything either.

Falconfan4life, apparently its “understandable” if you speed through Buckhead and kill a teammate. What would the reaction be if Vick was going 100mph and killed Warrick in the process? I doubt Jeff Schultz would continue to believe he’s a “good kid”. What would the reaction be if a woman said she was raped in his house while he was asleep down the hall? Do you think because she stood up and said he didn’t have anything to do with it, that would be the end of it?? Hell no. What kind of company does Pat Kerney keep?? Not a question that this probing AJC sports department bothered to ask. Guess they care more about ALLEDGED animal abuse than the actual life (in Heatley’s case, death) of a person or the assault of a woman.

Hey matt,

When you mentioned ” I agree that racism still exists in this world, probably always will!!! Negative press resulting from bad decisions, stupid decisions, sketchy actions is not about him being black!!! “

Has everything to do with the assisination tactics, ostricization that is taking place, the black ball effect that is taking place across the leave and media posts, villanizing him to NFL fans and idol lovers across the world. When you see this happen to a Black athlete, the prevelance of this is grossly skewed in terms of other players in the league or even sports.

Call a spade a spade. Its just what it is. You and i may debate this with confidence, yet the facts of history remains. Comparative issues are out there to discuss…

Remember that Defensive Carolina Panther linebacker that grabbed hsi caoch by the lapel? This happend during the legal process of the Latrell Sprewell case.

Remember the sports broadcaster from NY ( the one that said” oh a spectacular move!!)that was caught in the hotel years prior cross dressing and engaging in lewd sexual acts. He went thru minute media pressure and assasinations.

We can go on and on….

I love Kerney, but you’re right about the company you keep. I understand that the guy that did the rape “crashed” the party..? I didn’t even mention Kerney because it was proven he had nothing to do with it…

This AJC Steve Wylche guy did say Heatley was a good kid and didn’t mean to do what he did. He was a grown man when he decided to get drunk and drive so it’s murder in my book.

I believe that Vick had something in his bottle, I believe that possibly he knows something about this dog fighting thing, but until I see proof, that should be as far as it should go. The AJC is now like the STAR or the ENQUIRER in my book. No facts only rumours. Basically a trashy paper that doesn’t deserve to line a bird cage!

FalconFan, you agree that the line is trash. Yet, that has nothing to do with Vick’s performance. This is a team game, right? You’re surprised that Vick’s numbers aren’t that great. I have yet to see any NFL QB do much from his back. Brian Brohm would have the same luck with this team’s line. The Falcons and their fans fail to see how to correct this team’s major flaws. You build a perennial contender by having a solid offensive and defensive line. You still need a quarterback. The Falcons got one, but have failed to follow through on the offensive line part.

EDITORS NOTE: This story concerning Michael Vick first appeared on BASN back on January 25th. Given the recent developments, BASN has chosen to re-run this story to reflect on the past and present incidents.

“Charges have not been filed against Atlanta Falcon quarterback Michael Vick. It shouldn’t matter. Vick hasn’t grown up and there’s no reason to believe he ever will. He’s has had enough time.

— Jeff Schultz, Atlanta Journal Constitution. “We are an organization that prides itself on not having off-the-field issues. I think we have done a pretty good job of bringing the right people in here so we don’t have to face these types of issues. We don’t like it. We don’t accept it.It is not what we want.” — Rich McKay, Atlanta Falcons’ GM.

NEW HAVEN, Ct. — There are times when some of us media folk are a bit too quick to become judge, jury, and executioner when a story breaks. Even when incidents become plastered in the public before they’re proven by facts, there are still too many of us that as Axel Foley likes to say “Fall for the banana in the tailpipe”.

We live in an age when folks know who the “Runaway Bride” is, but don’t know the name of their child’s teacher. We’re too busy checking out “reality television” while the real reality is happening right before our eyes. Sadly, a shock jock like Wendi Williams can be considered somewhat more influential in the black community than intellectuals like Dr. Michael Eric Dyson or fellow BASN writer Dr. Boyce Watkins.

The Michael Vick “incident” last week became the latest in another continued series of misinformation and knee jerk reactions that have become all too common within and outside of the sports media business. It was originally reported last Thursday that Vick reluctantly surrendered a water bottle to security officers at Miami International Airport that smelled like marijuana and contained a substance in a hidden compartment.

The bottle was found to have a compartment that contained “a small amount of dark particulate and a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana,” a Miami police report said.

The compartment was hidden by the bottle’s label so that it appeared to be a full bottle of water when held upright, police said. He was not arrested and was allowed to board an AirTran flight that landed in Atlanta before noon Wednesday.

Despite the non arrest, it didn’t take long for the media to do a public flogging on Vick.

The above quote from Jeff Schultz of the AJC was just a random sampling of the kind of backlash that appeared in several local and national reports about the incident. Most folks had Vick traded by the end of the weekend. Needless to say, 2006 wasn’t a stellar year for Vick and the Falcons on and off the field. The team went a disappointing 7-9 and missed the playoffs for a second straight season.

In November, Vick made an obscene gesture toward his hometown fans who heckled the team as it came off the field after a 31-13 loss to New Orleans.

Vick would later apologize, pay a $10,000 team fine and donate another $10,000 to charity. It seems that the airport incident was enough fuel to give some media wags the ammunition to disparage Vick more in print and have him banished from the team.

But this past Monday while we all were still reacting to the conference finals, a unfunny thing happened. The “smoking gun” was found to have neither smoke or be a gun for that matter.

Lab tests on the bottle found no evidence of drugs, according to a memo released by Deisy Rodriguez, an assistant state attorney.

“Based on the lab’s findings, the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office is not filing criminal charges,” Rodriguez said in the memo, adding the bottle is no longer considered evidence in an investigation.

So, were there any public apologies? Any choruses of “oops, my bad” by the media? Of course not. All we got was deafening silence and shrugged shoulders. In many ways, this was just another “he fits the description” incident.

But instead of waiting for the entire event to play out, the media’s knee jerk reaction was to paint Vick as Public Enemy No. 1. Damn his reputation mind you, just look at the final resolution as “Hey, they just made a bad mistake”.

I know some folks will say, “Well, he a public person and should be used to that kind of scrutiny”. No disrespect, but scrutiny is one thing and character assassination is just something else.

We would have hoped that after all the many incidents similar to this that have happened over the years that we in the media would have learned not to jump the gun.

Sadly, it’s just another constant reminder of just how far away from “reality” some of us really are.

As a member of the media, I’m not too of a proud man to say “Mike, we’re sorry. I hope we don’t allow this to happen ever again”.

Okay VickFan4Life…

Vick has the highest winning percentage and winning seasons as a QB in Falcon History.

It takes at least 22 players to win a championship. Granted he’s shown very little tact and leadership but is that really his fault? Championships?! Are you kidding me?! Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Steve McNair couldn’t SURVIVE behind the O-Line that’s NOT protecting Vick.

Who cares about QB ratings….? Vick’s not that kind of QB. He does have a decent winning percentage.

No matter what Vick does, you will always hate him and for no reason.

Bad team, bad systems, bad receivers, bad offensive line, bad play calls, bad draft picks.

This is the first year where I can truly say that Vick has to prove himself to me. I’ve given him a pass up to know. On the field, he has no excuse, THIS YEAR!!!! Years past, the blame was not on Vick…

The Virginia Animal Fighting Task Force, which is investigating dogfighting at a property that was owned by Michael Vick, reportedly does not have a videotape of the Falcons quarterback at a dogfight.

Kathy Strouse, the lead investigator, said informants indicated that a tape exists of Vick at a dogfight.

“Let’s be very accurate here, because some of the reports out there are not accurate,” Strouse said on Tuesday. “We have information from informants that a tape exists of a dogfight and that Michael Vick is present. Whether that tape exists, we do not know that it exists.”

Strouse, the animal-control coordinator for Chesapeake, Va., noted that the Humane Society of the United States offers rewards of $2,500 for evidence that leads to the prosecution and conviction of animal cruelty.

Gerald Poindexter, the commonwealth’s attorney in Surry County, said a meeting was set for Monday to review evidence in the case. As of Wednesday morning, Strouse had not been contacted but was expecting an invitation.

“We have not handed Mr. Poindexter all of the evidence, but we’re ready to lay it out for him,” Strouse said.

Strouse has been qualified as an expert witness in a previous dogfighting case in Virginia. Strouse would not buy the contention that the evidence seized — which included nearly 70 dogs, four treadmills and documents — from the property owned by Vick was evidence of a kennel.

“Absolutely not,” Strouse said. “Not when you find the blood-stained pit.”

VicksK9Kennels.com, a Web site that advocates the breeding of dogs, has been linked to one of Vick’s companies, MV7, LLC.

“Let me be very, very clear: There’s no doubt in my mind that this was a dogfighting operation,” Strouse said, “based not only on what we found at the property but from intelligence, documentation and other evidence we’ve gathered.”

Strouse would not deny or confirm whether the task force had any evidence directly tying Vick to dogfighting.

“That’s part of the investigation,” Strouse said.

Strouse assisted in the dog investigation of the Benjamin Butts case in Surry County in 2000. A total of 33 dogs were removed and later returned after he was not prosecuted. Butts died Feb. 17.

“One of the treadmills looks identical to one we have pictures of from the Butts case,” Strouse said. “One of our officers identified one of the dogs as looking very similar to one of the dogs from the Butts case.”

Virginia officials believe the two operations are linked.

“We’ve gathered some information from some informants that would indicate that,” Strouse said.

Virginia is a hotbed for dogfighting. There have been recent convictions in Richmond, Chesapeake and Spotsylvania. The most notorious Virginia case was of “Fat” Bill Reynolds, publisher of a dogfighting magazine, who spent 30 months in prison on federal charges of sending images of pit-bull fights across state lines.

“We think that it’s very prevalent. That’s why the task force has been formed, because it’s a serious problem in Virginia,” Strouse said. “The rural localities don’t have the resources to work one of these cases on their own. We provide investigators, housing for the dogs and experts to testify.”

Day in a day out, the AJC actively suppresses crime information, ie never giving suspect descriptions unless there is no way it can be avoided. The AJC turns a blind eye to the out of control black schools, welfare mammys crapping out one criminal after another, braindead sheriff and police chief, etc.

Admittedliy I haven’t read everything that’s been reported on this, but has it been determined that if Vick should be suspended by the NFL, and assuming he would have to forfit salary, would the Falcons still have to include his salary as part of their cap? If not, then I say the best thing that could happen to Blank, et.al., would be for the man to be banned forever. Of course letting Schaub, or whatever his name was, get away will prove to have been a huge mistake, but the sooner they get on with life after this $130 million disaster, the better. At the very least, and only if he does come back some day, is to make him a Reggie Bush-style running back/receiver. He’ll never be worth his salary as a QB.

Wassup from Norfolk Va. I was not sworned to keep what im about to tell u as confidential info..

I was called upon 2 weeks ago answer questions about the alledged dogfighting incident,and what I know, at the home owned by Michael Vick.Im an a friend of a friend who i tagged along to visited the people who know Mr.Vick,and resided in his former home.

There are 7 people under investigation. Mike is not one them. The envelopes that were found in the home with M Vick on them were mail that was delivered with the owners name on them.

They were not bills. Questions about when the next dog fighting events will be held or nothing like that.

He got letters from the Vet,2 of them ,and one from a company talking about selling his home.He owned the home,but as soon as he bought the home,his name was put on a mailing list and his cousins were forwarding his mail via the U.S.Postal Service….

The people whom said they identified Vick going to the house,all described 3 cars.All cars were already under surveilance by the police,and none of them were owned by Vick..Thats why you don’t see the AJC talking about neighbors identifying seeing Vick at the property anymore.Its true,they did state that they saw him,but,the cars and owners were already indentified.And none was my homeboy.

I haven’t talked to him,but,im guessing,the only reason he is not saying he is innocent,is because he is not guilty,and he refuse to answer the quesion,”Do u want to proclaim your innocence”?

The reporter was doing his job.But i wouldn’t answer the question either.

With him,its “Guilty until proven innocent”..

Now also,his cousins were on public assistance.But,they were selling the dogs,and they are accused of having drugs in their possesion also.

I know they made money by selling Pits and other dogs.And,still had food stamps on a card.They made good money selling the dogs.I didn’t know anything about them selling drugs,no lie.

Don’t underestimate Mr.Poindexter.He is the fairest Prosecuter that i know of.My cuzz was derailed in some shaky business,and Mr.Poindexter cut him some slack because he didn’t know what he was getting into,but,he did break the law.

Well,i gotta go back to work.

Look for Vick to be cleared as early as wednesday,or as late as next monday.

The NFL Commish wants a fast answer about Vick,and Mr.Poindexter will give it to him.

The reporter was doing his job.But i wouldn’t answer the question either.

With him,its “Guilty until proven innocent”..

Now also,his cousins were on public assistance.But,they were selling the dogs,and they are accused of having drugs in their possesion also.

I know they made money by selling Pits and other dogs.And,still had food stamps on a card.They made good money selling the dogs.I didn’t know anything about them selling drugs,no lie.

Don’t underestimate Mr.Poindexter.He is the fairest Prosecuter that i know of.My cuzz was derailed in some shaky business,and Mr.Poindexter cut him some slack because he didn’t know what he was getting into,but,he did break the law.

Well,i gotta go back to work.

Look for Vick to be cleared as early as wednesday,or as late as next monday.

The NFL Commish wants a fast answer about Vick,and Mr.Poindexter will give it to him.

Wassup from Norfolk Va. I was not sworned to keep what im about to tell u as confidential info..

I was called upon 2 weeks ago answer questions about the alledged dogfighting incident,and what I know, at the home owned by Michael Vick.Im an a friend of a friend who i tagged along to visited the people who know Mr.Vick,and resided in his former home.

There are 7 people under investigation. Mike is not one them. The envelopes that were found in the home with M Vick on them were mail that was delivered with the owners name on them.

They were not bills. Questions about when the next dog fighting events will be held or nothing like that.

He got letters from the Vet,2 of them ,and one from a company talking about selling his home.He owned the home,but as soon as he bought the home,his name was put on a mailing list and his cousins were forwarding his mail via the U.S.Postal Service….

He did not wave his double birdie shot at the crowd..I was there(wassup everyone in section 123)..We saw the 2 brothers(not the slum lords on tv),but the New Orleans Saints fans that he did flip the birdie off on!

They even were jawing at the fans in that section(121 and 122)and our fans held there own..

U talking about him waving his hands up to the crowd,u are just mad that Matt”no playing”Schaub is gone..Believe this..Petrino saw all he need in Matt on film..

Slow footed,freaking weak a## arm,a superstar against anyones 3rd and 4th teamers,and he looked great against a depleted New England team that had 6 defensive starters out and was giving up 250ypg in the air at that time of the year..Even Vicks cousin,Aaron Brooks threw for 343 yards against the Pats…

Stop lying, “for the love of”.

Okay, all you Vick apologists, here’s a little news flash for you. It was HIS property. As in, he paid for it, paid the taxes, had to pay for the upkeep. Now, that means legally it’s HIS responsibility. So taking a moment of suspended belief on that he wasn’t a dog fighter, it still falls on HIM. Get that? HIS. Legally, it’s his mess. Not his cousin’s, since it wasn’t in that person’s name. I know, it’s a hard fact to process, so take a moment…heck, five since it’ll strain your brain. And the kennels fall in the same realm. Kennels must be held up to accordance, or the owner can get fined. Whether you agree or not doesn’t matter. The law is the law.

