Though last week the possibility of a multi-team, pre-draft-style workout was being considered by the Mike Vick camp, Steve Wyche of NFL Network reports that any workouts are expected to occur on an individual, team-by-team basis only.
It remains to be seen which teams will be interested in Vick.
But, as we’ve said all along, the application of the league office’s seal of approval to Vick will spark a mini-land rush for his services.
Here’s hoping the Vikings sign him and and by doing so, Favre is forced to STFU and re-retire.
Please, please, please!
Will these workouts be on the weekend, when he’s not at his construction job?
He might as well schedule one in Minnesota for when Favre leaves them at the altar like a jilted bride. The won’t have to worry about alienating the fan base given that there’s not much of one here anyways and they’ll be gone to LA in 2 years. Besides, if he did bring them to the promise land and win a Super Bowl, the fairweather bandwagon fans in MN would jump on and say they supported him the entire time. It’s a win/win for everyone!
As a Denver fan I know how valuable a quality QB could be this next season.
However, my family and I will never watch the NFL as long as M. Vick is a part of it. I will burn my season tickets rather than resell them.
If Denver signs Vick than our new Sunday family tradition will be protesting outside the stadium. Football is changing from the great american sport to a lesson for our kids on how to never act. When the transition is finished it will be a dead sport.
@BRNC
1) Mike Vick will be a part of the NFL; 2) you’ll watch the games, sure as I’m sitting here typing this post; 3) you most certainly won’t burn your tickets; 4) you look retarded when you say all of that on a football site… you’re obviously a big enough fan of the sport to visit a football site and especially a big enough fan to go through the process of registering to comment… you’re not just going to forget about football
I would bet that he practiced a lot of “individual workouts” while he was locked up unless he had some sort of conjugal visits.
BRNC, my guess is that if you’re going to be that extremely immature and illogical about this, then no one will really care and you can keep it to yourself.
i’d like to see him get beat half to death again by the ravens or bucs.
BRNC, what a great example you set for you family, teaching them never to forgive someone for what they have done in the past. I am sure you have never done anything wrong, good for you
GM: Hey boss, I wanted to talk to you about this player who is coming off suspension. Here’s a little fact sheet I put together. (hands sheet to owner)
Owner: Hmm…..led his team to a couple of NFC title games I see.
GM: Yeah, great athlete, tremendously skilled.
Owner: I see here he did some prison time. What’s that all about?
GM: Yeah……well it seems he liked to do a little dog fighting.
Owner: So he had a dog and he would set up fights with other guys dogs?
GM: Well it was a little more involved than that.
Owner: How so?
GM: Well, he kind of set up a whole operation, if you want to call it that. He bought some land, built a house, build a bunch of out buildings to house and train a whole of bunch of dogs, hired some friends to run it, actually named it and everything . “Bad Newz Kennels” he called it. But it was kind of funny because he spelled news with a “z” at the end instead of an “s”.
Owner: Catchy. Illegal though, right?
GM: Apparently. Hence the whole jail thing.
Owner: So you could say he was head of a pretty substantial criminal organization, kinda like Tony Soprano, right?
GM: Well the shit really hit the fan when some of the details about what went on there got out. Turns out, when a dog didn’t turn out to be such a great fighter they would “dispose” of them in some not so nice ways. You know, swinging the dogs by their tails and smashing their heads into large rocks, holding their heads in buckets of water to drown them, hanging them from trees and beating them to death, nasty stuff.
Owner: Yikes. Anything else?
GM: Umm….well apparently when there were no dogs to torture or dog fights to go to, they would amuse themselves by putting untrained house pets in with the fight dogs and watching them get torn apart.
Owner: Well I gotta wrap this up. Playing golf this afternoon. To summarize, you want me to consider signing a player that set up a dog fighting operation, oversaw and participated in the torture and murder of defenseless animals, and then perjured himself initially before finally admitting it?
GM: Jeez, when you say it like it sounds terrible.
Owner: Anything else?
GM: Well it’s possible he may have embezzled some money from one of his companies. But that hasn’t been proven, and you know what they say.
Owner: I think I am going to have to pass on this one, Tom.
GM: (sounding disappointed) Well, you’re the boss.
Owner: One other thing, Tom. For even suggesting I hire that sick, twisted animal to be the face of my franchise, you can clean out your office and get the hell out of my building.
BRNC – I’m with ya’. We don’t want him in Washington.
