And was the one who made the game reasonably close...so it probably will happen...$100 million down the drain for Philly.

Perhaps you want to think of what you would call a white man convicted of a similar crime and use that instead.

I don't think Vick would have faced the same backlash if he was white.

And when I hear "Thug" I think of Gangsta Rap. So you can understand how I made the connection.

He's ridiculously overrated as a player because the rabid right wing is in love with him for doing an anti-abortion commercial, but it isn't his fault people worship him.

I have to admit I'm laughing my ass off over New York picking him up. I knew one loss with Sanchez at the helm would incite the Tebow crazies like it did in Denver with Orton last year. It's nice to have a real QB for a change, but Orton beat the snot out of Tebow.