Now, there’s is no anti-Vick campaign going on. The man keeps making stupid mistakes and ill-informed decisions. Repeated offenders usually get a head slap and wake up call. So is he. If he were a regular guy, he’d probably end up in jail already. In fact, because he is famous, he’s getting a little more leeway.

And all the PETA talk? Hogwash. Check your facts first. PETA wanted to ban pit bulls in a SC town, so I doubt they’d care very much about dog fighting. The Humane Society is the one involved. And any reputable breeder does NOT have quantity amounts on their website when buying a pet. In fact, they make you go through a screening process to see if you’re right for the breed, and to see which dog would fit your lifestyle. Google the AKC and see for yourself.

BY MARK: I can’t judge your overall objectivity, but when it comes to Michael Vick, you are severly deficient. (1) “KEN-WHO ARE THESE LOCAL SPORTS FIGURES WHO ARE THESE “CRIMINAL, THUG, POT SMOKERS” YOU SPEAK OF WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A FREE PASS BY THE MEDIA? First off Mark, don’t put words in my mouth. I haven’t labeled any local sports figure a thug, criminal, or pot smoker, that’s your affliction. The fact you have to ask that question proves my point. Did you know Matt Schaub, the Falcons former backup QB, was arrested and charged with committing felony assault? Did you know Charles Johnson, former GTech WR, admitted to smoking pot? Did you know a rape occurred in Patrick Kerney’s house, while he was present? These incidents combined haven’t received as much media ink as MVick received for missing a damn flight.

(2)IF THE PROSECUTOR SHOWED A TAPE OF VICK AT A DOG FIGHT WITH MONEY IN HIS HAND, AND MICHAEL VICK IS TATOOED ON THE DOGS A*, DOES THAT NECESSARILY PROVE ANYTHING TOWARDS THIS CASE? NOT FOR A VICK APOLOGIST.” This comment proves you assume that people who don’t follow your distorted viewpoint are as objectively flawed as you are. Why else would you make such an asinine assumption. If everything mentioned above existed, I would say he actually participated in dogfighting, and should be appropriately punished. Your personal issues won’t allow you to accept that the, so far, nonexistent evidence you mention above, is just that, nonexistent.

FACT: No media outlet, or anyone on these blobs know whether MVick is involved in dogfighting. Any intelligent, objective individual, with a dose of common sense, understands that. Not jumping on that bandwagon of conjecture, wishful thinking, and/or cultural sterotyping, doesn’t necessarily make one an apologist. It makes one cognizant of the facts, and the law.

The last three years has been a real downer for Falcon fans. Some are for MVick and some want him gone. I’m sorry, but I don’t care one way or the other. Fact is that we are looking down the barrel of another losing season. This is the History of this team, always making bad personnel decisions. This may be D.J. Schockley’s chance, but if he doesn’t work out, we start over with another high draft pick QB. Then we wait another three years for development and on and on and on. If the Falcons continue to demand a new stadium or leave, I say let them leave. They can curse another city rather than us.

JOEBRAVE, I don’t approve of your language, but I approve of your message. I’m through trying to reach these ignorant HATERS. They simply don’t respond to common sense and logic.

I think Falcon fans will have to accept that BFinneran’s career might be over. I had concerns when it was reported that his injured leg had noticably atrophied. I believe our passing attack will be much improved due to the amount of practice, and individual attention it will receive. Also, having a solid scheme, allowing the QB to audible, involving more REC’s, and throwing more passes will help tremendously. Our rushing attack will consist of the largest, and possibly strongest, FB in the NFL, and the fastest RB. If our DEF holds up, this is going to be an exciting yr for the Falcons. GO FALCONS!!!!!!

To me no Falcon Team has been just awesome. Yet Chandler was the QB when we went to the Superbowl, but it was NOT because of him! It was defense… We broke down when Eugene Robinson couldn’t wait to get him some hooker sex until AFTER the game! Chandler was good, Bartkowski was good… Bottom line it doesn’t matter, we’ve never won a Superbowl. All I was trying to say was that out of all the QBs in Falcon’s history, Vick is one of the best… The greatest in Falcon’s history is still mediocre at best. Vick is the only one that has not been proven. He’ll show up this year and all of you VICK HATERS will just have nothing to say. You’ll go back into the shadows and put on you #7 jerseys and attempt to blend in as if no EVER hated Vick! What has Vick ever done to you guys anyway for you to hate him like that? He’s only done his best with the crap that ownership and management has given him…

But until they have present proof and not just rumor, hearsay, and innuendo, don’t talk about Vick being a “Thug”, “Gangsta”, or anything else. Those are just racist terms that are attempts to incite negative reaction from black people. It works because these words have hurt for generations.
Again, a thug is an “Al Copone” a “Tony Soprano” a “Gabino” a “Tony Montana”… Not a “Mike Vick”… LET’S JUST PLAY FOOTBALL! Let’s hope Petrino is the genius I’m praying he is and he’ll go down in history as the greatest NFL coach ever! Let’s keep it positive…

Guilty or Innocent [ As if! LOL! ], I’d rather LOSE with an upstanding, classy, RESPECTABLE QB like DJ Shockley than sell my soul for a hollow VICK-tory with a disgrace to ALL humanity, to say nothing of ALL of ATLANTA, like Michael Vick. What a piece of human slime. With those dishonest eyes and perpetual smirk he wears, who would even buy a used car from a person like Vick? I am sorry players like Shockley and Warrick Dunn have to wear the same uniform with “MV7.”

I used to ONLY hate Notre Dame and ALL New York-area sports teams, but that was BEFORE my city came under siege by MV7.

Just my 2 pennies. Peace.

I’m sick of this story. I don’t like Mike Vick…but I don’t hate him. I do think people want to bring other people down, especially people who will never have anything and are bitter about it. They want to rain on someone elses parade for being successful. Mike Vick is successful by society’s standards of making money and achieving fame. Shallow society.

But remember innocent until proven guilty? Our media today is equivalent to the old “Thumbs down” of the Roman empire. Those people just wanted to see the blood from the Lion’s tearing into a human being. They didn’t care about the person. The media will castigate you, crucify you, vilify you and expose your every weakness…with glee.

FALCONFAN4LIFE, loved your post, except the part about dobermans. I have one now, and I’ve owned 11 over the yrs. I lived in unincorparated Fulton county, and I had only 2 close neighbors. The only time they allowed their children to play in the yd without them watching was when my dobermans came to play with the kids after school. I owned 2 at the time. Believe me, they are what you make them, and every one of mine was special. Most dogs that show aggressive behavior have either been mistreated or not properly socialized. You will have the same reaction from humans, especially children, if treated the same way. Please don’t take my comments the wrong way, I just have a special attachment, and understanding, for dobermans pinchers. They have an undeserved reputation. Oh, and please don’t stereotype them, we have enough of that on these blogs as it is.

To Ken Strickland:

I was just typing to the wind so to speak and was thinking and typing at the same time. I was thinking of every dog I’ve ever seen on tv or movies that was used as an attack/guard dog is all. Heck, growinng up in my neighborhood down in Newton County, the scariest dog was a German Shepherd. So please don’t take my comments to heart. I love dogs. Just scared of those that can turn me into a eunuch with one snap! That would be the pitbulls and the rots and possibly the bull mastifs (don’t know how to spell it off hand).

Oh well, all I know is that when Vick is playing and we get to the playoffs THIS YEAR these naysayers will put on their #7 jerseys and wear them proudly!

Vick has done nothing wrong. Charles Barkley said it well… “Atheletes are NOT role models!!”. You parents, preachers, neighbors, family memmbers should be the role models. Vick is paid to play football.

To those who have been given much (talent, money, fame), much is required… And the demons to tempt are also included in that bag! Let’s all hope Vick can overcome the demons that plague him. Let’s hope we don’t run him outta town like the strip joints and drugs did another phenominal player for the Falcons… Can you say BRET FARVE!!!!!?

I just hope Vick can keep it together and prove you all that seem to hate the human being that is Vick… I just can think of any reason other than it’s racial…

Please tell me why you hate Vick so much and not Keith Brooking who hasn’t done much on the field either. Oh I forgot Vick plays weakside LB and not Brooking. What about Chris Crocker for blowing coverages? Oh that’s right Vick is Free Safety for the Falcons too… Why not Gregg Knapp, oh, that’s right Vick called his own plays, picked his own o-line, and caught the ball that Vick threw to Vick… GEEZ people… I know you’re all hurting to put blame on somebody for our lack luster Falcons, but Vick is the LEAST of our problems!!!!

Think on these things…

You know, life is pretty funny. Vick’s issues seem to bring out the worst in people on both sides of the fence. Supporters and non-supporters alike feel the need to attack each other unnecessarily.

It’s really okay to have an opinion (whether you think dog-fighting is a crime, morally wrong, etc.), but when you make character assassinations because you are unable to socially identify with each other (or with Vick), it crosses the line.

The truth of the matter is, most people who dislike Vick are the ones who hate that the Falcons can’t seem to get into the playoffs or win a Championship. There’s this other annoyance that Vick makes 130m and is not leading his team to the post season (regardless of the fact that it takes a TEAM effort). Furthermore, Vick supporters have a need for Vick to be successful (no matter what Vick does in his personal life as long as he’s not beating on women, getting caught red-handed with drugs, DUI, murder/agg assualt, etc.) because he’s a black quarterback. You can read this blog and see the racial divide.

You have to understand the dynamics of this whole situation, because it involves money, race, envy, politics, and social differences just to name a few. I really believe Vick has knowledge or even participated in the dog-fighting issue. But I don’t care one way or another. I’m a season ticket holder and I just want my team to WIN! When it comes right down to it, don’t you? Does it really bother you that Michael Vick may or may not go to jail or get suspended from the team? And if so, then what? Will you sleep a litter better at night? What, your kids don’t have YOU as a role model to look up to? Aren’t other athletes out there?

FALCONFAN4LIFE, we both understand each other, no problems. This crap about athletes being role models is just that, crap. That is nothing more than a marketing ploy by the sports industry. They know they can’t sell anything with a doctor’s, lawyer’s, engineer’s, scientist, or politician’s name on it. The majority of our professional athletes don’t come from affluent suburban neighborhoods. It’s usually the opposite. Far too many of these athletes/entertainers, upon becoming successful professionals, are immediately thrust into a socio/economic situation in which they are ill prepared to deal with. For some, it’s hard to cut ties to all you have known and experienced, for something you have never known or experienced.

MVick, as well as a lot of this generations youngsters, is a product of his environment and todays culture. These kids grow up with street violence, and in some cases, they see violent sports like c** and dog fighting. They can see violent wars being played out, all over the world, on live TV. They play violent video gms, achieve success, from pop Warner to the pros, playing a violent sport. And what is our solution, blame the victims. Those who create, promote, manipulate, control, and profit from this violence are multi-million dollar corporations and wealthy individuals.

I find it very hard to believe that people, who claim to have no personal agenda, are soooo angry over the conduct of a QB. Yet, they take the raping of our bank accounts by the oil companies in stride. Exxon and Shell are doing more to us than MVick could ever do. Instead of boycotting the Falcons, why not boycott the two largest oil companies. I’ll bet they’ll come off these high prices when their shareholders start losing money. OH BY THE WAY, GUESS WHAT INDUSTRY OUR PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY ARE IN? WE’RE PAYING THE HIGHEST GAS PRICES EVER, AND NOT A WORD OF CONCERN ABOUT PRICE GAUGING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.

All you care about is whether your team wins? How about laws? You don’t respect the laws of the country? How about cruelty to animals and gambling? Those things are alright? The law says they aren’t. Having your quarterback supercedes statutes against dogfighting and illegal gambling? I don’t think so! There’s no doubt dogfighting took place at that home Vick had his flunkie relative living in. The relative, by the way, was on Welfare and could not have afforded the $100 a day expense of the dog food that the sixty-six dogs, that were seized, consumed. Mike Vick paid for that food. He says he wasn’t there but he was. This has become a Federal Investigation and Vick is looking at a long time in prison. The laws of the land, obviously, don’t concern you, probably because you don’t live within them. Your assertion about racism is laughable. You are using the cry of racism to argue he should be given a free pass. You’re saying that his blackness and his status as a quarterback in the NFL entitles him to be exempt from laws average citizens are compelled to obey. it doesn’t work that way. The law is the law and everyone is subject to it!

Anyone who gets his jollies watching animals fight to the death is a demented pervert and I don’t care how good of a football player he is. I want him gone and he will be. He is finished.

I chose to differ with the statement that Chris Chandler was the best quarterback Atlanta ever had. That title goes to Bartkowski. His problem was the ‘look out guards’ he had. A defense player would beat the guard and the guard would yell “look out”. The team would have been Super Bowl bound but for the stupid ownwe firing Bennett and hiring the guy who thought the only good offense was running and ‘three yards and a cloud of dust.’

The AJC reporters are worried about dogs and not woman. You have a pro football player (M. Vick)that is allegelly involved in dog fighting and you have a pro football player and two ex pro football players (?) that is allegelly involved in a rape. But, to this day no ajc reporter has yet to report the name of those players and I wonder why? MAYBE: the statue of the players(money), the color of the players(race), or the ajc’s reporters value a dog’s rights more important than a woman’s rights.

THE MAN, You’d better watch yourself. Your comments contained waaaay too much common sense and logic for these HATERS to grasp. Try this on for size. VA authorities had Vicks cousin under investigation, and certainly under observation, for selling drugs. Throughout all of this investigating and observing, how did they manage to overlook all of those kennels, with dogs, sitting openly in the back yd? Isn’t this the house he was suppose to be selling drugs from, and the one the warrant specified? Are we to believe the authorities never set foot on, or anywhere near that property until the search warrant was issued? Since they didn’t find what they were looking for, drugs, looks like they saved face by pointing a finger at what they already knew was there, dogs. After all, isn’t VA known for being one of the top states in the country for promoting illegal dog fighting?

They try to present it in different ways, but there are only so many ways to express the same mindless theme. They seem to think if they come on these blogs and express their hatred with enough regularity, vulgarity, and passion, no matter how stupid it may sound, Vick will magically go away. Their dillusional fantasies lead them to believe the Atlanta Falcons will hear their constant plea’s, and get rid of MVick for no other reason than to make them feel better. How dillusional and anal minded does one have to be not to realize that no one cares about their personal issues but them. God, it must be awful being that dense.

A-VILLE RANGER, the position I hold is this, A PERSON IS PRESUMED INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT, IN A COURT OF LAW, BY A JURY OF HIS/HER PEERS. MVick, despite media hype, has not been accused, arrested or charged for dog fighting, period. THESE ARE “FACTS” THAT CAN’T BE DISPUTED, QUESTIONED OR LOGICALLY DEBATED. Now, read the 9:04PM post by JB, especially the last sentence. “MICHAEL VICK IS GUILTY AND WILL NOT BE PLAYING THIS YR, HE WILL GO TO JAIL.” According to our constitution, MVick is innocent. Yet, for personal and psychological reasons, this fool says that constitutional law doesn’t apply to MVick, or OJ. He obviously thinks he knows more about what’s going on in VA than the investigating authorities. This fool has probably never been to VA. This is a perfect example of self-indulged wishful thinking. His personal issues and motives completely renders him incapable of accepting the facts or reality of the situation.

