ans4e64 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I could just see it now. After Vick walks onto the field, the jumbotron plays.. "WHOOOO LET THE DOGS OUT"
/dev/null Posted August 14, 2009 Author Posted August 14, 2009 Wouldn't it be ironic if the Eagles still played in "The Vet"?
R. Rich Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Some people would sign Charles Manson if they thought he could throw a football...since he can't, they hitched their wagon to the closest thing ...but enough of teams like Denver, who feature woman abusers like Brandon Marshall, or St. Louis and Cleveland, who have guys who like to drink and drive....and kill....on their rosters. But hey, they didn't kill dogs...

But hey, they didn't kill dogs... True. But a sustained, organized activity of collecting animals to fight and kill each other for yucks and profit, tying up animals to be shredded alive by others, speaks for itself. As well as the out-and-out denial to the Falcon's owner.
X. Benedict Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Now that Vick is on a team, when will the Bills make a move to get him?
R. Rich Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 True. But a sustained, organized activity of collecting animals to fight and kill each other for yucks and profit, tying up animals to be shredded alive by others, speaks for itself. As well as the out-and-out denial to the Falcon's owner. My post did not advocate Vick's actions. Just pointing out how out of whack priorities are w/ folks. Sorry, but even though I am a dog owner and dog lover (never thought I'd say that, being a cat owner for most of my life), I do not value my dog over a human life. To me, people should be just as disgusted w/ what Little, Stallworth, and Marshall did as what Vick did. The fact that they are not is very troubling.
stinky finger Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 The NFC East is going to be a dog fight this year. I guess the Eagles wanted someone with experience. Congratulations on an excellent post!
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 True. But a sustained, organized activity of collecting animals to fight and kill each other for yucks and profit, tying up animals to be shredded alive by others, speaks for itself. As well as the out-and-out denial to the Falcon's owner. I'd also add that as dumb and reckless the decisions Stallworth and Little made were, they weren't intentional. Vick intentionally fought dogs and murdered them in a sick way.

I don't think Little or Stallworth (no team is going to sign him because he wasn't really that good anyways) should play in the league either. As for Marshall, I don't think he's even been convicted in a court of law.

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Naivete: Getting behind the wheel of a car after having too much to drink and not expecting bad things to happen. Agreed but unfortunately at least 50% if not more of Americans are guilty of this. I don't think the statistics are as high for torturing and murdering dogs or giving women herpes.
stinky finger Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 On what? Did I say I wanted him gone? No, I did not... I had this exact conversation with Adam in another (no wait, it is this) thread... the vibe in Philly is that Reid is on very thin ice. Should he be? That is another question entirely. I realize that many Bills fans, in their frustration over Peters and other things, got to fellating the Eagles for their brilliant signing, but from here in Philly I can tell you that there is a lot of criticism of Reid and the Eagles FO, and a growing nervousness about their future with aging players. Is it completely sensible? Probably not. Just as most of the chicken littling here on TSW is nonsensical. But outside of the smug confines of New England and probably Pittsburgh, you will not find many fans completely happy with their teams or their coaches. That is what fans do. I got the impression you could validate his dismissal. I'm of the opinion it would be a difficult sell. I now understand your stance. Is it safe to assume the Philly faithful call for his head because he hasn't won the big one? Man, I wish we had that problem. We're looking for a measly playoff appearance and in Philly, multiple championship appearances grows old. Spoiled by success. Funny how fans view their own situations, aint it? Peace!
stinky finger Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 giving women herpes. Huh?...what? Ohhh....don't mind me....I'm just whistling past the graveyard.

I was a kid during the Super Bowl years and remember thinking the Bills were a bunch of losers because they lost those games. My how time has changed. Plus, Philly fans are the worst in the league. I wish them nothing but the worst. They deserve Vick.
Mr. WEO Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I don't think Little or Stallworth (no team is going to sign him because he wasn't really that good anyways) should play in the league either. As for Marshall, I don't think he's even been convicted in a court of law. Stallworth is still on the Browns. He's been suspended for the year. Also, the sanctimony should be reserved only for those who have NEVER imbibed alcohol and subsequently driven a car (I suspect there aren't many on this board). The rest of you can STFU. There is little difference between Stallworth and the sainted Bruuuuuce Smith--except Smith (a serial drunk driver) is far more fortunate that no one ever darted in front of his drunkmobile. And he was just elected to the (Drunk Driving) Hall of FAme!

Who's not disgusted by Little, Stallworth, and Marshall's actions? Not sure which "people" you are referring to? Those particular players haven't been rumored to be coming to the Bills, unlike Vick, so it hasn't been prominently discussed here. Doesn't mean it's acceptable behavior..
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I'd have wanted Vick on the Bills. I think they missed the boat on this one.
Booster4324 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Makes things easier for me in that, I can now simply hate on the entire NFC East.

Our society seems to get colder, harder with each passing year. I am very weary, my friend.
