Mike Vick at Bills practice and the nfl script release

[JerseyBills]

Kinda random but both are pretty cool to see. Especially for the rookies n younger guys who looked up to Vick as a kid. 

And the script commercial is hilarious! 

 

The Abra ca graba line 🤣🤣

[Beast]

I guess he really wanted to see if Josh Allen was truly a dog.

What next step does Vick know how to get to? 

[Augie]

Who decided he should stay relevant? I’m still not a big Vick fan, and doubt I ever will be. 

[HOUSE]

I am grabbing my pitbulls and running right over there.

SMH this man tests my Christian faith. I am mandated to forgive but what he was convicted of reeks of evil to me. I forgive but I cannot forget.

 

Spoken like a pittie advocate and rescuer. Which is true. so I am Very biased here.

 

so he can just go away I care zilch nada about him any more.  I'll just leave it at that.

Have adequate legal counsel.

Hopefully they script Hamlin to win a SB. 

[Blackbeard]

You cannot sway me at all in having anything but disdain for this low-life piece of *****. 

 

Actually shocked the Bills franchise would place him, of all people, into the BIlls organization, all knowing it will rub many people wrongly.

 

Shameful imo.

I think many players like him, though.

[Mr. WEO]

why is this POS around the facility?  "Finding that spark" for this low life meant electrocuting dogs.

 

what possessed the FO to wake up this week and say: "we should bring in Mike Vick as a guy to chat up the fellas"...?

 

wtf

[May Day 10]

I hated Vick more than anyone I think.  I saw him get reinstated, make millions again, and looked forced doing appearances and stuff for community service.  It disgusted me to see the media and Eagles fans spin this positive narrative.

 

But over the years, I have noticed Vick doing good things, speaking to young people when the cameras are off and he has little to gain.  He has stayed completely out of trouble.  He paid the price for what he did, and I truly believe he learned his lesson and became a better person because of it.

If he hadn't been busted he'd still be doing it.

Apparently Josh Allen is so good in Madden this year it’s being compared to the year Vick was a cheat code in 04

Muppy Muppy Muppy.  Christian faith tells us to forgive and forget. I dont want to get into religion in here but yea.. just saying

Perhaps.  But he was busted and he did real time for it.  The rich and famous usually avoid consequences but Vick paid his debt to society.  

[benderbender]

Too bad we didn’t get Gronk to come and speak. He’d be metal elbowing everyone and handing out Tide Pods. Then this board would be ecstatic.

Yes, that is probably true.  Maybe it would be worse with a network of similar organizations, who knows?

 

He did get busted and he lost a lot because of it.  

 

I understand if people are still angry with him/have no use for him/etc.  I'm a dog guy, so when all this was happening and well into his 'return', I was frothing at the mouth with hate.  Somewhere along the line, I forgave and believe that he changed.

I had a play to burn before the half with him and came within an inch of juking (edit: and hurdling (can’t forget the hurdling)) through a defense to the house from our 20.

Sadly, it's not good enough

 

Really says a lot more about the others who hold such space in their heart to still hate the dude who never impacted their life beyond some fantasy game or viewing habits.

SHAME ON YOU TERRY & KIM PEGULA

[PetermansRedemption]

Not really sure why bringing in a criminal to speak to the players was ever considered a good idea? Who came up with it and then who slammed the table and was like “YES”. For an organization that preaches character this seems like an odd choice. Could have brought in any of the thousands of players of NFL past.

If he was a guy you worked with or your neighbor doing that in his back yard, you wouldn't be saying it's cool to come to your office now and chat up the fellas or knocking on your door to hang out after he did his time.

 

Hero worship is stupid.

...that's a whole lot of presumptuous bull#### right there big fella.

 

Let's break this horsebleepof yours down:

A- you have no idea what type of neighborhood or work I have

B- what's great, I don't either. Coworkers and neighbors could be serial killers in their past and id never know. I don't judge or research such bull####

C- I don't judge people based on something of their past, something I wasn't involved with, something 20 years ago that they've done their "time for."

 

D- you don't ever see me mock these d- bag sportsball players who don't impress me with their intellect, "dangerous jobs," or anything. I don't think they are heros. Nor are nurses, teachers, firefighters, or police. It's their job. Shut up and do it ... Or don't. 

 

... seriously, you couldn't have picked a more wrong take on this with me. Jesus weo.

settle down.

 

none of the bolded matters.  you wouldn't have that guy anywhere near you after he got out.  you certainly wouldn't invite him over.

 

That's all.

I dunno, maybe because it's instructive to meet and speak with people who have had major adversity in their life and have turned their life around and found new success through change.

 

I'm also going to throw out there that Beane and McDermott aren't shy about their Christian morals and part of that (the part people like to forget) is forgiveness and not lying in judgement of others. Vick paid his debt to our society and will be judged by a higher power after his passing. 

[Nelius]

Yeah this is pretty weird, wonder if there's more to the connection. Otherwise you'd think any other QB from the last 30 years would have been a better idea. The complete randomness is the strangest part. If he say had a brother working as an assistant or something then I could maybe do the mental gymnastics to make this work.

haha. this is wrong.

 

very much wrong. i actually work with one guy who served 6 years for homicide.

 

my last job was in a very rough area and several folks there i hired were convicted of serious offenses.

 

as far as my friends, i have a few who you may not invite over but i do.

 

you really, really don't have any idea who you're talking to... so just stop. this isn't a hill you should die on even though i'm ending it here because you're just flat out, empirically wrong.

I don’t classify starting a dog fighting ring while making millions of dollars playing football to be “major adversity”.

Empirically?  Well, I can't verify any of this.  Nor can I know if you would really have a neighbor torturing dogs in his back yard over for a beer when he got out.  I just don't believe any reasonable person would.

he had a tough upbringing where the dog fighting crap was normalized and even glorified.  

 

He did real time in prison (during his playing prime) and his financial life was in ruins.  His name and character was/is forever smeared.  He went from one of the most electric athletes in sports to incarcerated.   

 

 

Whether or not you believe him.  He seems to say and act as though he has learned from his experience.  I believe him.  This is a long time to keep his nose clean, out of trouble, and he has championed animal/dog laws.  Made speaking appearances to teach young people through his lessons.