I’m being questioned for refusing to accept anything less than the facts, presented by investigating authorities, not sensationalized media hype. I accept that constitutional law applies to everyone, and should not be selectively applied based on emotional, cultural, racial or psychological issues. Anyone that can’t comprehend that position is simply too weak minded to overcome their personal and/or cultural issues.

WITCH HUNT, the fact is, thousands of dogs and cats are legally put down on a weekly basis. When animal control captures a dog or cat, if they aren’t claimed after a certain period of time, they’re put down. Animal rights groups, and some activists, are quick to publicly attack Vick for dog fighting, even though it hasn’t been proven. Yet, they’re silent when authorities decide to kill them. I guess that’s not news worthy enough to get them the publicity they seek. I’ll bet their donations went up when they went public attacking Vick.

Blind Vick Supporters: A few points to try and comprehend. I’ll try to use small words.

1. Not everything has to do with race. Pulling out the race card every time that a black person is criticized is just as detrimental to society and race relations as anything else is. Find a new angle; no one gave a damn what color MV was when he was in the news for winning games rather than bad judgement calls.

2. The Kerney comparison holds NO water. Get over it. Yes, something bad happened in each house. Kerney did not have a rape room built into the house; Vick did have kennels built and facilities on his property to facilitate dogs and he had tons of equipment used in dog fighting. The people living in the house were on public assistance. Who do you think paid for all of that equipment?

3. If Vick were a winner, and if he had displayed better judgement in the past then more people would be more likely to support him.

4. Vick admitted to the media that he quit during the last ‘05 Carolina game, and it looked like he was more worried about his own stats last year than he was about winning (example - the big smile on his face when he broke the single season QB rushing record even though they were getting spanked). Why would you want to support a person that doesn’t care about their team? You wouldn’t see Steve McNair or Donovan McNabb doing that.

I’m sure that I am about to hear the same excuses for the same pampered coddled baby. If you are going to fire back, at least make an attempt to address what I wrote above.

Statements for Vicks defense: The evidence against Vick is flimsy. There is no solid evidence against Vick that links him to dog fighting. ETC……

My Statement and understanding: 60+ Dogs of Presa Canario and Staffordshire Bull Terrier were confiscated having lacerations and abrasions old and new that were registered under MV7 LLC, a Vick owned Dog Kennel. These known fighting dogs were confiscated from a house that at the time was owned by Vick. Yet this is not solid enough evidence to charge Vick with Animal Cruelty.

His two family members that do not have taxable jobs but they are able to pay for food, shelter, and equipment to maintain a $600,000 home and 60+ dogs that weigh an average of 50lbs. The Presa Canario breed weighs easily over 100lbs with some reaching 150lbs.

My European bred German Shepherd (larger breed of shepherd) weighs around 130lbs. He eats around $15 of food every couple of weeks (cheap Wal-Mart brand). With 60+ dogs eating the same amount, Arithmetic calculations tell me that the bill for dog food alone would be around $1,000 every two weeks.

I don’t understand how this evidence is not solid. We haven’t even touched Forensic Science evidence that will possibly never appear. Oh yeah, what am I thinking, I am not Vick that can pay off prosecutors with my unearned $130 Million.

I know understand why Vick’s football skills have not yet reached speculated potential. He is tied up in lies and scandals and hasn’t the time to group together with the offensive team and gel like other successful quarterbacks. I save naming clean quarterbacks from this disgusting article. Who would want to be affiliated with this topic? Clinton Portis?>>>>,,,hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, opps…I do not think that this is funny! I want a quarterback that calls his new offensive line and sits with his receivers during games to talk of upcoming plays and opposing team schemes. His mind is on his web of lies. I supported Vick until the double handed birds. I now despise ron mexico.

Maybe Portis’s next costume could be a mangled Pit Bull.

Okay CURSIVE…

First off, I’m not a blind Vick Supporter… If it’s not race, then what is it? You say get over “it”, get over years of racist “programming” and oppressive systems put in place to always remind black people that “white is better” and “black is not”. Why did the NFL make a big deal about two black head football coaches in the Superbowl last year? It’s because there are so few positive images of black men in the society. Why do “we” (black people) rally around folks like Obama? Because, finally the media has allowed a positive image of a black political figure be brought to the light (don’t get me started on the corrupt Jesse Jackson, Farrakhan, or Sharpton (kinda like Al in some ways)). It’s all about perception. Blacks are just as lazy as Whites when it comes to allowing the media to make decisions for them. We all pick our presidents, congressmen, preachers by the television. It’s sad, but that’s what we all do. I actually check the voting records or people who want my vote. That’s how important voting is to me. Back to football and Vick… The Kerney comparison IS DUMB!! He was proven not even around by the victim herself… And as you stated that the ”Kerney comparison holds NO water”, we all know that Vick’s bottle didn’t hold water either. All I’m saying is be fair. When the hockey player KILLED his teammate by driving drunk, no one was out to hang him the way folks are hanging Vick. Let’s just wait to see what the officials have to say in the end. All this speculation is just crazy. Vick is a winner. Look at his win/lose record. Granted Vick has not shown good judgment on and off the field, but everyone was saying what a “raw talent” he was. I think the only one who tried to groom this raw talent was Dan Reeves. So in that case, I’m not apologizing for Vick only stating the fact that no one has groomed Vick to be a better judge. That’s learned not GOD-given. You can guess all day who bought the equipment at the dog house, innocent until proven guilty!! I was at the game where Vick said he “quit”. It was a horrible game to watch. The receivers were worse than ever (if that’s even possible!). Vick was getting killed because the O-LINE was NOT blocking more than ever (again, if that’s possible!!!). I think Vick lacks tact, but that’s not what he gets paid for. He was busting his @ss out there for three quarters and no could get open to catch a ball, no one could find a seem to rush the ball, and no one was able to give Vick 3 seconds to stay on his feet and in the pocket to make a pass. That game was awful. Ed Donnatel’s to blame for that game. When the Panthers came out in the same formation about 4 times with NO QUARTERBACK in the backfield with a halfback and two fullbacks and the whole world knew it was a run play except Donnatell! They ran all over the Falcons. It was just depressing. I think Vick was trying to say… He was tired of the overall attitude of the team and that started with a stupid coach that fell to his knees like he was a fan and not a professional coach when Rotten White dropped a wide open pass! Again, it’s Vick’s fault. He threw the ball right at White’s chest and must’ve thrown it too hard. That’s the reason why Vick was down that game. It looked like there was no way they were going to win that game. I’d give up too if my team gave up on me….. How can you say McNabb or McNair would NOT do that?! Why did you pick two BLACK QBs for your comparison? That’s the kind of stuff black folks pick up because we are so sensitive about perception. Why didn’t you say “You wouldn’t see Farve or Peyton do that!”… That’s the problem that ain’t going away…

Well folks it is becoming more and more obvious that they don’t have any solid evidence against Vick. Another witch hunt, no conviction. That’s our society for you. Ex loyal Ron Mexico fan your bailing for the wrong reason. You say Vick doesnt spend time with his team. It was reported that he actually spent all spring with Roddy, DJ, and a few other offensive players working on timing. Having owned pitbulls myself for many years, they are gonna fight every now and then, thereby getting scars and all that. They can’t help it. They play rough. They are highly aggressive dogs and you have the be a really responsible owner. If the dogs were being fought I don’t think that Vick was the one responsible. Training fighting dogs takes time and dedication. I don’t think he would have the time to be available. The guy lives in Atlanta remember. In one of the AJC reports I read they wrote that dog fighting is for the bottom feeders of society. Obviously they don’t know their history. Dog fighting became prominent in Europe and was the past time of the upper class. Even in modern day society though you may hear of dog fights in what we consider lower class neighborhoods the major operations are run and supported by the wealthy. Hey I’m not making any excuses for the guy. If he was involved he should be punished but it just seems that the AJC in particular their sports writers have some type of agenda to keep a negative spin around Vick.

Could you shed a little ray of sunshine on Vick instead of wagering the Vedetta you have with him. It is amazing how his hometown are doing as much as they can to show that Mike Vick is a good guy but the city that he resides in want to hang him. We forget that those that fill the GA Dome the majority of them are wearing a #7 jersey. Vick is the reason that the Dome is sold out.

Good morning haters. Just wanted to drop by with the latest update from the prosecutor in Surry County.

— Prosecutor: No Solid Evidence Linking Vick to Dog Fights — Thu May 24, 2007 —from FFMastermind.com

AP reports the prosecutor investigating whether property owned by Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick was part of a dog fighting operation said Wednesday he still doesn’t have solid evidence linking Vick to dog fighting. “I know everybody is saying, ‘When are those fools in Surry County going to get up off their butts and do something?”’ Poindexter told The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk on Wednesday. “But what are we going to do?” Poindexter said there are no eyewitnesses who say they saw dog fighting at the home where 66 dogs were seized along with equipment that could be associated with dog fighting. The discoveries were made during a drug raid at the home on April 25.

BELIEVE IN #7, I really don’t know enough to predict with any degree of certainty what our DL will be like. Both DT slots are unsettled, and that isn’t good, especially since we don’t have a strong MLB. Hopefully, Zimmer will use the DEF philosophy employed by the Eagles, a whole lot of blitzing. However, their run DEF didn’t take off until they moved JTrotter to MLB. I’ll promise you one thing, we will be very active in pursuing DT’s released during training camp. I also think the GJackson issue will be resolved, after all, he’s still under contract, and not a FA.

FALCONSFORLIFE, with all of our flaws over the last 2yrs, poor scheming, play selection, preparation, coaching, player utilization, and injuries, we won 8 & 7gms respectively. With those issues addressed to a great extent, I see us with double digit wins. Our pass DEF and pass rush will be improved. Our play selection, scheming, preparation, coaching, and plsyer utilization will also be much improved. There will be accountability for individual player performance. I guarantee our WR’s will have fewer dropped passes, while having more pass catching opportunities. There will be less predictability, conservatism, and more balance in our play selection.

Our OL won’t have to worry about meeting weight requirements, like they were a bunch of ballet dances or models. They will actually get to concentrate, daily in practice, on pass blocking techniques, and coordination. They’ll be bigger and stronger, with less run blocking responsibility. They will know, when they reach the line of scrimmage, that they, and their QB, can make adjustments if the play or blocking scheme is wrong for the DEF formation. FOR THE 1ST TIME IN 3YRS, THE FALCONS WILL GO AGAINST NFL CALIBER OFF’S/DEF’S WITH AN NFL CALIBER OFF/DEF OF THEIR OWN. WE WILL ALSO BE A BIGGER, STRONGER, AND BETTER COACHED TEAM, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. I see us going 4-2 within our division, 4-1 at home againt nondivisional foes, and either 3-2, or 2-3 on the road against nondivisional foes. Therefore, we should either be 10-6, or 11-5, depending on our injury situation.

Also, just imagine you’re a LB, and you have to engage a 255lb FB coming at full speed. You have to hold your ground after contact, then disengage while attempting to corral a RB, at 210lbs, is the NFL’s fastest. I LIKE THE TEAM, AND THE DEPTH, THAT PETRINO AND HIS STAFF WILL BE PUTTING ON THE FIELD THIS YR. GO FALCONS!!!!!!

If the Fed’s are involved in the case then Poindexter and Brown would do well to abrogate the scene and preserve their respective re-election campaigns. Money well placed can influence a lot of outcomes but federal issues carry a very heavy contingency that may well not be worth the salvation of a sacred son.

CURSIVE, (1)I agree that all comments against MVick are not racially inspired, and should not be taken as such. However, for you to say that no one gives a damn what color Vick was, regardless of the circumstances, it’s an irresponsible comment. No one person is qualified to judge the intentions, and/or motivations behind any statements made under this forum. (2)You don’t need a special room in your house to commit rape. In fact, you don’t need a room or house at all. You stated that Vick had kennels built on the property. How do you know he had them built? What is your source? The house is valued at approximately $750,000, so how do you know these kennels didn’t come with the property? Has it ever been reported that MVick was the person that financed the construction of those kennels? Tell me, do you think a multi-millionare, with a $130M contract, would need to supplement his income with dogfighting? Now I could see his brother Marcus needing to find other sources of income, since his football career in tenuous at best. I can also see Michael taking the heat and trying to protect his brother. I’m not saying this is the case, but you HATERS do love to speculate, and self create, rather than embrace logic, common sense, and “FACTS”. (3)If MVick isn’t a winner, then every other Falcon QB, and most current QB’s, had to be a total bust. In 4 seasons as a starter, he’s had only (1)one losing season(06, 7-9), 2 playoff appearances(02&04, without a 1st rd loss), a conference title(04), and a near SB appearance(04), losing to Philly in the Divisional Championship game. You seem to be too blinded by your own issues to recognize what a winner is, especially within the context of previous Falcons QB history. (4)You criticize Vick for being honest in admitting he quit during a game. Yet Calvin Johnson and Okoye are praised and commended for being honest after admitting they committed an ILLEGAL ACT, smoking pot. Will you please explain that one for me?

Big Ben had one of the worst games, and QB rating, in SB history. The team won in spite of his performance, and we all saw him smiling and celebrating anyway. MVick did what no other QB in NFL history has done, and it may never again be duplicated. Yet you are willing to stoop so low as to critize him for acknowledging the accomplishment by smiling. WOW, just how sick are you? Just how far will you reach to find an excuse to vilify MVick? CONSIDERING HOW YOUR STATED CRITICISMS OF VICK ARE A REACH, MAYBE HIS COLOR IS A BIGGER ISSUE THAN YOU WISH TO LET ON, HUH.

No chance that the dogs fight amongst themselves naturally right? It looks like no charges will be filed, and all 60 dogs will be euthanized. That’s quite humane don’t you think? Might as well let them fight, it’s the only chance they have of living now. Who’s really to blame here?

1. You’re right about that one.
2. Just because they were on public assistance doesn’t mean that they can’t get their funds from illegal means. They were supposedly running an illegal dogfighting operation. You don’t think that was the only illegal activity they participated in.
   1. I concur that the public’s opinion of him would be different if they were winning. His past problems doesn’t help matters.
   2. I disagree with you here. Vick does care about winning and losing. Over the years, his frustration has grown due to the failures of management to improve the team. The receivers drop the ball. The line can’t pass block. He’s given McKay the benefit of the doubt, but the goodwill is beginning to wear off. Put yourself in Vick’s shoes for a minute. Hwo long would you be able to stomach playing behind a team of Spanish matadors masquerading as offensive linemen?

Thank you Ken Strickland for being one of the few voices of reason throughout this entire witch hunt. The bloggers, pathetic AJC sportswriters (all of them), ESPN, and Don Banks (of SI) have been operating under your well described theory of “let’s not deal with the facts” mentality. In general, I am very encouraged by the support I have seen on the latest blogs. I am loving the sound of crickets that I am getting from the haters. Instead of admitting to their wrongful accusations they just stay silent and let the crickets do the talking. Wait, can you hear that, UMM, more crickets.

Anyhow, let’s talk football. I am on edge just anticipating the start of Falcons football. We finally, as said by Ken, will have a real football organization in place. This has not happened since the Dan Reeves era. And in spite of ourselves we stumbled onto 15 wins in the last two seasons. Other teams in our position have done worse. Ask Arizona, Oakland, Detroit, Miami, etc. Now that we have some resemblance of a knowledgeable coaching staff we should, just by their presence, pick up 2-3 wins. After that who knows where this Petrino staff will take the Falcons-NFC Championship, Superbowl. Now the real question is ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!

