I just about fell outa my chair laughing when I read this... :rofl: :haha:

"I've overcome a lot, more than probably one single individual can handle or bear," Vick said. "You ask certain people to walk through my shoes, they probably couldn't do. Probably 95 percent of the people in this world because nobody had to endure what I've been through, situations I've been put in, situations I put myself in and decisions I have made, whether they have been good or bad.

Whata freakin *****..I suppose because he's a professional athlete Life must really be a bitch..

Poor *** still has his head in his ass. B)

:jester:

Yep, so common for some pro athletes and celebrities to be out of touch with reality. Unfortunately, this type of recognition only further perpetuates it.

Scumbag in my opinion. Nothing he can do will change that. Unless he shoots himself. I'd have more respepct for him then.

A real paragon of sportsmanship and courage.

Must have taken courage watching dogs tear themselves apart and killing other dogs.

A true sportsman my ass.

He must need a huge helmet to hold that ego.

This just in; Hitler has just been awarded the European "Ed Block Courage Award" for not having killed one Jew since May of 1945. For those of you keeping track, that's 64 years of courage.

What were his teammates thinking, and how the hell does Michael Vick show up at the award dinner honoring all the winners? It reminds me of all the Hollywood glitterati protesting the audacity of actually arresting Roman Polanski for drugging and raping that 13 year old girl (13 years old!). Maybe he's another possible recipient ("Our next honoree has not raped an single underage girl, that we know about, since the 70's).

 

[DELETE-PLEASE]

Just a PR thing in order to try to get him to be viewed as "not as bad". I'm sure the Eagle's team/coach/owner and anyone associated with them took a big risk and lost a lot of fans and respect for signing him. So as a way to try to regain those people they lost, they give him some award and talk about how he 'deserved' it because he's 'changed'.

Basically the story of "The prodigal son". Boy does everything right all the time, gets no recognition. The one that has lived a bad life, when he decides to try to be good, get's a huge ass parade for 'changing his ways'.

******** in my book.

Strange as it sounds, it takes courage to shoot yourself. Lot of folks in the ER with half a face, as they chickened out, just a little too late. Just like OJ wasn't going to ever kill himself in the white Bronco, Vick would never have the balls to shoot himself.

True dat..

I know of four who tried. Only one managed to do it right the first time, two had to try again and one still lives..

Is there really anything that bad folks have to resort to this?

:jester:

What the hell...

It takes some serious effort to be that big of a ******-tard.

Courage is the Pat Tillman's of AZ , drops out of football and the $$ to join the Rangers and gets KIA. M. Vick getting it is a farce.
