What has Marcus Vick ever done to DESERVE anything?

Just because he isn't a monster doesn't mean he isn't a total idiot.
Is it NorthWestAirlines.
it was a rap group which this individual was stretching to enclose Marcus Vick.
The problem is, the group had broken up before Marcus Vick was in Kindergarten....
Can we call him a punk?
punk, criminal, child-rapist, druggie sure...
But others have taken the word "thug" and made it mean something else I'm afraid....
Stupid idiot.
OK, got it, and it was news to me as I use that term quite a bit with regards to Tookie and Allen on the death penalty issue.
Vick is a lot of things. None pretty and frankly and I will say it a sad way to end a football career.
I say that because, until he get's his act together, works out his legal woes, learns not to be a "punk" nobody should touch him. If they do, he will be a bench warmer for many years. Years of proving himself to his fellow mates.
Actually punk works for the likes of Vick, but would not work for Tookie or Allen.
yeah....
I tell you what though, assuming he is out of jail and assuming he actually makes it to the combine, I get the feeling that someone, in the late rounds of the draft, will take a flyer on him.....
But he needed another year in college anyway. Figure that year in college would be 2 in the NFL, plus the normal rookie/young player development rate (those not named Rothliesberger aside) is another 2-3 years.
So it's at least 5 years before I think he could be a servicable QB in the NFL. Now whether he can stay out of trouble for that long might constitute a minor miracle.
Excellent points!!
His brother, a talented QB in his own right, some even think Marcus is better, left Tech early.
He signed with Atlanta and really sat on the bench a majority of the first year than of course he has his injury but he had to pay his dues. Tough when you decide to go pro early.
There are other's much more deserving who remained at school earning that slot.
Someone joked with me, saying if he is not picked up the ACLU and Jessie Jackson will come out screaming of how dare the NFL not pick him up, never mind Vick's history. Should he picked up, he should thank his lucky stars and sit down with older brother, get some advice and heed said advice. Folks can change, folks can learn, usually that is done in college but hey he might get that second chance with the NFL if only he will know how lucky he is if that happens.
je$$e doesn't have the balls to go after the NFL.
Tagliabue et. al would eat him for lunch.
As I had mentioned to MikeinIraq punk might be fitting for Vick and his age but a guy who brandished a gun is a thug.
Just as I use the term for Tookie, Allen, and their crimes against society.
EXACTLY.
He has to earn it.
That's his problem. Since he hasn't had to earn anything yet, given his brother's popularity and legacy, he's had everything handed to him on a silver platter.
Either he will mature and probably play in the NFL, or he will screw up to the point that he won't get out of jail until he's 50 or older.
A smart man learns from his own mistakes.
A wise man learns from the smart man's mistakes.
NWA is an early 90s rap group. It stands for "Ni---rs With Attitude." Apparently the term "NWA" is now being used as a racial slur.
If you're being mentored by a guy with the nickname "Poo," how successful can you expect to be?