Also, I like how the Vick haters are now spinning this into some conspiracy theory about Mike Vick paying off prosecutors. That’s funny! Do you think Vick actually paid off the same prosecutor that raided his house??? LOL!

And now they are saying that the prosecutor does not want to go against the big-time lawyers that Mike Vick can afford… that Poindexter knows he can’t win. Uh, that’s the judicial system. If you can afford good lawyers, they can better prove your innocence than a court-appointed lawyer. If you want to see some injustice, go and talk to some of the innocent people that is in prison because their court-appointed attorney coerced them in taking a plea deal.

To all of the intelligent fans and individuals. Have you noticed how these ANAL MINDED HATERS have escalated their level of venumous attacks since investigating authorities have stated Vick won’t be charged? Now these ANALS are crying coverup by VA authorities. Yet their ignorance and personal bias prevents them from somehow seeing nothing wrong with the media making unverifiable and erroneous reports. You simply mention MICHAEL VICK, and their brains go into automatic lockdown. However, for some of these MORONS it’s a permanent condition.

Another HATERS tactic is to ignore the message, and launch an attack against the messenger. This is especially prevalent if the message contains logic, common sense and/or facts. For an example, see the 3:05PM and 3:12PM posts by this HATER calling himself FAN. He totally avoids addressing my detailed 2:44PM post, and made some sorry attempt at sarcasm. Then he makes a really pitiful attempt to give credibility to the media. Yet, he somehow manages to ignore the media’s false reports of witnesses, witness comments and accusations, and a nonexistent video tape. THE FORREST FOR THE TREES.

Now, as a last resort, these IGNORANT MONKEYS have conjured up the involvement of federal investigators. The feds would only get involved if they intended to address dogfighting on a much larger scale, like county or state wide. So far, there hasn’t been enough evidence gathered to charge, and/or arrest anyone, let alone MVick, for any crime involving that property.

COME ON HATERS, GET A GRIP. THE WIZZARD OF OZ IS NOT NONFICTION, AND STAR WARS IS NOT A DOCUMENTARY. THAT’S WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW WHEN IT COMES TO LOGIC, COMMON SENSE, AND REALITY.

Simple. Now this is all from media reports of course but when you find truckloads of dogfighting accesories and items such as suture kits, performance enhancing drugs, papers detailing outcomes of dogfights, several beagles etc etc it is a pretty good indicater of what these dogs are being used for, or what they will be used for. Not to mention they had green slime for drinking water and empty food bowls. For the later alone they would be removed. If your wondering about Beagles, they are the number one breed to be chosen for animal testing because they are the least likely to bite due to their gentle disposition. People is this vile business are not going to use a breed for bait that could actually hurt any of their pits. The pure neglect is enough to remove the dogs. I work for a Humane Society shelter in Chicago and I have seen this a million times over. The shelter I work at is a no kill and we have four grown pits there that have been there over a year. Nobody wants the full grown dogs that came from that environment. Adopting them out leads to culpability issues and lawsuits. If you want to reach into your pocket and build a shelter to give a forever home to thousands of confiscated Pit Bulls by all means please do. The dogs are in the position they are because of Vicks lousy judgement. Blame him and his cousin, not the people who have no choice but to put them down.

so if your warrant was for dope, why did you remove the dogs???????

A lot of warrants have been issued for dope when it was discovered there were stolen stereo’s and AK47’s in full view inside the door. People do tend to notice other illegal activities regardless of what the original warrant was for.

Fan,

All of those allegations came from this crazy investigator lady who also said there were “witnesses who could place Vick at dog fights” and that there was a “video of Vick at a dog fight”.

Here are the real facts. They came upon 60 dogs, of which there is a current kennel and breeding license, and only 5 of them were not healthy. The rest were just fine. That means that less than 10% had any health problems at all. I’m willing to venture and say that most kennels holding a significant amount of dogs could have as many as 10% that weren’t healthy.

What you have pointed out are not facts, but allegations. Just because something gets printed doesn’t make it true(Vick Video)

Chances are, these dogs are getting returned at some point, this investigator has made a fool of herself in the media, discrediting her from future qualified witness accounts on such behavior. Having 5 sick dogs out of 60 does not qualify for a “Major Dog Fighting Ring”

Get Real. No facts, just name calling.

I see that you’re in Chicago. I know that you have the same amount of hatred and even more for Tank Johnson right?

Sixty-six dogs chained up, blood soaked carpet, a treadmill, a rape stand, a device to bust apart the jaws of a pit bull and medication to administer to the wounded. Now who would surmise this was a dog fighting operation? Answer: Anyone with half a brain! Vick says he had no knowledge but WAVY has footage that shows the dog fighting paraphernalia there before the house was completed. Vick says he was never there but that’s been refuted by neighbors and the construction workers that built the house. This investigation is far from over. The Feds need to look into the dogfighting operation and the dope enterprise. Vick is involved in both!

This case is falling apart as we speak. What are the Feds going to do with no witnesses, no video, no hard evidence? Waste more tax payer money. This investigator never had any real evidence or she wouldn’t have gone to the media with all of these erroneous accusations. She knows she can’t get to him in court, so she trying to drag his name through the mud in the media.

Who has seen a picture of the blood stained carpet? When dogs give birth at a breeding kennel do they ever bleed? Don’t you think it’s smart to have a pry stick around 60 dogs that are genetically born with lock jaw? Dogs chained up to keep them from… .fighting???? A treadmill for exercise? Oh the humanity. I’m not sure what a rape stand is, but i’m willing to bet it could have something to do with BREEDING!!!! Any chance that the dogs fought amongst themselves? Any chance at all? Zero?

There may very well have been a dog fight at this house, but there is not enough evidence to charge anyone, much less someone who doesn’t even live there.

Now Vick is part of a dope ring too? Puhlease. Haters need to go suck on their own t*tties for a few days, until they find something else to hate on. This one is getting flushed down the toilet. Whooom!

Don’t waste your time trying to reason with this rancid piece of meat that calls him/herself david duke. Approach him this way, if a parrot, or severly retarded individual, used racially insensitive remarks against you, would you be offended? Would you be able to consider the source? Neither would be able to understand the impact of the comments. They would simply be repeating what they had heard and memorized. That’s how you deal with RACISTS like this. It has yet to demonstrate it can engage in a discussion, and it’s focus is limited to vulgar racist insults. JUST IGNORE IT, AND THAT RANCID PIECE OF MEAT WILL SPOIL.

Now that we know who our QB will be this season, let’s talk Falcon football. When Petrio said he expected Vick to complete 65% of his passes, the statement sent a message. There will be more passing attempts, more passes out of the backfield to the RB’s, and more short underneath and out patterns.

Reduce the number of passing attempts, passes to RB’s, short underneath and out passes, of the top passing QB’s to an NFL low, and see what you get. There will be a lot more MVick type numbers among NFL QB’s. I wonder what people would say if Vick whined, threatened, pressured, and tried to dictate to management like Brett Farve has done the last 2yrs? Sure, he’s won a SB, but what has he done since, besides lead the league in INT’s, his team to defeat, and thrown tantrums. Having said that, you have to judge the man by his overall accomplishments. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. I can make that judgement without taking into consideration he often appears before the camera unshaved, and he desplays a rather unsophistocated down home manner, and speech pattern. He’s still a hell of a QB, and by all accounts, an outstanding person, despite his prior indiscretions, which led to him being traded from he Falcons.

MY POINT IS, IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO, YOU CAN POINT TO SELECTED ISSUES ABOUT BFARVE, OVER HIS CAREER, AND RAISE CHARACTER ISSUES. THE SAME WITH CHIPPER JONES. COME ON HATERS, BURY THAT ANGER, OVERCOME THOSE PERSONAL ISSUES, SAVE YOURSELVES A LOT OF WASTED TIME AND EFFORT, AND MOVE ON.

When the locals head to Soldier Field I’m heading to Indy. I do want to say though that I do not share David Dukes views on here. Animal abuse p** me off and I don’t care what the race of the offender might be. This is not a race issue. I’ve gone to several Colt season ending banquets and had the pleasure of having dinner with Eugene Daniel two different years. The first by luck and the second by request. I found him to be the most personable, friendly, down to earth Colt on the team. And for those that don’t know Daniel is black. Before anyone even asks why I am on this forum it’s simply because I have something to say about animal abuse wherever it happens.

FAN WITH BRAINS, you had better believe it. (RG)KForney, at 307lbs(last yr), was our best overall OL. We upgraded(LG)with(R)JBlalock, at 320lbs+. (RT)TWeiner was very effective power blocking, and protecting Vick’s blindside, under Dan Reeves. WGandy has was very effective power blocking for the Saints, who have always had a power running game(Ricky Williams, Duece Mcallister, and I forget his name, but he’s from GA, attended Clemson, and won the Heisman trophy). Our OL is going to be strong up the middle, and teams will no longer be able to consistently stack the box against us. Dunn will likely be our version of the Saints RBush. Petrino will spread teams DEF’s, attack the edge, and force opposing LB’s to cover our RB’s in the open field.

No NFL LB can consistently cover Norwood and Dunn in the open field or out of the backfield. DC’s now know that the Falcon QB, and OL, can make changes after breaking the huddle. With Dunn and/or Norwood in the backfield, DEF’s won’t dare stack the box and over commit. I doubt teams will consistently send more than 5 defenders at the QB. That takes a lot of pressure off the OL. Heck, last yrs OL would have benefited from this philosophy.

This will be MVicks 3rd HC, and the 3rd system he’s had to learn. In his 1st starting season under Reeves, we gave the Packers their 1st ever home playoff loss, and advanced to the 2nd rd of the playoffs. In his 1st season under Mora, we won the conference title, and fell one gm short of the SB, losing to Philly. We’ll start this season with better coaching, preparation and talent, so why shouldn’t we have simular success in MVick’s 1st season under Petrino.

“Witnesses can place Vick at Dog fight”-apparently not true

“There exists a video of Vick at a dog fight”-apparently not true

“3 envelopes with the words “M. Vick” were turned in as evidence”-apparently not important

“We’ve heard rumors that Vick has been involved in organized dog fighting for years”-a small percentage of dogs with old scars that you found on a failed drug raid is all you have? Classic.

If our OFF turns out to be as prolific as suspected, our DEF will spend a lot of time on the bench. If we’d reached the NFL average in redzone and short yardage OFF last yr, a lot of our drives would’ve been sustained. Sustained drives, successful short yardage and redzone OFF, increases scoring opportunities and time of possession. That forces teams to play catch up, which means they’ll start passing more and running less. With 2 pass rushing DE’s, 2 press cover CB’s, and a FS with CB skills, pass DEF will be our strength. Add RColeman, the NFL’s best pass rushing interior lineman, when he’s healthy, you get a dynamic pass rush from our front 4. Even if one of our DE’s is injured, we’ll still have an edge rusher.

Last yr, the Atlanta Falcons had a lot of talent, especially at the skill positions, but it was mismanaged and poorly coached. Petrino and his staff have watched all of the game and practice film. They know better than anybody what went wrong, and who was primarily to blame. I’ll bet Petrino is about to lose his mind knowing how easy it will be to fix the problems that plagued the Falcons under Mora and friends. Petrino started the process by firing Mora and friends, the rest will be easy, but it will take a little time, and adjustment. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I haven’t been this excited about the Falcons future since the Clampetts, or Smiths, hired (HC)LBennett and (GM)ELaBaron. Now they put together one heck of a team, and I can see history repeating itself under Petrino and his staff. GO FALCONS!!!!

This is not about Vick or Schaub or Schockley, its about doing what is right for the franchise and trading Schaub at the time he did was not in the best interest of the franchise. If Vick were unblemished and a good citizen, then yes trade him, but with his track record and it made no sense to trade Schaub now. If Vick gets suspended and is not available to start the season, MCKAY SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!!!

BOYCOTT THE AJC!!!!! BOYCOTT THE AJC!!!! If they don’t issue a full page apolgy for all of the unethical behavior involving Vicks situation. We have the power people. I’m sure these writers have families and need work to support them. Since no government official will step in to discipline them lets take matters into our own hands. Far as im concerned these guys are worse than Don Imus and he got fired for saying slanderish comments so should these guys simply for purposely manipulating and slandering Vick without proof of guilt. This unethical behavior isn’t really about Vick , it’s about people with the power to bring us all together and unify people they chose to take the low road.

Dear Michael Vick:

Do you see all these warm wishes, “Thank You.” statements, notes of appreciation and congratulatory messages for John Smoltz elsewhere on AJC.com today?

Do you see the sense of awe fans in this town have when Hank Aaron walks into a room?

Do you notice how most people have nothing but praise and respect for Warrick Dunn, your own teammate?

The respect, awe, gratitude and appreciation those men have earned are things a man of your composure will NEVER have here in Atlanta, Mr. Vick.

We all reap that which we sow.

Good Luck With You’ve Sown, Sir!

Sincerely,

An Average Atlanta Sports Fan

Petrino signed 2 of his former OL. As desperate as some NFL teams are for OL, especially road graders, why weren’t they drafted? Our DT position wasn’t all that solidified before Coleman’s injury. So, why did they choose not to draft a DT with the potential to start immediately? It was addressed, but after the 3rd rd, and he was a small college player. Zimmer knows what kind of DEF philosophy he intends to use, and obviously DT isn’t an immediate concern in his scheme. Otherwise, we are in very good shape DEF. Our only DEF weaknesses will be youth and inexperience, and that will become less of an issue as the season wears on. THIS IS THE START OF SOMETHING REALLY BIG.

Next yr, we’ll have about as many picks as we had this yr. We’ll have two 2nd’s, and probably two 3rd’s as well. I’m guessing the supplemental pick we should receive for losing PKerney will rate a late 3rd rd pick. We should also get a supplemental pick for losing ALelie to the 49’ers. They both opted out of their contracts to become FA, and signed with other teams. Therefore, we should be entitled to compensation, right.

With a 1st, two 2nd’s(the one from Houston should be high), and two 3rds, we can address MLB, and the upgrading of our OL, DL, RB’s and WR’s. I think Brookings contract will end in 08, and the 2nd rd pick we got from Houston should be high. If any of you have watched Louisville play, you will understand why I’m so pumped. Petrino uses all of his OFF weapons. He actively involves his RB’s as REC’rs( Mora/Knapp preferred using them as blockers). He is constantly attacking the DEF, and forcing them to adjust to him, not the other way around( Mora/Knapp wouldn’t allow the OFF adjustments, so the DEF didn’t have to). Spreading the DEF, keeping them off balance, and involving every skill position as an active weapon, forces the DEF to limit the # of players it can use rushing the QB(this approach is complete opposite of the OFF approach used by Mora/Knapp).

With a bigger and stronger OL, and a much better coordinated pass blocking scheme, our QB will actually have a pocket to operate from. Plus, with DEF’s having to limit the # of pass rushers, Vick will have the time to prove what he can do as a passer. There will be less pressure on everyone. Compare the philosophy of last yrs OC to this yrs. (1)Our OL won’t have to overcome a DEF that knew, at least 70-80% of the time, what play was coming. (2)Throwing to your RB’s forces DEF’s to employ their LB’s in pass coverage, instead of blitzing. (3)Using multiple WR sets accomplishes the same results mentioned in #2. (2)Having balance(run vs pass)and diversity(run & pass on all downs)always gives the OFF an advantage. With Petrino calling the plays, DEF’s will have to react rather than attack(Under Mora/Knapp, the vast majority of our runs were between the OT’s, and we seldom used multiple WR sets, or our RB’s as REC’rs).

