Michael Vick Won’t Be Welcome Back in Atlanta, Says Boss
October 16th, 2008

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.

WOW. hopefully he can play somewhere. if it was one of those whiteboys – they would welcome him with open arms, get him counseling and probably a raise for his pain and suffering.
VOTE OBAMA 2008
first of all mike wasnt the one fighting the dogs it was his cousins. mike didn’t do nothin but provide the $ and the place so all yall haters need 2 get off his d!ck
I so agree with second chances because what he did was no different then DMX and he is serving Fed time for some bull***. This man was no even living in the house where they found the dogs at and they still got him trying to make an example, which dont make any since when people always going to dog fight just like people always going to sell drugs you just ahve to make smarter decision for yourself not for others!
first of all vick should not have gone to jail. probation and a heavy fine would have been just. but in any case, he did. so what if the falcons dont want him. i am willing to bet once he is out a team will pick him up and he will do well. the falcons got who they want to quarterback their team. that was just his first step. vick will be alright.
It is still a damned shame that someone who is fighting dogs can serve federal time and cops and correctional supposed to be officers can murder and not do a lick of time. The US is a hypocritical and bias place if I ever seen one!
Everyone deserves a second chance and if they don’t want him back then, it is probably for the best. I hope that a team picks him up and he gets them a championship. God forgives us so why not we forgive ourselves and move on. I know I forgive him and I know I am not perfect so nor is he. And we all learn from our mistake and we choose not to make that same mistake twice. So everything will be okay and I will treat him as if nothing ever took place. God bless this brother in all that he does. http://myspace.com/brownsilkysmooth
if blank believe in second chances why don’t he give mike one . hell vice president nominee sarah palin are killing wolves with a 12 gauge shotgun while up in the airplane , she kills ,moose, lion, tigers and bears oh my, and she still could be the next step from running this country. america what a country. %@#% blank and the falcons. undercover prejudice mother……
Atlanta got the @*~~~$@ QB now so maybe more white fans will pay to see them lose now. Whats sad is the ni**ers on the team want to try and play football now cause when Mike was there they weren’t doing s**t but being the fake ass n**gers at the clubs fronting. Funny how football ni**ers go crazy when the white boy throws the ball and cry like bit**es for their QB (T.O) but front front on the black QB. Ain’t life grand.
Arthur is mad because his hip national bank was hurt when he lost Vick…white men don’t mind if you mess with their wives, mothers or daughers but don’t touch their money!
Thats right King..Dallas WILL take him… Im a dallas fan and uh…..5 rings!! Americas team baby.. just like we take everyone else into this country… dallas can take em all on the team!! we may have bad boys but we produce!! Go cowboys!..Maybe he can back up romo if brad retires?/???.. just joking people… but seriously.. i believe he was being made an example of and should move on… someone will definitely pick him up.. Its about talent and winning not personal issues when it comes to football…………. GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is time for him to move on. God will make a way for him, though what he did wasn’t right. Best wishes to him.
Can we PUH-LEASE let this go???!!!?!? He fought some damn dogs…..so what!!!!!!!!!! Why don’t we put George Bush in jail because the blood of a whole lot of our young men and women are on his hands. Get something better to write about…………..
mick vick was my favorite QB and still is no disrespect TONY ROMO n yea im a COWBOYS FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO WE WILL TAKE VICK FO SHO
He is to talented to b in jail
It does not matter if Atlanta does not want him. He will play again because he is a hell of a football player that made a mistake that we all do as human beings. His is different from others and the same. He will play again and it looks like he will quarter back the BEARS. Get out and make everyone eat their WORDS Mike……Good Luck….
WE WANT YOU VICK. THE BIG EASY WILL TREAT YOU WELL.
Sounds like someone believes in second chances with restrictions. I hope that Mr. Vicks goes to another team and come back to the ATL and give them a good ole Dirty South @$$ WHOOPING. But Mr. Vicks after you do what you do on the field, don’t forget to tell the man thanks with a smile.
It’s ok atlanta does not have to want him! I promise you somebody else will ??~*%* him up! He proly in jail working out an stuff getting ready so when he do touch down its gonna be on! HOLLA at me vick!
Um Mr. Vick our team needs you bad. It starts with a “L” and ends with a “S” and there is no roar in between. Maybe you could come here and use your QB skills to play and your dog training skills to teach the Detroit Lions how to at least look like they know how the game is played.
REDSKINS Welcomes YOU!
