Hell the F-No! The guy was an overrated player. Let him get a real job and start living in reality for awhile.

4 Dallas Cowboys in a car. Who's driving? The police.
What do you call a Cowboy fan with half a brain? Gifted.
What do you call a beautiful girl in Dallas? A tourist.
Why can't Romo use a phone? He can't find the receiver.
How many players did the Cowboys dress for their last game? 22, the rest dressed themselves.
What's the difference between a Cowboy fan and a baby? Eventually the baby stops whining.
Bada Bing!

What's the difference between a starfish & Jerry Jones?
One is a scum-sucking, bottom-dweller, & the other is a fish.

I love these.

The dog isn't given a choice whether it wants to fight.

How come people try so hard to humanize animals?

Your druggie question: I think it has to deal with him only hurting himself vs. someone or something else.

It's not an issue of humanizing animals, it's a fact that our society has become more educated about them, and that knowledge has, I believe, made us more compassionate. That's all. Nothing wrong with a society improving upon itself.

Yeah these people love animals more than humans. If they saw a bum on the street they probably would step over them. Social improvement? I love animals and I dont want to see them harmed. But if its a baby and a puppy about to fall of a bridge which one would you chose....How about this save a life of a child that is dieing somewhere in the world.

Just because people are appalled at what Vick did doesn't in anyway mean they think animals are more important than humans. With the exception of PETA.

30 yrs ago Vets would not have done a colonoscopy or endoscopy on a dog or cat. The cost to have this done $3000.00 People allow the Vets to perform this type of care for their pets all the time, and due to this the Vets see people as willing to pay whatever it costs to keep the animal alive. Now Vets charge an office visit that is as much if not more then some doctors.

Yes, MV was an asshole for what he did. He got punished and whether anyone thinks it was too hard or not hard enough he paid a price. A judge or jury gave him what they felt he deserved. Part of it based off of how much info he gave to the investigators. He could have easily said no I'm not talking and taken his punishment. If he gave them good info, info that would help lead to other criminals doing the same thing...to help stop animal cruelty then perhaps his punishment was just and fair. Atleast he was doing his part to stop others from doing the same crap he was.

What Vick did was horrible and there is absolutely no excuse for it, but he has paid his debt to society. What I see in our offense is a lack of playmakers. Moss is the only guy I feel like when he does get the ball he can take it to the house or the ability to make an exciting game changing play that gives confidence to the rest of the offense. Cooley and Portis are steady players who can get the first down when needed, they are reliable players. JC plays a little robotic but has big play ability if he would stop over thinking everything. Randle El was suppose to be the game changer, big play, unorthodox weapon of our offense and special teams...he makes a big play once a year, but really hasnt lived up to the hype. I say give Vick a one year deal. I would not trade a pick for him, but wait until he is released and sign to 1 year. Wildcat formation would be exciting to see. Taking swing out passes out of the backfield in space would be exciting to see. Taking reverses, double-reverses from the wideout position would be exciting to see. Getting a screen pass would be exciting to see. Seeing him throw the ball,....not that excited to see. I would NOT want him throwing the ball, but seeing him return a punt or getting the ball in space would be a shot to the offense that we lack. Deffenses would have to game plan for him. 5-10 touches a game, for one year, lets see what would happen.

Vick is NOT the answer. He can run with the ball but never did much as a passer. 2 min in the game,we have to drive 80yds for a td to win. Do you honestly want Vick under center? There are a few good QB's becoming FA's at the end of the season -Rivers-and the draft will have some good ones possibly coming out-Bradford-. If we change id rather go that route than Vick.

Nobody was arguing Vick is the greatest passer, even in his prime he was not known to be a great passer but other skills allowed him to excel. This thread is about him coming to skins, so were comparing him to Campbell and Colt. Even then hes not a good fit.

And yes i would rather have Vick under center with 2 min to go rather then Campbell, but no i don't want him with the skins.