THE OFF PHILOSOPHY THEY USED DARED THE DEF TO STACK THE BOX WITH DEFENDERS. ONCE THE DEF DID, THESE FOOLS DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO COUNTER THE MOVE, NOR WOULD THEY ALLOW THE QB ANY OPTIONS. Those days of ignorance and incompetence are gone. At the end of next season, all Atlanta Falcon Fans will be singing, WE’RE A WINNER! AND ALL OF YOU HATERS CAN JUST GO TO H$LL.

For those people who keep saying Vick is the BEST quarterback the Falcons have ever had, they are probably too young to remember Steve Bartkowski. Bartkowski was one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. For those of you who are ancient old-timers who were fortunate to see Peachtree Bart play, he made throws that were incredible and were some of the best throws made by ANY quarterback. Bartkowski should be a hall-of-famer, but I dont think he will get in because he didnt win any championships and because of his injuries he might not have accumulated enough stellar statistics to make the cut in the hall of fame. Bart was spectacular and was one of the most accurate deep passers the game has ever seen and I thought he was the BEST ever at throwing the home run ball. Bartkowski is the only person Ive ever known to throw the hail mary pass (home run ball) with laser accuracy. In fact, if my memory serves me correctly, it was Steve Bartkowski who invented the famous Hail Mary pass that quarterbacks use today when time is running out and they are just throwing the ball up for grabs. Probably the most famous hail mary pass was when Doug Flutie threw one in his final college game at Boston College that gave them a national championship. Steve Bartkowski had a feather touch on the football that was absolutely spectacular. Steve Bartkowski is by far the greatest Falcon quarterback or maybe the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL.

Dearest cj:

I never said Smoltz was perfect, as no human being is.

As we all know, NO wife or girlfriend has EVER been abusive (vebally, emotionally or otherwise) to ANY man. ALL women are as sweet and pure and innocent as the driven snow. [ Sarcasm VERY MUCH intended ]

If Smoltz, or any man, is better off being away from a gal who made his life miserable, then I commend him. Life is just too short. Hopefully, Smoltz didn’t catch his wife the way poor Tom Glavine reportedly did his former spouse.

… … …

cj, do you praise YOURSELF when you put yourself on a pedastal and elevate yourself as being better and less-flawed than those of us who swarm around you?

cj, do you praise YOURSELF for being so righteous and wise to judge the rest of us?

cj, do you praise “idol,” Vick, when he KNOWINGLY gives women herpes and admits he didn’t warn them because, in his words, he “don’t like to talk about it?”

cj, do you praise “desired man candy,” Vick, when he repeatedly does a POOR job representing OUR CITY on a nationwide scale?

cj, do you praise “Lust Bunny,” Vick, when he throws his teammates, coaches, so-called “friends,” relatives and even his sponsor to the wolves to say his own not-too-bright, dishonest behind?

Keep Defending Vick so blindly, cj, and maybe he’ll let you hang out with him, let you into his bed or even give you some ‘free money?’

Yes, Atlanta Citizens, the average Michael Vick loyalist has actually typed “d-u-m” while trying to insult the intelligence of those who criticize Mr. Vick in the AJC Blogs.

Reports are flooding into the newsroom that these Vick loyalists do not comprehend why quotation marks are used when directly quoting the words of others, typically avoid both The Queen’s English and Standard American English while communicating in a completely different language altogether that is typically overheard in extremely depressed locales and do not realize that a hyphen is to be used when using two words in conjunction as an adjective (that means a word used to describe a person or object, for those who blindly support Mr. Vick).

Once again, the public is encouraged to avoid ANY and ALL attempts to discuss the topic of Michael Vick with ANYONE, as it may be difficult to immediately identify a Vick Loyalist without being accused of stereotyping.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR CORRECTION: Ladies and Gentlemen, in our last report, we mistakenly typed “absured” in lieu of “adsurd” when reporting a Michael Vick Ultra-Loyalist, Hate Radical.

The news brief should read:

A Vick Ultra-Loyalist self-identifying as “wh” is currently running rampant, calling fellow citizens crude names, making wildless, baseless, classless, absurd accusations, race-based hate speech and making threats that border on terroristic. This is all appears to be just for Michael Vick, a person this “wh” person has likely never even met.

We humbly apologize for any and all confusion.

Excellent journalism - please find the Vick quote or mere mention I provided. I simply hate you and am providing hate based commentary that mirrors your own. I do like that you need to repost in the attempt to avoid your stellar writing skills being exposed by me.
Nice try.

Excellent writing acumen with “wildless” - Am I acting “without wild” you dope? I guess this means that I am acting as any normal person is. Thanks for your support after so much previous hate. Please by all means create some more rules of grammar to support “wildless”. How come you never really addressed the “queens English” critique - yes you typed some words but were forced on some sidebar including standard English AND queen’s English - guess you were wrong there also. Oh the double adjective hyphen rule was pretty funny also. I suppose that’s what they teach at Klan Camp.

Absurdity - Isn’t calling a white person black insults “absurd”? Sooty skin, bulbous head, nappy hair while truly vile phrases in nature are usually directed at a black audience. Wishing ill will is not terrorism - merely unkind. By all means please report me to the police so you can be publicly identified. Of course a coward like you would never risk this. A bullet is better than you deserve- I hope you and yours are caught in a car fire and burn slowly and painfully with you going last in the family barbecue. Please feel free to contact the authorities against my evil dreams.

Dookie - Moron? Thats all you’ve got? - If I am a moron where does that leave you? You seem insulted? Go catch for one of your monkey boy brethren - you’ll feel much better as you usually do afterwards. Being labeled an embarrassment by trash like you is a badge of honor.

Would love to waste more time but it appears you are already at a loss of words in defending your pathetic small minded thesis. Here’s hoping to your pain and agony.

Folks, this isn’t about skin color. This is about today’s American culture. I’m going to coin a word called “deservism”. People in today’s world suffer for deservism. They have become overly critical of others because they feel as if they don’t deserve what they have. When I was in high school I was told “Go to college, get your degree, and you can go places”. These athletes have been places I haven’t been and probably will never go and they don’t even have a degree. So do they deserve to have all that money? Yes. Why, because being rich isn’t based on merit. Its based on opportunity. Professional athletes take advantage of their opportunity. Those that throw away their career over drugs and violence are no different than that guy in college who can always find the best party but can’t find the classroom. They don’t take advantage of the opportunity.

I wish people, especially those in GA would get a clue. Be a fan of the sport, be a fan of a players skills. People wait 4-5 yrs to get season tix for the Redskins in DC. Why, because those folks are fans of the sport and fans of the team. They never gave up on the team because Dexter Manley had a drug problem. They understand that no one player is greater than the team. They are also fans of reality. Reality is that real “thugs” don’t make it in the league. Why, because real “thugs” go to jail. Who was the last person on the Falcons roster to go to jail while on the roster?

Has anyone out there ever lived in a city whose primary newspaper bashed their sports teams as much as the AJC. The KC Royals have been subpar for years and they don’t get the treatment that the Falcons and Hawks get. What’s even funnier is that I got into an argument with a Royals fan the other day and he said he’d support them no matter what. Good bad or indifferent. I guess that’s team loyalty. Something the guy who turned in his tix lacks.

In closing, the real Falcons Fans will read this and nod their heads in agreement. Others will read it, disagree with it, but will either reply without demeanor or simply ignore what I’ve said. Simply put, I’m a HUGE FALCONS FAN. My son’s favorite football player is Mike Vick. Should I panic….no….I’m his role model. For the record, I’m neither a Vick basher or apologists. I want Vick to be successful because he’s the Falcons quarterback. I don’t expect him to be drama free because I only see him as a football player. Thus my expectations of him are simple. Play football.

I have been following Michael Vick since he was a high school senior in VA and his career at Va. Tech. He comes from the projects, he is a product of that environment and upbringing, which is why he speaks in the manner he does and holds to the morals he does. HOWEVER, he is not a mass murderer or terrorist. He is an amazing athlete, who is no more, no less. The truth is the Falcons will become the ATLANTA HAWKS if Vick is gone. Period. I for one think that is boring. I INVITE ANY AND ALL RESPONSES.

Why not start a back to England campaign? I’m sure you’re wealthy enough to raise the funds. Get back on the Mayflower and take your queen-loving (how appropriate that you love “queens” since you both are) @sses back to England or specifically the penal system in England where most of your “thug” ancestors came from, not by choice, i might add. You should know a thug when you see one since your family history is filled with nothing but thugs.

Falcon4Life, This is STILL a F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L Blog, not your Anti-American platform with which to divide us all further than we already are. While I certainly wouIdn’t use a name like his/hers and certainly wouldn’t have any of those thoughts, it is rather evident “David Duke” is very much a tongue in cheek commentor. Your posts, Falcon4Life, are the most vile, despicable ones on here….and rereading some of those, that is quite a feat. If you were sexually abused by an uncle or neighbor of a different skin color as a child, I am truly sorry and you have my utmost sympathy. That is no laughing matter. However, you can’t keep all that bottled up as an adult to unleash on the rest of us as an adult. SPORTS are one of the few places our inner children can still go for relief from the sadness of this world. Let us not lose that.

I did not see any hate speech or anti-racial language in that other poster with whom you have a beef, F4L. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a racist. GOOD GRIEF! Calling people you a racist for disagreeing with you over A GAME makes you look immature. If you truly have hate in your heart for people of other races, and I truly hope you don’t, a F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L blog may not be your best avenue for recruiting.

As one other posted noted, this may indeed be the “dumbest blog ever.” (I’ll have to check the Rosie O’Donnell blogs.)

It’s wrong to stereotype and to question the integrity, morality, sexual orientation and sanity of those with whom you disagree. I have seen plenty of all of that on this blog and I wanted to demonstrate to all how obnoxious it is.

In fact, it appears whenever information is released by OFFICIAL INVESTIGATING OFFICIALS, it has contradicted those reports.

HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE YOU IGNORANT, ANAL MINDED, PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND CULTURALLY DEPRIVED IDIOTS GET THE MESSAGE. IT’S THE SAME MESSAGE THAT’S BEEN CONSTANTLY EXPRESSED BY A COLLECTION OF INTELLIGENT, LOGICAL, PERCEPTIVE INDIVIDUALS YOU, AND ANALS LIKE YOU, HAVE BEEN CALLING “APOLOGISTS”.

It must be an awful burden carrying around the weight of IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY,AND THE INABILITY TO PROCESS INFORMATION LOGICALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY. THAT BURDEN, AND/OR WEIGHT, CAN BE LIFTED IF YOU CONSUME REGULAR DOSES OF LOGIC, COMMON SENSE, AND WASH THEM BOTH DOWN WITH COGNIZANT REASONING. TRUST ME HATERS, IT WON’T HURT YOU, IT’S ACTUALLY GOOD FOR YOU. HOWEVER, I MUST ISSUE A VERY IMPORTANT WARNING! IF YOU HAVEN’T GONE TOO FAR DOWN THE PATH OF STUPIDITY AND IGNORACE(TO WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN HEADING)AND YOU ARE MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY CAPABLE OF DIGESTING THESE POSITIVE ATTRIBUTES, YOU WILL BE REFERRED TO BY YOUR FORMER ASSOCIATES(IGNORANT ANAL MINDED HATERS), AS APOLOGISTS. REMEMBER, IT’S ALRIGHT TO BE OPEN MINDED, TO THINK RATIONALLY AND OBJECTIVELY, TO BE ABLE TO REACH YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS INDEPENDENTLY, AND JUDGE INDIVIDUALS BASED ON THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER, AND NOT STEREOTYPE THEM BASED RACE, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION, ETHNIC ORIGIN, GENDER, OR THE SIZE OF THEIR PENIS(IT CALLED PENIS ENVY TO YOUR IGNORANT RACISTS).

Since the raid, Poindexter said, erroneous reports have surfaced that the dogs were malnourished and that many had scarring and injuries consistent with dogfighting. The dogs, he said, appeared largely to have been well cared for, and the only one that required immediate veterinary care had a broken leg because of a birth defect.

Wow, erroneous reports. Only one dog required medical attention due to a birth defect. At what point does the media say “We got this one wrong again, sorry Mike”

Terence Moore is not a hater and he’s not a racist. Here’s what he thinks about the Vick mess:

Feds must expand their presence in Vick case By Terence Moore | Friday, May 25, 2007, 06:48 PM The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Terence Moore One moment, prosecutor Gerald Poindexter is saying there is evidence of dogfighting in the two-story house formerly owned by Falcons quarterback Michael Vick along the backroads of Virginia. The next, Poindexter is saying there might not be enough to file charges.

Now Poindexter is getting amnesia by saying he’s moving forward in the investigation.

Huh? The law folks in Surry County are doing their imitation of Mayberry R.F.D. regarding Vick’s possible role in illegal dogfighting. That’s why three things must happen for the sake of everybody, including Vick, who likely wants all of this to end sooner than later.

Come to think of it, one of those three things just happened: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell got heavily, but quietly, involved with the investigation this week, and he is no Barney Fife.

Here are the other two things that must happen: (1) More participation by the feds, and (2) those law folks around Surry County sending this dogfighting case to the state’s attorney office in Richmond. Sort of like Sheriff Andy Taylor deferring something larger than moonshining to the bigwigs in Raleigh.

Anyway, Goodell wants a conclusion to Vick’s latest controversy. Like now. The longer this goes unresolved, the more chances you have for an ugly trial that could expose a slew of NFL types under rocks with the lowlives of dogfighting. In recent years, Nate Newton was arrested for dogfighting, and LeShon Johnson was convicted. You also had Clinton Portis and Chris Samuels of the Washington Redskins giggling before cameras over Vick’s possible role in dogfighting, with Portis saying, “I don’t know if he was fighting dogs or not, but it’s his property, it’s his dog. If that’s what he wants to do, do it.”

The commissioner was not amused. Despite just months on the job, he banished Pacman Jones for a season after his various antics. When it comes to protecting the league’s image, Goodell means business. So he spent this week dispatching some of his former FBI agents, who serve as NFL security, to Surry County. Not only that, Goodell did so without waiting for an invitation, especially after the league made a couple of calls to local authorities that weren’t returned.

This is just a start. Now the feds must expand their presence in the case. Well, if they haven’t already.

Somebody from the U.S. Department of Agriculture met for two hours on Monday with those law folks around Surry County to review the evidence. Whether the feds just came to assist the local prosecutor, investigators and policemen isn’t known. The feds won’t say, which means there still is hope they’ll take over a case that is too much for Poindexter, a Commonwealth attorney who only works part time as prosecutor in a county of 7,000.

The crime is low around Poindexter’s portion of Hampton Roads, but the celebrity worshipping is high. In addition to Vick, other high-profile people from the area include Alonzo Mourning, Pernell Whitaker, Bruce Smith, Allen Iverson and D’Angelo Hall. So it’s enough to make the overwhelmed Poindexter a little cautious (as in too cautious) with an explosive case that could involve Vick and dogfighting, especially with Poindexter up for re-election at the end of the year.

