Yes….Vick did not speak out too much on Reeves behalf when Blank purchased the Falcons. But Vick’s blind loyalty to his past prevented him to do so. Vick was loyal to a fault to his past. I believe that if Reeves ends in in San Francisco, Vick will end up there as well.
Vick will still have that loyalty in him to trust Reeves, the man who drafted him and made the attempt to make a man, and player out of him. Time will tell…

Any post mentioning the Rubicon Crossing has my vote for the Pepsi Pack. Well done, sir, well done. Mark Murphy would be proud.

Leonard Little made a mistake. Unfortunately he’s made that same mistake more than once.
POS VICK did not make a mistake. He and homeboys, sat out and accomplished everything they wanted out side of getting thrown in to prison. He made wrong choices, but he didn’t make a mistake.
His 2nd chance is walking out of that prison. Something that he should be thankful for.
His 2nd chance should not include the NFL unless he wants to hit r2 with himself on madden.
Here’s to him being bent over by Bubba as I type this.

The Mike Vick story Part 2… From Solitary to Singletary

Has anyone thought this through? Vick a violent animal killer taking up residence in liberal, animal loving, earth loving, capital of the United States. Towns like Detroit might look the other way, but no way San Francisco will let this happen.

If anything he should know the trouble Vick brings with him. Remember this isn’t the first time he’s been in trouble, it’s just the most prominent. And the first one where he was actually charged. Should make it less likely for him to be a 49er, not more likely. Not to mention Vick really wasn’t a good QB to begin with. Exciting, but not good. Time away from the game won’t make him better either, and that is one of the tougher positions to keep up with. If he changed positions he may have a chance, but really, who wants Michael Vick as a HB or WR?

People seem to forget that although Vick was convicted for killing dogs, his unforgivable sin (in the eyes of the NFL front office) was underwriting a gambling ring. You can do a lot of things and still play in the NFL but you have officially crossed the Rubicon when you get caught gambling.

Stop whining b*tches! Vick served his time. His buddioeshurt the worthless mutts, not him. Im gonna love it the next time I read a soldier in Iraq was killed. Their lives are nowhere near as important as these dogs.
Hey, D, reality check. He financed the operation, kept a dwelling for said operation, those ‘buddies’ that hurt the animals as you say are his friends. ready to connect the dots and make the leap of faith and say that he was ‘hands on’ in the whole ordeal? or should i offer you my login name for your more appropriate use? i absolutely despise the killing of animals, not just dogs, but there is something beyond the criminal act that makes Vick so reprehensible: his complete lack of character and integrity. if he were sincere in his admission of guilt and really apologetic, i’d say live and let live–even if he didn’t because we are supposed to be bigger than that. but he’s your typical greedy, new age village idiot that thinks it’s ok to act like an A-hole, apologize for it, and get back to business. Vick gets something that many of those dogs didn’t, a second chance, but that doesn’t mean that chance needs to be an opportunity to re-enter the NFL.

are you sure this is remotely legit? you are talking about the franchise that Joe Montana built. not to mention Steve Young, and to a lesser extent, Jeff Garcia. those guys were reputable players, and to bring in someone like Vick, would turn the niners into the raiders, in my opinion. hopefully vick is denied reinstatement by goodell, and in a perfect sense of irony, is forced to take a job as a bark park attendant–cleaning up the dog shit. i don’t care how many public apologies this guy makes, or what acts of contrition he performs. what he did speaks volumes about his character, or lack thereof, and he should never be allowed an opportunity to resurrect his once promising career.

You whiny lilttle ladies that say you wont be fans of the team will be replaced by people that couldnt care less about dogs. Idiots. We killed four today caused they couldnt fight (allegedly, lol).
P.S. BirdWeiserr- Its not 85%, just you whiny message board white folks. Funny how you no longer follow the Falcons since Vick is no longer ther you obsessed b*tch.

So the franchise that gave us Montana to Rice may give Vick to….well, it doesn’t matter who the WR is. Vick won’t complete the pass anyway. Isn’t that the football equivalent of going from making love to all the Victoria Secret models to hooking up with an angry Lorena Bobbit?

VonClausewitz — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 01:31:39 +0000

The way I look at it is this. Vick has shown everyone the kind of person he is. That’s his burden to bear. He’s done his time, or will be done shortly. And whatever penalty the league serves him afterwards he’ll have to abide by. When all that’s done, and if he is allowed back (and he should be if Pacman is the standard) then it’s up to him how he redeems himself. He should have the chance. Is he persona non grata? Yes. Is he someone most team wouldn’t want? Sure. But his story isn’t done yet and he should have the chance to change it.

