Is anyone else sick of hearing about high profile players getting arrested or having allegations thrown at them? I know I am. And the worst part is not the inability of these "naturally good hearted guys" to stay away from trouble, or whether or not they can apologize effectively enough for us to forget it all, but more, our eagerness to allow it to continue.

Who to pick when dealing with Vick?

 Right now, I'm heaving a large sigh....

Why?

Because Michael Vick is killing Arthur Blank and the Atlanta Falcons.

I say Arthur Blank because he's really the one who matters with these incidents. He's the Home Depot good humanitarian who is the extremely high profile owner of the Atlanta Falcons. He's the one who pushed Michael Vick in the wheel chair. He's a great guy. Do a google search on Arthur Blank and you'll see nothing but good works for the community from a great guy.

Blah, blah, blah, nothing interesting another executive who works for the United Way....yawn, it's all gravy... At some point it gets nauseating, but Arthur Blank (himself) is not really at that point. The Atlanta Falcons (particularly Michael Vick) have a different diagnosis, don't they?

Wait, what's this: Michael Vick and The Atlanta Falcons lose to the Browns and Lions in consecutive weeks where Vick plays extremely badly? Oho, what's this Michael Vick flipped off the fans? Did Jim Mora Sr. just say that Michael Vick is a coach killer? Did Jim Mora Jr. just say that he wanted to coach Seattle and isn't he the coach of the Atlanta Falcons? Is that Michael Vick telling sources last year at the Pro Bowl that he's not comfortable with the offense?