Did Poindexter once say there might not be enough evidence in this case? Even Gomer and Goober would disagree with that. Along with damaged pit bulls among the 66 dogs found at Vick’s old home, there was a slew of dogfighting paraphernalia and blood splatters on the floor of a room above the garage. The AJC also has quoted dogfighting experts as saying others have been indicted, convicted and sentenced for much less. There is the case of Richmond’s Stacey A. Miller, for instance. He currently is facing up to four years in prison for dogfighting, and this is with 50 fewer dogs than the Vick case and without blood found on his property.

Authorities did discover a dead dog, which probably didn’t help Miller’s case, but you get the point. Those law folks around Surry County need help.

They’ve got the NFL, whether they like it or not, and they already may have the feds, and they should take our Richmond suggestion, just to make sure.

Suppose the media, especially the AJC, was required to verify its sources before going public about this alledged dog fighting scandal. What would these fools, especially TMoore and his fellow lynchmen, have to discuss? They certainly aren’t interested in discussing Falcons football.

Just before hitting this link, I noticed an article written by the AJC’s own resident Vick hater, TMoore. It was listed under the heading FALCONS/NFL COLUMNS. The title of the article was, “FEDS MUST EXPAND THEIR PRESENCE IN THE VICK CASE”. Now, on the surface this may not seem like much, but it really says a lot, especially about TMoore. You see, he doesn’t indicate his desire to have the Feds look into dogfighting, animal cruelity, or drug use and/or distribution, as an overall problem in VA. He doesn’t seem concerned that the entire state is considered one of the nations top havens for illegal dog fighting. HIS ONLY CONCERN SEEMS TO BE CENTERED AROUND HAVING THE FEDS CONCENTRATE THEIR EFFORTS ON ONE SUSPECTED CASE INVOLVING PROPERTY OWNED BY MICHAEL VICK.

He, and the AJC’s have been focused on unsubstantiated, unverifiable, ficticious statements attributed to unidentified, possibly nonexistent close associates of MVick. Then we have the comments attributed to big play Ray, which he has denied., plus the false media reports that the animals were abused and half starved. Yet these IGNORANT ANAL MINDED HATERS reject anything that goes against their preconceived ideas, whether it’s logical or not. They continue accepting every bit of anti Vick info coming from the media. These clowns don’t care how stupid their position, or ideas, make them look as long as it makes them feel good about themselves and their preconceived notions of others. Then again, I guess looking stupid wouldn’t be a concern of someone that constantly exists in a constant state of stupidity anyway.

KEEP THE FAITH APOLOGISTS, FOR WE ARE LOYAL FALCON FANS. WE KNOW HOW TO KEEP OUR HEADS ABOVE THE IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY, STEREOTYPICAL ATTITUDES, CONJECTURE, WISHFUL THINKING, AND/OR RACISM THAT PLAGUES OUR MORE EMOTIONALLY CHARGED LESSOR MINDED BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

We already knew your intellectual acuity was more than somewhat lacking Ken.

Ken is the most hate-filled racist on this blog. He continues to accuse others of being racially intolerant, while he seethes with intolerance himself. The accusations he bandies about and his delusions of intellectual superiority are the last refuge of one who aspires to be of the thinking elite but is ill-prepared for it. Accusing Terence of racism is the icing on this cake. He is, in essence, labeling Terence an Uncle Tom because he has the temerity to suggest that a person of his own race should be investigated thoroughly. Pathetic! Ken Strychnine embodies everything that’s wrong about sport. He is molre than willing to overlook any atrocious act committed by a star athlete. He’s also quick to cry racism because it’s his intention to put those calling for investigation on the defensive. It won’t work anymore Strychnine! People should be judged on the content of their character and not by the shade of pigmentation that gives them their racial identity. From my vantage point, it is apparent Vick lacks character but, still, he has more than you!

WOW, I must really cast an awful big shadow over our little resident racist TINKERBELL, AKA TITOTHEBEAR,DAISYDUKE, MACADAMIA KNUTT/RENALDO MEXICO/RUFUS T SHYNE ,ETC. I’ll admit, my post was lenthy, but it covererd a lot of territory. but we all know our little TINKERBELL read every single line.

IT’S ALWAYS A POSITIVE SIGN YOU’RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK, AND YOUR IDEAS ARE SOLID AND FACTUAL, WHEN AN ADVERSARY IS REDUCED TO SEARCHING FOR GRAMATICAL MISQUES. IT’S THE LAST RESORT OF A DESPERATE FOOL. IN THE WEAK MIND OF THIS SICK LITTLE TINKERBELL, HE THINKS HE CAN DISCREDIT EVERYTHING I’VE SAID, SIMPLY BY UNCOVERING A MISPELLED WORD. WHEN YOU CAN’T FIND A LEGIMATE CAUSE TO ATTACK THE MESSAGE, ATTACK THE MESSENGER.

Come on TITO, stop throwing spitballs at this battleship. I know chronologically you’re not an adolescent. But emotionally and psychologically, you are the poster boy/girl/thing for ARRESTED ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT. You have very low self-esteem, and internally, you hate yourself. You hate yourself, but you try to deflect that self-hatred onto others. That’s why you go to such extremes trying to convince yourself you are superior.

You cruise the net seeking to initiate an adversarial confrontation. You find a comment or idea that you can take an opposing view against, then you attack. Once you’ve engaged, you use your extensive vocabulary, and sick sense of humor, to degrade the individual, and/or his/her ideas. Once you feel you’ve succeeded, you seek out another confrontation. Your need for constant reassurance is much like a crack addiction. The high is intense, but relatively short lived. Therefore, you have to constantly be in search of a reassurance fix. DEGRADING, VILIFYING AND HUMILATING OTHERS IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN FEEL SUPERIOR, AND APPEASE YOUR LACK OF SELF-ESTEEM. You are obviously very good accademically, but you fall way short when it comes to physical endeavors, and you most certainly have problems with relationship(outside of you mother and certain men, no what I mean TINKERBELL).

You may also suffer from multiple personalities, since you are obsessed with posting under multiple names. There is a very dark, racist element in you psychological makeup. You use names like WHITE POWER, AND DAVID DUKE to express that darkness. The next level of of racism is expressed when using names like, MACADAMIA KNUTT, OR RENALDO MEXICO. You use names like RUFUS T SHYNE, AND OTHERS, to express your racism sarcastically.

YOU ARE ONE SICK LITTLE PUPPY, AND YOU WILL CONTINUE YOUR SICK BEHAVIOR BECAUSE YOUR SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES MUST BE CONSTANTLY ADDRESSED. I don’t hate you, but I hate what you do. Understanding you allows me to put your behavior and comments into proper perspective. My mother is a psychologist, and I have a sister that’s a psychiatric nurse. That exposure allows me to keep my composure when very negative comments and/or behavior are expressed by someone that’s either retarded, or suffering from emotional and/or psychological problems, and you certainly qualify.

I WROTE THIS IN HOPES THAT EVERYONE ON THESE BLOGS WILL UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH WHEN IT COMES TO TITO AND HIS ALIASES. DON’T RESPOND TO HIS ATTEMPTS TO INSTIGATE A CONFRONTATION. JUST LEAVE HIM TO HIMSELF, AND HIS OTHER AFFLICTIONS.

Ken Strychnine has launched another hate filled diatribe against me and it’s no mystery to me as to why he does it. He is a hater of low intelligence and even lower morals. What Strychnine is doing is accusing me of problems he has. In the field of psychology this is known as projection. You see Ken, I have a graduate degree in psychology. i don’t have to discuss it with my mommy or sister. I know what it is from my own educational background and work experience. You also have a paranoid component to your illness. You accuse me of using multiple names I’ve never used. You, however, love to post under my screen name. Everyone knows it’s you because of the inarticulate bleatings you leave on the blog. Strychnine, you are, most assuredly, bi-polar with homosexual panic underlying your pathology. When you question my masculinity you are, in reality, trying to bolster your own sagging feelings of manhood. Your self-esteem is quite low, understandably so, because you have no tru sense of your own sexual identity. You should seek help and soon! There are some marvelous medications that could possibly help you. Therapy might be of help but, in your particular case, it will be to no avail without strong psychotropic medicine. Your duplicitous nature and your hypocrisy can be understood when viewed within the context of bi-polar mental illness and your sexual conflict. I, and many others, find your posts quite humorous and quite sad at the same time. It is sad to see someone pretending to an education when they can’t spell and have no idea as to sentence structure. It’s also quite illuminating to see someone constantly talking, on this sports blog, about the sexuality of another. The projection is palpable! You are indecisive about your sexual identity and you focus that on me. We all know it’s really you you are talking about. Strychnine, get some help and quit boring us with you inane prattle. As I said before, we are all laughing at you, not with you!

Ken - This chump isn’t for you

D Duke - I have already professed to being the one who posts under your pathetic pseudonym. Your insistence on picking a fight with someone your twisted conscious feels superior to is a waste of everyone’s time and energy.

The offer - I would like to fight you in an organized public forum with the proceeds I can generate from the beating I will give going to the charity of the victors choice. You see Dookie, I actually have an advanced degree and know I can beat you up and down the block mentally at will. This is not nearly satisfying enough knowing that in this case, more importantly, that I also know despite never setting eyes on you I can beat the living hell out of you as well. I will fund the event and your security so that you can slink away unharmed except for the beating I will give you. I am able to fund this event from my daily account without skipping a beat. This only leaves your willingness to step from behind your self impressed anonymity to accept my challenge. You have taken great pride in calling me out as a coward - I now offer this challenge to see who indeed deserves the title. What do you say? Clever (hardly) rhetoric and anything less than acceptance proves you to be the pathetic louse you have portrayed yourself to be. Think carefully prior to your reply, but I sincerely hope you will meet my terms. I look forward to you accepting my offer.

To all would be DD who would like to accept my offer as a pompous D@*& - I have compiled a list of my favorite themes and vocabulary words from Various D Duke and other posts - I believe are his as well as questions he will undoubtedly know the answers to (particularly in light of his advanced Psyc Degree). I really don’t care what you’re beliefs are in this world and fully understand that you believe I deserve the beating I promised for the challenge I have proposed. Believe me I do fully get this. This is somewhat out of character for me, particularly in the sense that I understand the hateful nature of most blogs. Anyway, Please feel free to hate me and curse me as you see fit but know that I did not lay this challenge to DDuke without providing myself some solid fail safes against the knowledge that there are many of you in AJC blog land who could pound me into invisibility and would enjoy it immensely due to some of my extremely opinionated quotes. Maybe instead you’ll turn out for the event and some good can come of this absolute BS. Thanks in advance.

WH, I know exactly where you’re coming from, and I appreciate your concern. The truth is, I actually enjoy pushing this little TINKERBELL’S buttons. He thinks he’s so intellectually superior he doesn’t even realize when he’s been had. If you’ll notice, he didn’t deny a single element in my analysis of his psychological and emotional issues. His response was limited to claiming I was as bad off as he is. Oh, did you notice the one upmanship. “YOU SEE KEN, I HAVE AN ADVANCED DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY”. This sick little monkey really thinks someone is going to believe that lie. This is a perfect example of his need to feel superior in order to address his low self-esteem issues. Finally, he resorts to his old tried and true. Avoid the issues by making an issue of grammar, spelling, sentence structure, etc. I guess the little fruit cake didn’t notice the one paragraph essay.

Fear not, I’ve had my fill of this little inferior racist. Man, this is going to be a long difficult summer waiting for training camp to get started. There is so much to look forward to. I’m actually more excited about our DEF than our OFF. With a new DE, 2 new LB’s, 3 new CB’s, a new FS, a new DC, with a new philosophy, we are on to something. Petrino and his staff have put together some tremendous talent on paper, and they’re not through yet.

You read me like a book? I doubt you’ve read many books and you certainly know nothing of me. You are the real racist! Every post you slop onto the blog has racial content that is so easily seen through. You make excuses for any behavior engaged in by a black player. Could it be because you are black? Why, yes it could! You need to get to a psychologist immediately and get to work on that sexual identification problem. It’s very obvious to me that you are an unhappy, closeted gay man trying to deny his true sexual preference. Just be yourself. Put on that chiffon nighty and go get in bed with your husband. We, of course, will despise you but we always have. So, it’s nothing new for bloggers to loathe you. Do yourself a foavor Strychnine.

Seeing as how Mike Vick was breeding pit bulls, wouldn’t it be likely that he had a lot of male pit bulls and that those male pit bulls would fight each other naturally as a means of establishing dominance.

WOW, we’ve turned this blog into a bashing contest, and I’m as guilty as anyone. Let’s use what’s left of the blog to discuss the Atlanta Falcons.

(1)Do you think Norwood or Dunn will get the starting nod?

(2)Do you think Fonoti has a chance to start ahead of Blalock?

(3)Now that we won’t be playing a cover 2 zone DEF, who do you think will win the starting FS battle between JWilliams and CCrocker?

(3)How much better do you think our OL will be now that they’re able to add weight, strength, and practice developing a pass blocking scheme?

(4)If we can get our DT position settled, and with the additions to our secondary, how strong, or dominate, do you think our DEF can or will be?

(5)With the additions to the OFF, and with the complete change in OFF philosophy, how prolific do you think our OFF has a chance to be overall?

(6)Do you think JAbraham will play enough gms to have an impact season?

(7)Do you think JAnderson will make us forget about PKerney in his rookie yr?

(8)If he’s the starting CB, how much of an impact do you think Houston will have?

(9)Can any of you envision any of our WR’s having a breakout yr, including JHorn?

(10)Do any of you think that Petrino’s intention to call more high percentage pass plays(swing and screen passes to the RB’s, short out, slant, and drag route passes to the WR’s), and more passing opportunities overall, will get MVicks completion % in the 60-65% range?

REMEMBER, THESE QUESTIONS ARE FOR INTELLIGENT FALCON FANS ONLY. THIS SHOULDN’T BE VIEW, BY YOU ANAL MINDED HATERS, AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEW YOUR HATRED, AND OTHER SICK PERSONAL ISSUES, TOWARDS VICK AND/OR THE ATLANTA FALCONS. ONCE AGAIN, LET’S KEEP THE RESPONSES CIVILIZED, ON SUBJECT, OK. OTHERWISE, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HEAR YOUR HONEST OPINIONS.

That trade of Matt Schaub is looking worse by the week! Michael Vick proved he was a punk when he gave the finger to the home crowd. No person with class does such a thing.

He and his younger brother are both corrupt people. They’ve been given special favors their whole lives because of their athletic skills. All this had done is further increase their arrogance.

It is time for Michael Vick to “go down, and go down hard!” And with due respect to Al Davis, his famous quote has never before served as a call for a better social response to criminal activity.

The trade of Brett Favre was previously seen as the worst in Falcons history. But at least it wasn’t tainted with crime. Vick has brought shame upon himself, his family, the Falcons, and all of Atlanta.

His final stop of shame should be a federal prison to serve hard time as the criminal he is. We should consider who he is and never utter his name again.

I reviewed the comments made here. Sickening to read the words of the fawning sycophants who would reject so much evidence already come to light. Precisely how important is it for folks like yourselves to excuse criminal conduct merely to perpetuate the career of a sports star.

Men have been fairly convicted in court with less evidence.

Property owned my Michael Vick was used to raise dogs. There was blood in one of the rooms, and many of the dogs on the property were mauled from fighting.

