..Maybe now the sports media's love-fest with Michael Vick will cool off a little...
Yup..one local writer called the Bears "putrid"..and "mediocre"Incidentally, most predictions had the Bears finishing with a losing record and out of the playoff picture. Some picks had the Bears at the bottom of the NFL and Lovie being fired...
Hard to believe that is the same team that laid down for the Bears last week... wow
Minnesota, who looked like they had no interest in playing aginst the Bears last week, beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-14. This might be one of the most shocking wins this season. The Bears have now clinched a 1st round buy.
I thought exactly the same thing...and were Vick playing in just about any other media market besides Boston, NY, or Philly, he wouldn't get half the notice...
Hey -- I like Michael Vick, and fully understand a lot of animal lovers hate the guy and will never forgive him...
BUT I am one who isn't such an animal lover to say that what Vick did, although illegal, isn't anywhere near as immoral as what's going on just about anywhere else.
Bravesfan -- I have always been a "law and order" guy and do not like seeing anyone commit crimes or even inappropriate behavior...
But I am repeatedly astounded by the degree the press highlights and denigrates an athlete (or any celebrity) for cruelty to animals or even the silly, almost juvenile act of texting a crude message to a woman...
Note how they tore Tiger Woods apart when he broke NO LAW, and how the media is ripping into Brett Favre for just doing what teenagers do all the time.
And yet other stars in and out of sports hire their own personal doctors to deliver illegal intravenous drugs in their homes, rappers shoot and kill each other practically every day and when they're not they're "rapping" and assaulting women and doing drugs, and politicians break every moral law in the books...and this stuff seems to be accepted as just part of the Hollywood and Washington life style!
BTW -- did anyone feel the earthquake this morning that was centered just north of Indianapolis?
