Michael Vick Won’t Be Welcome Back in Atlanta, Says Boss

Michael Vick won’t be welcome back in Atlanta, says boss.

Arthur Blank would love to see imprisoned ex-quarterback Michael Vick in a NFL uniform again – so long as it’s not a Falcons jersey. Atlanta’s team owner says he’s heard from Vick, who’s serving a federal prison sentence for illegal dog-fighting, but has not interest in re-hiring the disgraced player. “He’s written me and I’ve answered him,” Blank tells ESPN.com. “I certainly wish Michael well in the future. I believe in second chances. I believe in third chances. That doesn’t mean I believe in forever chances.” He adds that Atlanta has “turned the page” and has a “franchise quarterback” in Boston alum Matt Ryan. Get more at Playa Hater.

WHO CARES

I am a Falcons fan and to be honest I hope Mike Vick goes to a division rival and comes to Atlanta and beats the HELL out of them!! This is F’d up for Blanks to be like that considering the money Mike made for his ass!! The man has served his time and STILL he was only dog fighting!! HE DID NOT TAKE A LIFE OR PUT A HUMAN LIFE AT HARM!!! If the feds would spend more time looking for Bin Laden the terrorist and not Mike Vick the dog fighter, the world would be a much safer place to live!!!!

And I am a Falcons fan, he shouldn’t even want to play there, let alone for Arthur again. I hope after this he doesn’t look like a fool writing Blank ever again.

He’s a good player he doesn’t have to play for the Falcon’s….they’ll wish they had him when it’s said & done….Blank really believed in second/third chances then he’d accept Mike back w/open arms

I doubt if he would even want to play there again. If he does come back int he league I don’t see him playing QB anymore. Maybe a running back/receiver type like a Reggie Bush. He still has his speed I’m sure, and if put on a few more punds of muscle. He could be a beast. We’d take him. Come to DC Vick. Your already from VA not to far

The Atlanta
Falcons,use to wear the Civil War Colors,before Jerry Glanville and he changed theirs to Black and Red.But the Front Office,has still been ran like the “Good Ole Boys South ” While the N-no F-fun L-league or NFL is ran by sorry Owners who don’t give Sh#T about Black Football Players,they will NEVER WIN A Super BOWL!!!!!!! Micheal Vick ,will come out of Prison a much Stronger,and Smarter MAN! He will play for a NFL or CFL team and make all those A@@Hole’s Eat F@#k Crow.The Atlanta Pro teams,have always been F@#k over by *#?#* up Owners Like Ted Turner.

I really do feel sorry for him. But he was killing inocent dogs too. But I think they are a little harsh on him. You still got people who has killed human beings still walking around. I just think the system was making an example out of him.

The Falcons need to let “by gones” be “by gones” and let Michael Vick come back to the franchise, or better yet the NFL needs to let him back in to play. People act as though MV is a hardened criminal. The harden criminal is our so-called leader in the White House.

What is the world coming to when we put the safety of animals before humans. If Vick had fought his wife instead of fighting dogs he would still be the Falcons leading QB. But because he was fighting dogs and probably made a little change off of it, it’s now an issue. Dog fighting is o.k until a black man gets a little change. Need I remind you dog fighting use to be a white man sport. He’s gonna be just fine, the man has talent. As long as he stay in prayer he’ll come back stronger. AB is getting just what he deserves.

Who writes these little stories? Someone needs to edit them because it sounds retarded reading it as is. “who’s serving a federal prison sentence for illegal dog-fighting, but has not interest in re-hiring the disgraced player.” and “He adds that Atlanta has “turned the page” and has a “franchise quarterback” in Boston alum Matt Ryan.” ‘Has not interest’ and ‘has turned page?’ Come on? Is this professional?

Who writes these articles? Please write better articles and use correct grammer…..geez!



Toni Said on

I mean really…Im sure one of the NFL Teams will love to have Vick!! And as for him being one of the worst people in the world…I beg the differ. I love dogs; i have two myself, but i have seen worse people!!



Finesse Said on

White people are the ones who brought the dog fighting game to america any way,I believe that they were too hard on him by giving him that much time in jail,and you see thats what the whole problem is today black people trying to be like white people.

Vick tortured dogs (electrocution); FUNDED a ring (if but for his money, there would be no ring in this case); he LIED to the gov’t and to YOU (PUBLIC), and he made money off of them.
Instead of all of this ‘if he were white’ stuff, why don’t you just say: ‘He did wrong, and let’s hope he learned from this PERIOD?’ No ‘but if he were….’ HE’S NOT. WHEN ASKED IF HE WAS INVOLVED (BEFORE TRIAL) HE SMIRKED AND SAID HE WASN’T. Hate f#$% liars.
Whether a team takes him in or not is an economic, and moral decision. STOP DEFLECTING BLAME.

Dallas will take him, hell! they take everybody, Quincy, Pacmanm, Romo(ha!ha!)