Documents have been uncovered that were important enough for police to collect as evidence.

Most damning of all we have multiple witnesses who say they personally saw Michael Vick attend dog fights, supply dogs, and place and coordinate bets.

All of this conduct is felonious crime! It should be the end of the discussions. Vick has talent on the football field. So what!

He and his brother both have records on the field but more importantly off the field! And people who leap to his defense should be ashamed that they place football above respect for the law.

It appears that DDuke is up against it mentally at this point and is grasping at straws in a failing last attempt to regain his self importance. This is not really all that surprising. On many levels I realize I should be happy enough with the knowledge that I have exhausted his feeble little brain. This really is not enough though. I am sure DDuke has his supporters but the vast majority will be pleased when I report back on the physical beating he has received. - I have issued yet another challenge that I am sure will be met with hiding and rage.

They make you think this rug was soaked and drenched in blood but he says it had spots of blood. GET THE F*** OUTTA HERE ESPN AND AJC. Like someone else said, its possible the dogs were not used in dog fighting but fought each other for territory. Whats the number of dogs with scars? From what ive read its not many. You would think that if it was such this big operation more than 4 or 5 dogs would be badly scarred. If he is guilty then yea he deserves what he gets. If he is innocent i hope all these outlets appologize and eat crow. If I was Vick and im found innocent I would never do another interview with ESPN nor this piece of s** called the AJC.

The bad press he’s been getting is only the tip of the huge iceberg, you think all that stuff is all he does ? Cmon grow up.With all his money and high priced lawyers imagine all the stuff that gets swept under the rug and people that get paid off to keep their mouth shut. He flashed all kinds of bling and money at school yet was “a poor unfortunate” just using football to get an education. What a load of horesduty.

Mr. Blank: It’s time for you, sir, to grow a pair. The organization is running you and not the other way around. I am a high-end season ticket holder and can tell you that my tickets for this season will be up for sale in a minute if half of what I am reading about Vick and Babineaux are found to be true. It goes without saying that the seats will not be renewed next season if these two are found to be parties to the crimes and are still with the team.

The Falcons are currently in disarray. They traded their insurance policy in Schaub and have no superstar beyond Vick-who basically puts up mediocre numbers for his position. The defense is filled with average players making top 10 type money. When the dust settles, I fear the Falcons are going to be a cellar dwellar with the highest payroll in the NFL. Very much like the Raiders.

Blank needs to get control of the organization as quickly as possible and be ready to make the appropriate decisions. Besides Vick & Babineaux, he should be ready on the trigger to fire McKay. He has made one questionable decision after another that has hurt the team and the team will pay for those mistakes years into the future. Hire a seasoned GM and let him take over. Otherwise, this franchise will continue to be a joke and I’ll drop by the GA Dome on gamedays to pick up field level seats for $10 like the good old days.

I just read the media report concerning this new informant that claims he witnessed MVick gambling on dog fighting. Unlike you HATERS, I’m not going to jump to conclusions one way or the other. However, there are some serious holes in the story, and you HATERS shouldn’t get too excited. The following are the holes I see in his story:

(1)Look at the timeline. This informant is talking about an incident he alledges took place in 2000, which was 7yrs ago. Remember, there’s a statute of limitations on everything except murder.

(2)Vick was in college at the time, so the NFL doesn’t have any jurisdiction in that matter.

(3)He claims MVick was bankrolling an entire dog fighting operation, and regularly betting $30-40,000. Where was Vick getting all of this money to finance this elaborate operation, if he was still in college?

(4)If this guy really is/was an informant for the Feds, why was/is he allowed to participate in dog fighting? He obviously knew/knows when and where the illegal dog fights were/are taking place. He’s admitted to attending the events, and even alledged he won large sums of money from Vick. Wouldn’t it be easier and better for everyone, if he simply notified the Feds when and where an event was taking place? The Feds could then launch a raid and catch the participants actively engaged in the illegal activity. That way, the informant wouldn’t have to be present, and activily engaged in the illegal activity, nor would he have to testify as an eyewitness.

MAN, YOU IGNORANT HATERS ARE GRASPING AT STRAWS WHEN IT COMES TO MVICK. YOU FOOLS AREN’T LOOKING FOR INFORMATION, YOU’RE LOOKING FOR JUSTIFICATION TO FUEL YOUR PERSONAL AND/OR CULTURAL BIAS AGAINST ONE PERSON, MVICK.

vick can not be tried for dog fighting,unless they have proof of him being at the seen. with out that, they have no case. they cant charge him for anything in 2000 because the state of virginia has a statue of limitations which is two years.

A-VILLE RANGER, who are these unidentified people you, and the media, are imagining? Where are they hiding? They seem to disappear after the media reports the existence of these unidentified, unverified individuals. Why haven’t they been reported to VA authorities? The VA prosecutor has already stated publicly their was no tape, and Ray Buchanan denied the statements attributed to him by media sources. The prosecutor also disputed media reports about the condition of the dogs. The media reports of blood soaked carpet has been disputed by the VA prosecuter as being nothing more than SUSPECTED blood spatter. That’s a big difference to any unbiased, open minded individual with common sense.

Are you saying I am wrong for accepting the information supplied by the VA prosecutor, and other investigating official, rather than the, so far, false media report?

Are you saying I am wrong because I won’t single MVick out as the exception to the law that states, A PERSON IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY?

Are you saying I’m wrong for accept the absolute fact that MVick has not been ACCUSED, ARRESTED, CHARGED, OR CONVICTED on committing a single crime?

You said that you didn’t think I gave a damn about right or wrong. Exactly what is your basis for that statement? Explain to me where I’m being irrational based on the position I’ve just mentioned to you above? I want you to explain to me how I have lost any credibility. If anyone has lost any credibility, it’s the damn MEDIA. It’s a shame you HATERS are too blinded by your personal bias to recognize, or accept that fact.

You know, that’s funny about Kobe. The first think my fat white a* thought was set up.

Layer upon layer of Mike Vick has been unraveled over the last several years. First he was a young ball of talent. Brought in paid millions, and put out to watch Chris Chandler and learn. Then he got the full time gig and it was great. We were all energized, and there was real hope.

You never heard much from him, he was a quiet and apparently good guy. And man when I watched him play…there wasn’t anything like him.

Well, then we hired the kiddie coach and signed Vick to the largest contract in football history. Here’s a note for all of you sadists out there (That’s what you dog fighting fanatics are). He was paid that money for a two fold reason. First to play football and win big. The second was to be the face of the franchise. The mulitple handlers that have to surround him and his complete inability to form simple sentences has proved that to be a really stupid decision by a man (Blank), whom I hear is really smart. I’ve just yet to see that evidence.

See it all boils down to this. Kobe, is apparently an a*****, cheats on his wife with impunity (Just has to cough up some goodies when caught), but he’s not a rapist. It is my opinion from all that has transpired that Vick is not what the man paid $130,000,000.00 dollars for. He’s illeterate, and a bottom feeding sadist. If you abuse animals like that, if you revel in it, if you bet on it, if you do any of that you are garbage. You have no business interacting with the civilized world. You are a cretin and I don’t want to have anything to do with you. And I damned sure don’t want you representing my favorite football team.

And last for all of you cretinous mouth breathers, that innocent till proven guilty is for a court of law. Just like your free speech.

Mike Vick has to go.

A-VILLE RANGER, you obviously had difficulty understanding my questions, or you are intentionally avoiding answering them. PLEASE, EXLAIN TO ME WHAT IT IS YOU THINK I HAVE NO INTENTION OF ACCEPTING? YOU ARE MAKING THE SAME BIASED, UNSUBSTANTIATED JUDGEMENT OF ME THAT YOU ARE MAKING OF MVICK. WHY SHOULD I CHANGE MY POINT OF VIEW? IT’S BASED ON CONSTITUTIONAL “LAW”(innocent until proven guilty), OFFICIAL INFORMATION PRESENTED BY INVESTING OFFICIALS(not media reports that have ao far proven to be either lies, half truths and/or misrepresentations)AND COMMON SENSE AND LOGIC(MVick has not been accused, arrested, charged, or jailed by law enforcement officials for committing any crime). AGAIN, DEMONSTRATE TO ME WHY I’M THE ONE YOU THINK NEEDS TO CHANGE MY WAY OF THINKING, AND NOT YOU? You said race wasn’t an issue with you in this matter. Well, common sense, logic, the law, facts, and/or information presented by reputable sources, apparently aren’t issues with you either.

BY FAN, you seem to be a little slow on the uptake. In other words, you fall short in the area of comprehensive reasoning. There is a tremendous difference between getting information “FROM” the media, and getting information “THROUGH” the media. When the media facilitates infomation presented by reliable, verifiable sources with 1st hand knowledge(like investigating VA officials, or the Feds), that’s information that’s being pass on “THROUGH” the media. When information is generated by individuals associated with the media, who alledgedly gets their information from unknown, unidentified, unverifiable, unofficial media sources, that’s getting information “FROM” the media. AND SO FAR, THE MEDIA, AND IT’S SOURCES, ARE BATTING AN ABSOLUTE ZERO(0)ON INFORMATION IT HAS GENERATED FORM THOSE, SO FAR, NONEXISTENT SOURCES. Up til now, the media has reported 4 sources that were suppose to prove MVick was directly involved in dog fighting(3 eye witnesses, and a video tape). We are still waiting for these individuals, located by the media, to come forward. Even you HATERS have stopped focusing on the nonexistent video tape. What about the half-truths, and embellished reports concerning the condition of the dogs, and the carpet? The VA DA publicly stated the “ACTUAL” condition of the carpet and the dogs. Those reports proved the media blatantly lied, overstated, and/or embellished their reported findings. AM I WRONG TO RECOGNIZE THESE MEDIA LIES, MISREPRESENTATIONS, AND INCONSISTENCIES? EXACTLY WHAT SOLID GROUND ARE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE STANDING ON?

THERE IS AN OLD SAYING THAT GOES: “FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME OF YOU, FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME”. BUT, IF YOU GET FOOLED 5 TIMES, BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE OBVIOUS, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE IGNORANT ANAL MINDED MORON LIST.

“innocent until proven guilty” is a doctrine that applies to jurors inside a court of law. it does not apply outside that venue, so it is inappropriate to cite it as a ‘shield.’ Also, there is federal case law stating that it is permissible to draw unfavorable inferences regarding one who has been indicted for a felony. Vick’s greatest fear is that he will receive the justice to which he is entitled.

PURE ORENTHAL, it would be nice if you knew what you were talking about. You HATERS are so desperate to find justification for you personal biases, and personal issues. You have to be either extremely stupid, or extremely desperate, or both, to make your post. The following statement proves my point: (1)”Innocent until proven guilty” is a doctrine that applies to jurors inside a court of law”. It does not apply outside that venue, so it is inappriate to site it as a shield”.

The truely sad thing about this statement is the fact you don’t have a clue how stupid it is. EVEN IF 10 POLICE OFFICERS WITNESS A CRIME, AS SOON AS THE ACCUSED IS MARANDIZED, HE IS LEGALLY CONSIDERED INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. IT IS MANDATED THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL WITHIN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM ASSUME THAT PREMISE UNTIL THE ACCUSED IS FOUND GUILTY, BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT, IN A COURT OF LAW, BY A JURY OF THIER PEERS. YOU CAN’T FIND IT WRITTEN OR IMPLIED IN ANY CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, OR LAW TEXT ANYWHERE, THAT THE “INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY DOCTRINE IS RESTRICTED TO A JURY AND A COURTROOM. (2)”Also, there is federal case law stating that it is permissible to draw unfavorable inferences regarding one who HAS BEEN INDICTED FOR A FELONY”(italics mine). TELL ME PURE, WHAT FELONY HAS MVICK BEEN COMMITTED OR BEEN INDICTED OF? Why would you bother quoting some case law that doesn’t even remotely apply?

You have to either be extremely stupid, desperate, or both to come up with this crap. I don’t have any personal, emotional, cultural or racial issues to overcome, unlike you HATERS. Also, being open minded, and approaching it from a logical and common sense perspective means I don’t have to embrace stupidity, ignorance and lies. YOU IGNORANT HATERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE EVERYONE ELSE IS AS STUPID AS YOU ARE. HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPLAIN THE CONSTANT FEEBLE ATTEMPTS TO RATIONIZE THE IRRATIONAL, AND JUSTIFY THE UNJUSTIFIABLE. I HOPE NONE OF YOU CLOWNS SERVE ON A JURY.

Even if he is not charged in the case his image and reputation as the face of the franchise will be tarnished forever.

LONG TIME FALCON, let me get this straight. The concept of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY is crap to you, or only when it applies to MVick? Either position should be unacceptable to you. You believe Vick is guilty because an unidentified federal agent vouches for the character of an criminal informant. An informant that’s admitted engaging in dog fighting himself. He likely turned states evidence as a condition of him not being imprisoned. I’m willing to bet he’s now a paid federal informant, and the more he comes up with the more he gets paid, right.

I’m not saying MVick has never been involved in dog fighting, I don’t know, none of us do. At least try to keep your personal, cultural, or racial bias in check until there’s enough evidence to at least charge MVick, before you HATERS start convicting him.

There is plenty of evidence Jay. he will be arrested, charged and tried. He will be suspended, indefinitely, by the NFL in less than a week. The feds also will look into his involvement in drug selling and they’ll also look into his money laundering. Vick’ failed professional football career has come to an end. The Falcons should declare his contract vacated and should pursue dissolution of the contractual agreement through the courts. It will be good to have a talented, decent guy like Joey Harrington as the quarterback.

Actually Jay, it is very common to delay arrests in cases like these while they continue to accumulate evidence. Say what you want people, blind loyalty is noble sometimes, but not when it’s the type of person who gets their kick out of abusing animals. It’s too bad, but I’m guessing the NFL guys didn’t send their security guys over to get to the bottom of this. I’m gonna guess that they know. That they have evidence, and that they’re not going to let the local law enforcement slip this under the rug. Vick has put the bulls eye on him. He probably lied to Roger Goodell, and I’m gonna guess that that is going to cost him at least this year, and that he’s through as a Falcon.

When and if MV is proven to have participated in any illegal conduct then you may condemn his actions, until then some may need to reexamine their own lives and ensure that every aspect of it will hold up to public scrutiny if certain tendencies were ever exposed.

As a Black men, this entire issue goes much deeper than MVick for me. The absence of objectivity, the refusal to apply the law, the willingness to accept media reports rather than official reports from investigating officials, etc is sending a message. Add the personal, cultural and racial issues, and it gets out of hand.

Thousands of Blacks, over the centuries, have been hanged and dragged to their deaths by people with this same type of mentality. I’m not saying all of the Vick haters are capable of such an act, but during the era of segregation and legal racism, who knows. This same mentality serves on juries, and probably applies the same flawed logic if the accused offends a personal bias. None of us has the power to be judge, jury, and executioner, but it doesn’t seem to stop many from trying.

Go to my May 27, 12:11PM post, and you will see how I tried to return the discussion back to football. You will notice there hasn’t been a single attempt to answer one of my questions. So, I said if you can’t lick them, join them. I don’t support Vick, or anyone else, when it comes to illegical, or unethical acts and/or behavior. However, I am a very big fan of due process, and the INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IDEAL. There’s always two sides to any issue, and I just want the other side of the issue to be presented.

