Embattled NFL quarterback Michael Vick made an appearance today on the Atlanta-based Porshe Foxx radio program. Calling into the program, Vick gave his first interview since charges were filed against him July 17.

During the brief spot Vick thanked his fans and all those who continue to support him, and expressed regret over the negative impact the dogfighting scandal is having on the Atlanta Falcons franchise.

I guess his lawyer hired a PR firm. You will see more and more of this in the coming months. I would think Vick and his team would like to get a plea bargain that gives him no jail time and allows him to play eventually. It would also require a monetary payment to the animal rights groups.

That was my first thought as well. He lost me when he gave us all the collective finger.

Just curious...

What made Vick give these fans the finger?

I’m guessing they were rippin’ on him about something.

So? Show me a player who has never been ripped on by fans at one point or another.

ALL doubt has been removed...
Professional sports has indeed sunk into depths warranting their financial ruin...and obsolescence.

Professional Baseball, Basketball and Football has become nothing if not THUG BALL...and DRUG BALL.

Perhaps if this path to undeserved riches and respect were NOT available — 10’s of thousands of young blacks would place more value on getting an EDUCATION.....

So long as THUG “athletes” and “rap stars” are presented and the Zenith of black accomplishment — it will remain an unattainable dream for most of black youth - and professional sports will swirl about the toilet bowel as it descends into the sewer...

THUG ball, nothing less nothing more....
Every “fan” who buys a ticket to watch these assholes are the enablers..

Just to keep all this in perspective...It's not about black or white. It's about human vs. inhuman.


I am going to open a cold one and toast the day when Vick is brought into his jail cell.