You know this pairing actually makes a lot of sense the more I think about it…of all players, Vick would probably be most likely to be inspired by Singletary’s motivation tactics of pants-dropping.

Sounds like PFT is backing off their previous notion that Mike Vick will never play in the NFL again faster than Mort backing off his Shanahan to the Chiefs statement.

Florio, you should fire Josh Alper since he apparently doesn’t know the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground. This is my reasoning for that statement:
“Their signing of cornerback Jimmy Williams on Thursday shows that the team doesn’t have a problem taking on players with sketchy pasts.”
So, so stupid, I have a hard time understanding how someone could write this…does he even know anything about the Niners??? Or the difference in the crimes committed? It’s insane…fire him, he sucks, yyou can do better Florio…God, what an idiot.

As a 49er fan of over 50 years who has followed them thru the 2-14 seasons and the championship seasons the thought of signing Micheal Vick is incomprehensible.Everyone deserves a second chance, but a man who has taken advantage of poor helpless animals can ply his craft with another franchise. The thought of Mr. Vick in a 49er jersey besmirches the names of Title,St.Clair,Wilcox,Montana,Lott and Rice.
This is all speculation at this point and I hope that is all it ever becomes.

THis is all speculation with no bounds for even printing the rumor. There is no reason to even believe this crap. So 9ers fans, Don’t worry about this until it is in the works. There are a lot of people that aren’t worth pissing on if they were on fire. (But they are worth pissing on if they aren’t on fire. Vick is one of those guys. I still remember him saying, “No matter what I do, everyone gonna love Mike Vick”. He was right if everyone means the black community. Because they are blind to any evil their brethren do until they kill one of their family members. OJ, Jesse Jackson, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama….

This is nothing but a coincidence, a stand up coach likie Mike Singletary wouldn’t ever sign an idiot like Vick. If the decition was made to sign Vick it wouldn’t come from Singletary. It would be infuenced by that sleez bag Eddie D. If the niners want to have a chance this year they need to draft B.J Raji and sign an O linemen and a DB off free agency. or just bring back the ONE and ONLY cool Joe. (not flacco like the ravens are dreaming of)

Im sure everyone that hates Vick and can’t stand the thought of giving this man a second chance has never ever committed an illegal act in his/hers lifetime. Football is Vicks profession. Is he supposed to be an investment banker or something when he gets out?
Give him another chance. Jail is hard enough on man as it is.
The 49ers will need all the help they can get. Seattle is gonna come back strong, the Rams can’t get any worse, and we all see what game Arizona will be playing in.

If anything keeps Vick out of the NFL on a permanent basis, it’ll be the gambling aspect. Vick financed(!) an illegal interstate gambling ring. The one thing NO professional sport tolerates is gambling. Bad game? Hmmm….No player impacts the play of his team like the QB.
Dogfighting/killing is just the icing on the cake. Add in the fact he lied to the commissioner about his involvement in the dogfighting allegations, and sat next to Goodell at the NFL draft, only to be arrested shortly afterward. Toss in the failed drug test while awaiting trial for good measure. To me, that means Vick never plays in the NFL again.
I think one thing that distinguishes the Vick case from others is that Vick set this operation up the day he signed his NFL contract. He willfully engaged in a long term criminal endeavor, a planned operation. Other NFL players have gotten in serious trouble, but those a generally incidents, things that happen and are not planned. They are human, and stuff happens. But when you make the conscious decision to embark upon a criminal endeavor, especially one involving the slaughter of animals, you don’t deserve a second chance at football.
And it’s not like he was that great of a QB anyway.

… and as an added bonus, San Francisco’s large Asian community is bound to be more tolerant of Vick’s outlook regarding our canine friends.

They have nothing to lose in bringing in Vick. if he sucks they cut him and if he is ok they can have him behind Hill until he gets back into it. Yes he messed up but he has done his time. Atleast he was not trying to hire people to shoot at someone he didnt like, Pacman. Singletary will keep him inline and Vick will want to prove himself and change peoples minds about him. All of you so called die hard niner fans that are saying they would stop being fans are not fans to begin with so go slerp the cardinals.
