"In Order To Be The Man, You Gotta Beat The Man-- "Nature Boy" Ric Flair
Well, it looks like Hades had itself a helluva cold snap...for Michael Vick is now a Philidelphia Eagle. Megajinkies--what a turn of the screw this turned out to be! "Rough Rider" Roger G. decided to let Vick take up his trade...with a few conditions, of course!
So, there is talk about letting Michael Vick play in the last two pre-season games for Philly. Then he must sit out six games...then he's free-and-clear to try to dazzle us fans with his "brilliance" on the field! Or, of course, fall on his over-paid backside and prove what a joke the whole process turned out to be in the first place.
However, the Sword of Damocles hangs over Mr. Vick's career...and his freedom as well. If Michael Vick ends up messing up just once? The NFL will give him the heave-ho...and lock the door behind him.
That's right, kiddies...if Mr. Vick gets caught huffing the hippie lettuce via the "whizz quizz"? Bye-bye playing NFL football! If he's caught in Atlantic City or Las Vegas doing more than sightseeing? He's toast--the burned variety! If he's caught with a Glock (or any other firearm)? The NFL will tell him to take a walk (in addition to what the legal system's gonna drop on him!) and not look back!
Right now, a lot of folks are rooting for Mr. Vick to buck the odds and do the right thing. After all, he's being mentored by Tony Dungy, has a "tough-love" coach in Andy Reid...and has PeTA and HSUS ready to do the "I TOLD YOU SO!" routine if he punts the pooch!
We will see, for if he wants to be the "changed" man, he's gotta beat the "former" man. It's never easy to do so...but if Mike Vick wants to stay out of prison and in the NFL, he has no choice--it's gotta be done.
Otherwise, he'll be saying "good-bye" to playing in the NFL ever again...and perhaps say "hello" to getting his butt tossed into Marion Federal Penitentiary (the last home of John "Teflon Don" Gotti) as a habitual felon.
Like I said: IT'S TIME...IS HE READY?