I find it disheartening that in today’s society we, as Americans, still find it with in ourselves to pass blind judgment. Historically, it has been knee-jerk responses by angry, irrational, and often hateful people and organizations that have led to firings, wrongful convictions, and even death. I am not saying who is guilty and who is not, but I do know that in the media’s court,the idea of guilt has been satisfied with mere accusations. In criminal court you need proof BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. Some of you may not want to hear this but its true, we all rush to judgment on sensational issues and we are sometimes proven wrong. This reminds me of an old-fashioned lynching of a slave, and its not because Michael Vick is an African American (solely) but because of the blood-in the water feeding frenzy that has taken place and the fact that his life is controlled by the watchful eye of public opinion. If you will allow me I can show you each player’s role. Roger Goodell is the plantation owner, but he just works them he is not really calling the shots. The team “owners” they are the overseer’s, they have to check everyone when they are told by the plantation owner. But that’s never how the lynching takes place, why? because the plantation only runs smoothly when everyone can work, if you take one away you can’t get as much work done. Have you ever heard the story of Emmit Till, or Mack Charles Parker, or Rosewood, or Black Wall Street…well that’s when the lynching takes place. The lynching is caused by an accusation, be it true or false, and that accusation festering like a sore, spreading like wildfire, and outraging the townsfolk. The media is the outraged townspeople, the woman crying rape, and ultimately the lynchmob. They are the one’s that are telling Goodell you better whoop your boy, and Goodell may just be spineless enough to oblige. Do I know if Mike Vick did anything? No (but I he has not been accused of anything and I hope that he did not) and people have been wrong about him before (see water bottle). Do I believe the words of a man that has made a career out of snitching and is now saying people are worried about Vick snitching (well what does that guy have to gain from talking to espn and hell shouldn’t people be worried about him snitching?) I know that right now this seems to be leading toward the lynching of mike vick (not literally) but in effigy by killing his career. Its o.k. to not like him because he went 7-9 or you got mad cause he flipped the bird, My challenge to everyone, including Jeff Schultz, Terrence Moore, and Roger Goodell, is to not make up your mind about his guilt or his innocence w/out any real evidence of wrongdoing and to not play a role in this lynch mob mentality by convicting a man who has not even been charged or accused of a crime.

In below comments Mike Vick is referred to Garbage, an illiterate thug, and a Dumb “Nig”, he’s even compared to O.J. by folks still mad about the O.J. trial (you know the one from 1993). Keep in mind that in order to be convicted of a crime in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA you need 12 jurors to find beyond a reasonable doubt that you are guilty of the crime of which you have been accused. Read the below statements from these bloggers and tell me if you think Mike Vick would have a fair trial with these 12 as his jurors.

Maybe the rape stand will be of use for Vick when his sorry THUG A@$ is shipped to PRISON.Finally! We can wash our hands of this garbage once and for all!

ou bruthas complaining ‘bout the AJC being racist makes me laugh at how stupid you people really are.

If you ever had the balls to move out of Blacklanta, live and work in another state, you’d see how the AJC breaks its back to paint the “black comminity” in a positive light. Day in a day out, the AJC actively suppresses crime information, ie never giving suspect descriptions unless there is no way it can be avoided. The AJC turns a blind eye to the out of control black schools, welfare mammys crapping out one criminal after another, braindead sheriff and police chief, etc.

No i’m not saying that, because I don’t generalize sir. What I am saying is that many of the people that express a disdain for Michael Vick seem to have true hatred in their heart. They aren’t Vickk haters , they seem to be Black haters. They objectify this man and denigrate his character and I could only believe that they would think the same of me without even knowing me. I shudder to think at whether some of the guys would consider me a thug, a gangster, garbage, a dumb illiterate nigg, w/out first seeing me for who I really am. People who express disdain for Mike Vick because they don’t want to be 7-9, I have no problem with that… I understand their argument… but people who want Michael Vick to be guilty because they don’t want him as the quarterback of their football team… I do have a problem with that. Do i think “david duke” is a racist… Hell yes. Do i think that the other eleven bloggers up there are somewhat biased and have preconceived notions about this man YES… and I as a black man am offended by those 12 comments. I didn’t make any of those guys make those statements, so I will not back off my stance that the 12 of them would find him guilty before his second foot hit the ground in the court room. I’m honestly glad you took out the time to read what I had to say… because it means you care enough to want to understand. I don’t assume anything about you, b/c I don’t know you… I do know that there is a difference between a person who wants to have another person at quarterback for a football team and a person who wants a fellow man to be convicted of a crime that they may/may not have committed merely because they don’t like the way he plays football or the way he looks. If I were a person that did not like Mike Vick for the former reason, I definitely would not become the ally of those who disliked him for the latter. (thanks Mr. “my” credibility is shot)

Dear celawjr:

Get Over It.

There are bigger problems in the world to address instead of you and your hypersensitivity getting “offended” over Mike Vick, an apparent ne’er-do-well who keeps making problems for HIMSELF.

People may have hate in their hearts, but people are on here are expressing HATRED for poor QB play, HATRED for poor team and city representation, HATRED for poor treatment of animals, HATRED for those who think they are better than the rest of us who have to ABIDE BY post-9/11 airport security, HATRED for poor speaking skills, HATRED for selfish “ME First!” athletes, HATRED for the content of Mr. Vick’s [ ahem ] character (or lack thereof) and mostly HATRED for losing football seasons. Did you notice no one here is complaining about Warrick Dunn, Jamaal Anderson, Joe Horn or DeAngelo Hall? Hint: There is a reason no one of those gentleman draw the wrath of FALCONS Fans the way Mr. Vick does.

Good Luck to You, celawjr.

Now, Go Take On the Day!

Sincerely,

Dr. Laura

Dr. Laura,

Your point is well taken. I again state that in regard to those who have expressed their sentiments solely based on football, that’s fine. I’m not a the defender of all things Mike Vick, but I will call it like I see it. In regards to your comments about me being hypersensitive, that is not at all the case b/c you can’t make it in THIS society by being that way. I think that if you refer back to the statements that I posted you will see that those statements are either blatantly or latently racist. I really don’t think its a waste of time for us to debate openly about issues because I think it gives us the opportunity to break down walls. You say that no one is attacking all of those other Black players, but no one is blaming them for the losses either, none of them are the face of the franchise and simply because you are not openly racist against one individual does not mean you can’t be to another (it usually shows its face when someone feels that they need to PUT SOMEONE IN THEIR PLACE). Well I guess the other boys have stayed in line, kept nice haircuts, dressed nice, and are wellspoken, I can guarantee you those same guys better not speed through Cobb County.

Frankly, it is shame Warrick Dunn is NOT the face of the FALCONS franchise instead of #7.

For the record, Warrick Dunn is paid FAR LESS than #7, but Mr. Dunn uses his relatively meager funds to TRULY give back to the community and help those in need.

Now, Go Do the Right Thing!

CELARJR, don’t waste you time dialoguing with this fake DR LAURA. She/he/it ignored your well made points, and launched a subtle attack on your character. His/her/it’s premise is that you’re the one with the problem for being offended by vile, derogatory, racially insensitive comments being directed towards Blacks. He/she/it doesn’t see anything wrong with these references, or the people making them, as long as they’re somehow football related. How can anything but a sick mind relate glee in the massacre of 300 Blacks, or using the word n!gger to anything even remotely related to football(see TITOTHEBEAR, alias WHITE POWER, DAVID DUKE, RENALDO MEXICO, MACADAMIA KNUTT). This ignorant clown is admonishing you because you admitted being offended by something that obviously doesn’t offend them. These sick psyche’s seem to think if they put DR before their names, or reference their acceptance of Jesus, they can say, do, and think whatever pleases them.

Like I’ve said before, if this sick mentality can’t contend with, or accept, the message, they attack the messenger. You, my friend, are a free thinker, a voice of reason. What we are experiencing on these blogs is much bigger than just MVick. He is the chosen symbol of a sick mentality that is pervasive thoughout this society. There was a comment by a poster that claimed the constitution law that claims a person is INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY was crap. Another poster claimed this constitutional law only applies to a jury and is valid only in a courtroom. Yet another poster said that there was no doubt in his mind that MVick was guilty, and based it on an ESPN report. Imagine, all of this, and the man has yet to be accused, charged, or arrested, let alone convicted, of any criminal activity by any authorities whatsoever.

Now, imagine these individuals serving on a jury, sitting in judgement on someone that’s offensive to their personal, cultural, social, political, economic, ethnic, religious or racial sensibilities. I have no problem seeing these attitudes being A contributing factor to the injustice that is putting high numbers of innocent Blacks in prison. After all, the vast majority of prisoners, nation wide, being released for being wrongly convicted of crimes they didn’t commit are BLACK.

One more thing, how would you catagorize a mentality that finds glee, and the utmost satisfaction in the massacre of 300 Blacks by a confederate general? Yet, is offend by a Black QB flipping a finger at opposing fans, missing an important flight, being stopped by airport security for possessing a mysterious bottle, and having one losing season in 4yrs. There’s a dangerous lack of perspective going on in that deranged little mind.

Ken you are correct, I appreciate your perspective. It is obvious to me that many of the bloggers here are so blinded by sports that they miss the big picture. Of all the things I said the only thing Dr. Laura took from it was “people that don’t like vick are racist”. I’ve watched and read as you have attempted, in vain, to shed light on the underlying tones of this entire conversation. I would call it dialogue but that would require responses based on the given topic, here it is more like talking to walls. In regards to my credibility and my ability to “take on the day”, I don’t have to validate myself to anyone on here, but dr. laura should know that she is speaking with someone of equal stature. I mean its funny to me that they don’t see that when we talk its not really about Mike Vick, solely, it is about what he represents, and how what he goes through is magnified. It is a mere microcosm of our everyday struggle and although I can not expect anyone to understand, I can hope that those that aren’t blinded by hatred or their love of sports or a combination of the two are willing to hear my side before determining I’m wrong, I’m sensitive, or I’m using race as a catch all argument, rather than pointing out that race, for some, has been their issue with Vick, and with us.

I won’t back down from you so don’t be afraid to discredit my points. I welcome it. The only thing you said anything about was the speeding issue. I have said so much more than that, but all you’ve come up with was a lame, toilet humored joke that would only be funny to a LAME.

celawjr,

You want me to “MAKE [you] think?”

Gee, I wouldn’t want to be accused of trying to oppress another human being or make that person do anything against his/her will, but here goes:

If Mike Vick owns a house in Cobb County where two near-dead dogs lie in a pool of their own blood in an encaged ring in the game room, the body of a young lady Mr. Vick has both infected with herpes and impregnated is floating face down in the swimming pool, a dozen pro athletes and celebrities are on site holding Cuban cigars and traces of illegal substances, a year-overdue copy of BREEDING PIT BULLS for DUMMIES from the Cobb Public Library System is on the kitchen table and half-smoked marijuana joints are littered throughout the property when the COBB COUNTY POLICE suddenly arrive on the scene in large numbers, to what county does Michael Vick then flee in order to try to keep himself out of trouble and how would he most expeditiously get there?

BREAKING NEWS: We have just been informed KEN STRICKLAND and CELAWJR are one and the same angry person who is trying to make himself appear of “SUPERIOR INTELLECT” by insulting other bloggers who came here to discuss various components and members of the ATLANTA FALCONS FOOTBALL TEAM.

ATLANTANS are encouraged to use extreme caution when encountering with this malicious blogger.

As updates continue to pour into the newsroom, we have just learned KEN STICKLAND/CELAWJR is currently targeting residents of Conservative Cobb County and is apparently unable to recognize when Cobb taxpayers are refusing to take him or his ranting seriously.

Witnesses now claim that KEN STICKLAND/CELAWJR is moving to the northeast toward North Fulton & Forsyth County as has now been elevated to bragging to everyone about how “PAID,” “CONFIDENT” and “INTELLIGENT” he is, completely oblivious to the fact that no one really seems to care.

We will continue to follow this breaking story as KEN STICKLAND/CELAWJR continues to blatantly insult and belittle other citizens who just wish to add their views, against conventional wisdom, of beloved Atlanta sports icon Michael Vick and the ATLANTA FALCONS in repeated attempts of this blogger to evade his own internal issues and insecurities at the expense of others.

Ken, I see your efforts to try to open some people’s eyes and I sympathize with you. I do believe however that you should continue writing your blogs not for the people who do respond, but for those who don’t respond. It is not my hope that I get a rise out of someone and make them want to start an INTERNET ARGUMENT with me, my hope is that someone will hear my side and take it for what it is. I try to be objective and sound in the statements I make, and it takes effort to not retort with hate, anger, or an equal degree of ignorance. I’m really open-minded when it comes to this issue so that’s why I want to talk with somebody that doesn’t share my view. (I realize that not everyone likes to talk with people they disagree with and I can live with that). I just hope to learn something and teach something in return. Some people will see it as you mocking them when you attempt to talk to them intelligently (I see it as me not acting like a fool). They say you attract more bees with honey than you do with vinegar, so I won’t call people names, I won’t curse people out, I won’t respond to racist comments. I will continue to speak intelligently and think with an open mind, and hope… that someone manages to read this and leave with a little more wisdom than had before and that I in turn can do the same.

I’m excited about the birds this year… i check out the site like everyday. I really think Chris Houston will make a good compliment to D. Hall and I think J williams will be able to come in make some impact at the free safety position. Its exciting because the defense is moving away from the cover two type of scheme and toward a more agressive man coverage scheme. Imagine if both J. Anderson and C. Houston both start to Flourish as compliments to Abraham and Hall it could be quite a site. They have also got some depth at the the LB position with stephen nicholas and tony taylor.

On the offensive side they picked up some big boys like Blalock, Datish, and the two Louisville guys in Free agency (both over 330). That’s a lot more Beef up front than the last few years. I hope Norwood/Dunn have a prolific season but I would like for Jerious to take on the primary role. And I’m excited to see Vick and the Petrino passing attack. Joe Horn is going to get it going this year… he has a look of determination in his eyes that I hope spreads to the other receivers. I like Vincent Marshall a rookie receiver out of Houston to make the team. A sleeper (wide receiever). I think that if this team lives up to its talent its poised for a deep run.

By Ken Strickland

May 30, 2007 12:53 AM | Link to this

We signed Fonoti(350lbs)at LG, which means Blalock isn’t a lock to start. If Fonoti gets his wt down, and has a good training camp, he’ll probably start ahead of Blalock. If Blalock gets the starting nod, I see Fonoti having trouble controlling his wt sitting on the bench. There’s also the shoulder issue of RG KForney, who’s coming off shoulder surgery. Regardless of who starts, our OL won’t get blown off the ball like it has the last 2yrs.

Our DEF has the talent and potential to be dominant, especially against the pass. If DE JAnderson plays up to his potential, and JAbraham stays relatively healthy, our outside pass rush will be awesome. I just don’t know what to expect at this point from our rushing DEF. The most amazing thing about Petrino is how much he’s turning this roster over, while upgrading the overall talent level. This team is going to sneak up on everybody, like it did in 04. The difference will be in Petrino and his staff’s ability to counter any adjustments made by DC’s. That was the biggest weakness of Mora and his sorry staff. GO FALCONS!!!!!!!

And for you Falcon fans, we know have a coach who WILL pass the football and allow audibles to are fenom quarterback, i say shut your stupid mouths because you dont know or appreciate talent if it slapped you in the face.
