Heh. I wasn't comparing the locker-room cancer T.O with the dog-killer Vick :)
Was just saying that teams are in the business of winning, and for the most part, will put whoever on the field they think will assist in that goal. I'd love to see him banned from the league. I admire what Goodell's been doing with clamping down on player's behaviours outside of the league. I believe it's a privilege to play for the NFL, and as an NFL player, you represent the league 24/7. Is that fair? I mean, you and me, we punch a clock and go home. But we're also not making tens of millions of dollars a year. If you want to play for the NFL, and you want to collect that big fat paycheck, you do so knowing that you represent the league 24/7. And if you fuck up, you're out. Simple as that. That's how it should be (and how it will be when I'm commissioner) :) On 8/22/07, Tony <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i dont know. > > everyone loves a dog. > > and how can anyone forget this. > > just doesnt seem like the same thing > > id take T.O. over Vick any day of the week. > > hell, id take pacman jones over vick. > > im done with vick. > i was a MAJOR vick fan > i love pitbulls > i love dogs > > but im done with vick. > > ill never support that cocksmoker > > On 8/22/07, Charlie Griefer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 8/22/07, Mary Jo Sminkey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> The question of course is whether any team would even take him on > > and the negative > > >> press they would likely get as a result.
