ThePebble19 Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 More fuel to the fire.................. Whitner's tweet last night.... "I'd love to have Mike Vick as a teammate! The guy is unbelievable...he made a mistake, but haven't we all??"
/dev/null Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I bet the real truth is Vick ordered "Buffalo wings" while at a restaurant and someone heard "Buffalo" and texted their friend...and so on. text 1: Vick wants Buffalo wings text 2 - with typo: Vick wants Buffalo sings text 3 - assumed correction of typo: Buffalo to sign Vick? It's that easy
buffaloaggie Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 FWIW Not that I believe it but I just heard a third-hand rumor that Vick flew into Buffalo tonite. Just saying. More fuel to substantiate this...it came from a friend of a friend (blah, blah), but they said around 6:30 last night, Vick rented a car from National at the Buffalo Airport. I'd be really surprised if the Vick entourage could avoid all media and sneak into town undetected, but honestly, when you hear it from multiple sources (and I purposely didn't post this last night until I saw someone else post about the rumor of him being in town), you have to wonder if there is some credibility to these rumors. Again, it's what I heard, so now I'm just sayin'. Maybe it's just a conspiracy set up by an Airport Security guy, a car rental agent, and a hotel clerk.
May Day 10 Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I am anti-Vick. But witnessing the diahreah called Fitzpatrick makes me panic about the season. Something needs to be done at the QB position for sure. Can I get behind Vick? No. But my seasons are already paid for and my tailgates are planned.

Again, it's what I heard, so now I'm just sayin'. Yes, he isn't incognito, as there have been sightings, but NO legit reports about it. Maybe it was a sports reporter and paparazzi holiday, or something. Sure, he's in Buffalo.

dollars 2 donuts Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I have to get this on record, but anyone who's spent five minutes with me knows this already ... I don't want him here. I still can't forgive the nature of what he did. I am an animal lover. All three of my cats ae rescues. A crime against a domestic animal is particularly aggregious because they are ... well, DOMESTIC. They are bred to trust us. It's not like shooting a bear or a deer while hunting. You don't say "Here, bear..." and the bear comes running - eyes wide with unconditional trust - to be shot. What Vick did would not allow me to ever pay money to support a team that signs him. Including my beloved Bills. And again, if you know me, you know what it takes to say that... Fan since '68 ... attended 275 games (so far) ... It would take a LOT to get me to boycot. This would qualify. Two cats right now and I hope to get a dog some day. I couldn't agree with you more, Petrino. I can forgive Michael Vick, but I don't think I can forget enough to cheer for the guy when he crosses the endzone in a Bills jersey. ...sorry, I just can't. PS - sorry to make this more horrible, but during an episode of Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel last year I saw in a story they were doing on dog fighting that they will kidnap long since domesticated and gentle dogs out of people's yards, tape their mouths shut, and let them be tortured as training fodder for the fight dogs. ...so, you out there tell me that I should cheer for him?

Fan in Chicago Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 The "Vick is in Buffalo" rumor is all over Twitter too. Twitter ? Really ? Tell me it is over Facebook and I will believe you. But seriously, there is inconsistency in these rumors. One said he flew into Buffalo relatively late at night. Another says he rented a National car ~ 6:30 pm. So one of them is wrong (I hope all of them are)

(actually, maybe you do, may be you don't) Hey, I am glad you are a hunter, hell, I love hunters, you want to bring the venison over my friend, I will give you the address and i promise to do it up in the the skillet to make it nice and juicy...mmmm deer meat!!! The mistake, is grilling it, too lean to grill!!! Check Petrino's post who I quoted from, I was mainly agreeing with his thoughts. However, i highly doubt, as a dog owner, you would do what was indicated in that Real Sports story. if you did though, I doubt I would cheer for you.
Peevo Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Adam Schefter tweeted that Buffalo and Dallas are sleeper teams on Vick. Thank god for tweets. http://twitter.com/Adam_Schefter
scribo Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 http://twitter.com/Adam_Schefter This holds a lot of water with me. Schefter is the man. More fuel to the fire.................. Whitner's tweet last night.... "I'd love to have Mike Vick as a teammate! The guy is unbelievable...he made a mistake, but haven't we all??" Donte has Tweeted about other players in the recent past, most notable that linebacker from St. Louis. He signed elsewhere. But I do think he'd know if Vick was in town or even being seriously considered. Then again, if he was privy to that info, wouldn't he be told to keep it quiet? I think the backlash would be terrible, but we need a backup. The team has shown it is willing to go all in now.

One said he flew into Buffalo relatively late at night. Another says he rented a National car ~ 6:30 pm. So one of them is wrong (I hope all of them are) We can get a team together to piece together a timeline of Vick's alleged movements. Anyone have a rumored sighting of him eating last night? Maybe a dog fight somewhere? I heard what I heard, but I'll wait until it's posted somewhere in the media before I believe it. If they sign him, my seasons are going up for sale ASAP If they're good seats, I'm all over them!
rpcolosi Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 rpcolosi, no offense my friend and fellow bills fan, but you are missing my point, well, some of my point, that's cool, though.

However, i highly doubt, as a dog owner, you would do what was indicated in that Real Sports story. if you did though, I doubt I would cheer for you. obviously i hate, absolutely hate what vick did. And i see the entire moral dilemma with it, but I can forgive the guy for that. It's a mistake, a big mistake, but its not a human life. I guess what gets me is how a guy like Vick is put away for what, 2 years? for some horrible acts done to dogs, living creatures yes, btu still dogs. While a guy like Donte Stallworth and be wasted and kill a HUMAN BEING and get a month. Obviously this is far more political than the normal stuff I talk about on here, but it blows my mind. That guy, no way, no how, should be allowed back into the NFL. I think Goodell is a straight shooter so he will really F up Stallworths come back, if its even allowed. But I think Vick has really taken on a huge penalty for his sins, and I think his stardom is part of the reason people came down so hard on him - to really make an example. I really hope we don't get him, I do not want a QB controversy here. That said, if TE gets hurt - i'd much much rather him take over than fitzpatrick. and if at that point he outplays TE, then fine. But I stand by the notion TE was 7-5 when he wasn't hurt last year. if he can beat some of the AFC East teams this year, we have a legit shot. And I am afraid Vick culd mess that up.

Well said, my friend, and, although i would hate it, would it be better if Edwards goes down and we had Vick...Yeah, damn straight it would be. The more important thing is that you made no comment with respects to my suggestion to pan-sear deer meat, the only proper way to get true flavor and juiciness out of it. I'll forgive the avoidance if you are making sausages out of it, or if you are marinating it, but no other excuse, rp.

loyal2dagame Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 first TO and then Vick? the bills would be guaranteed to be in the national spotlight all year. all arguements aside, signing vick would help the bills get more exposure and regardless of how the team plays the talking heads would be forced to pay the bills(no pun intended) lip service oh my gosh , i just had a thought. maybe if the bills stopped signing just "high character" players and started signing players with ability, they might get back into the playoffs.
scribo Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 The rumor of Vick at the airport last night is really picking up steam on the social networks, especially Twitter. Not saying I believe it, as I don't, but a lot of people are talking about it now.
