Dungy's involvement guarantees Vick will be signed

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Apart from the fact that the involvement of former Bucs and Colts coach Tony Dungy lends significant credibility to the efforts of quarterback Mike Vick to be reinstated, we think that Dungy's role as an adviser and mentor to Vick will have a dramatic impact on the next phase of his career.

For starters, it virtually guarantees that Vick will be signed by another team this year.

Which makes Tony Dungy a piece of garbage Vick apologist.

I heard Dungy on the radio here in Miami weeks ago talking about how Vick is "just like every other guy he sees who needs a 2nd chance". He compared Vick to rookie prospects at the combine who have "bar fights" or "marijuana possession" in their history.

Well Tony Dungy, you are a moron and you are taking your brain-washed-Jesus-forgiveness-platform too far and supporting a HORRIBLE man who deserves no such support.

Dungy should help Vick go repair his life as a contruction worker but a 2nd chance in the NFL? Vick deserves no such 2nd chance at the NFL and no such mercy - just as he gave no such mercy to those dogs.

[mod]The profanity filter is there for a reason![/mod] Vick and Dungy!

wow dude

 

[FinFrenzy]

Dungy is right about a 2nd chance in society, wrong for allowing any felon back in the NFL.

But I find it hard to believe Dungy is a moron.

As Colin Cowherd says; "Everyone deserves a second chance. Just not with me."

A murderer deserves a second chance...But I'm not employing him at mu business, nor letting him sleep at my house. A child molester deserves a second chance...But I'm not letting him around my kids, nor am I letting him hang around my place. An accountant that has embezzeled money deserves a second chance...But he's not doing MY taxes.

It would not bother me a bit to see Vick never allowed to play in the NFL again. Goodell has every right to not let him play again. There's always the CFL, UFL, and Arena Leauge. It's not like he can't make a living at his chosen craft....Just not at the company he wants to work at.

Companies fire employees for moral turpitude all the time....And for things lots less eqrigious than what Vick did...But they don't get our sympathy, because we don't care abou them, do we?

Well...you put it more diplomatically than I did. That's for sure.

I get really upset everytime I think about Vick and what he did and those who defend his return to the NFL.

Exactly! If I got busted for just simply buying some weed, I would probably lose my career (would absolutely lose my advanced designation) and nobody would be crying for me if I had to work construction or make less money in a lessor "league" in my same industry.

Did you ever think maybe thats because you're easily replacible???

Vick is a rare talent that as much as he will make people mad, people will still buy tickets just to see him play. Nobody except the guy who takes your place will benefit from you buying weed, getting fired, and trying to come back.....

Why is the NFL above society?

Everyone's replaceable. Absolutely everyone.

Yep, some just easier than others....ask the Falcons how much money they lost in the ability to sell tickets, and vick merchandise on the whole deal prior to last season...

Why is the NFL above society?

The NFL is a business. They have the right to allow or disallow anyone they want to work or not to work for them that they like. Vick is certainly clear to have a second chance.

Federal Financial Regulaters have the right to pull the licence of traders that violate federal laws. After they serve thier time, the regulaters are under no obligation to allow them to be licensed again. Same with Bar organizations. In TX, bars and resturants have liquer licenses...If they violate a law, they may or may not get thier license pulled, and, they may or may not get it back.

What makes Vick superior to society?

The NFL had the right not to let him back in, but they did. Not sure how that makes him superior to society, especially when he served time.

If the NFL had set such a standard over the years I would agree but they have never been a pillar of the best of society. Its obvious that the majority of players in the NFL feel like Vick should be reinstated. The NFL is not like a company entity in almost any way. Its a very unique entity and has no reason to have the standards that a normal company would have.
Goodall cannot just make decisions without looking at history and the feelings of the people in the league. A standard has to be set to make these decisions. I think people are more personal about Vick yet a scumbag like JD Quinn who has three dui's nobody wants banned from the league.Yea he was lucky and no one was killed but he is just as bad if not worse than Stallworth just more lucky.

I dunno, but they got 19.7 million dollars back from Vick and made the playoffs with a rookie Matt Ryan at the helm.

Yep. Everyone's replaceable.
