I’m sure DeAngelo is going to lose alot of sleep over this. How Vick would get one considering the position he put Arthur Blank in, not to mention he lied directly to the man’s face is interesting. If a few quotes in the media criticizing the team who gave up on him along with a scuffle with Mike Smith (a scuffle that was started by Smith) is reason for not giving him a jersey, how petty does that make the Falcons?

Yeah I’m sure Hall cares what they do. And they support Vick? what a joke. And to the ones that say Hall is a loser your retarded. He may be a prick but I’m sure most athletes are.

I’m sure DeAngelo Hall isn’t losing any sleep over the fact that he’s not being honored by the Falcons.

This makes a bigger story than if they had just sent him one.

So running your mouth makes you a pariah but being sent to prison and screwing over the owner and franchise with blatant lies to all of their faces and basically stealing their money doesn’t? Earning the nickname Ron Mexico doesn’t?
Yea that’s makes all kinds of sense. It’s kind representative of why the Falcons have sucked donkey balls for so long. Stay classy Atlanta!

Saying you’re a Pro-Bolwer for the Falcons is like saying you’re the smartest kid with down syndrome.
———————————
You do realize the pro bowl is for the best players in the league, not just the best on the team, moron.

I’m all for Vick being a “changed man”, 2nd chance, he’s doing great. Everything that he has done since his arrest (except the birthday party) is above and beyond what was expected. He could have become a higher-profile Maurice Clarett very easily.
But the fact is, he was the face of the franchise, led the league in jersey sales, made them “relevant” on network TV. Then he completely screwed them. Wasn’t for getting Matt Ryan, that team would be the Buccaneers.
DeAngelo Hall just got burned by Steve Smith twice a year.

Now this is stupid……why honor Michael Vick, but not DeAngelo Hall???? As a Redskin fan, i know Hall is overrated and a jerk, BUT Vick getting honored and Hall not is very odd. Hall didnt get arrested and sent to prison. Hall didnt cause Atlanta to move on and start over with a new quarterback in Matt Ryan. I think both Hall and Vick shouldnt be honored.

This means so much from an organization that took 43 frickin’ years to have back to back winning seasons.

All of their former pro-bowlers besides Hall? Who is the one getting honored?

Deangelo was such a geek while he was here in Atlanta. His sole claim to fame was that he was the fastest player in the NFL, yet receivers who are not known for there speed consistently got by him.
The Falcons should reconsider it and give him a jersey with his name on the back, MeAngelo

Neither Vick or Hall deserve to be honored by that organization. Both were huge embarrassments to it.

So in their eyes, him running his mouth is worse then what Vick was convicted of.
Yeah, ok then.

I would expect an organization to take the high road. People have the aptitude to grow and mature and have thier reasons for being angry but it says a lot about a company or organization if they can’t turn the chapter and see a prodigal son for what he is. Good Or Bad De’angelo fits the criteria of what they are honoring, he sold a lot of those jerseys and helped fill seats, for an organization that the media credits with being nothing but classy this seems a little low brow to me

Any organization that would honor D’Angelo Hall as a “great player” is bush league at best. Hall sucked, sucks now and will continue to suck as long as he is in the NFL. The WR’s in the NFL lick their chops everytime they play against him for a reason.
His should change his name to D’ Toasted Always.

Classy for an organization that just had it’s first back to back winning seasons in team history.
That’s some rich history right there.
I guess hanging banners for two consecutive winnings seasons is not as appealing.
Must have been jealous watching other teams honor hall of famers.
Blank owns Home Depot, he is just playing the business side including Vick in the meaningless gesture. Al Sharpton has been irrelevant for awhile and something stupid like that would stoke his fire.

Maybe they didn’t include him because they realized he had no business making the Pro Bowl in the first place. Dude is probably the most overrated cornerback in the league.

I’m not a Vick hater; actually, I’m a major Vick apologist. Still, he wasn’t excluded and D-Hall was?

They should give Hall his jersey, and they should attach a yellow flag to it, u know to make it more authentic.
Funny. As. Hell.
