Pretty Much Everyone Thinks Michael Vick is a Whiner (PIC)

Following Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants – which he left early with an injured right hand - Eagles QB Michael Vick took some time to complain about the officiating in the game, wondering why the hits he takes don’t draw the 15-yard penalty flags that most quarterbacks in the league get. Since that time, pretty much everyone in the world – including most current and former NFL QBs – have been rolling their eyes at Vick, and suggesting that he keep his mouth shut. The banner pic above was the back cover of today’s NY Post, in which the Giants players show no sympathy for Vick, and expresses what a lot of us have been thinking for the past two days.
Leading the charge is former super-bowl winning QB and ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer, who seems to be making it his personal crusade to make sure that everyone knows how out of line Vick was with his comments. Yesterday, Dilfer went on The Herd with Colin Cowherd on ESPN Radio to call Vick out, saying that a simple look at the numbers would prove that Vick draws as many penalites, if not moreso than the rest of the QBs in the league. He also suggested that Vick broke every QB man code in the book by complaining about hits, especially in a league that goes out of its way to protect quarterbacks.
And on last night’s Monday Night Countdown, when Tom Jackson and Keyshawn Johnson started to defend Vick’s statement, Dilfer launched into another tirade, pointing out video of a helmet-to-helmet hit on Falcons QB Matt Ryan from last week that didn’t draw a flag, and essentially calling Vick a big pussy:
“Michael Vick does not have a case here. It’s perception vs reality. He’s not taking any more hits than anybody else is taking from the pocket. It happens all the time, it’s a subjective call, and it’s not happening more to Michael Vick than anybody else. Frankly, I’m a little disgusted that a quarterback’s going to get up there and complain about that after the game when the Eagles have other issues.

SportsCenter: The Chattering Din
Goatboy = better than Dilfer (Image: TheSportsHernia)
I was almost done with SportsCenter after Favre un-retired again, but after Monday, I am done. I will not be watching. They are idiots.
First this:
“Why would Favre come back for 20 million, his legacy, he is waffling, the fans, the Jets, blah, blah, blah.” – WHAT THE F$%K!!! IS this Russia? Jesus f*%k. Who in their right mind doesn’t come back for that money, with that running back, and defense, in a dome when he cant play in the cold anymore… how is there even a tiny hole in the move?
The Vikings could go with Farve, or they could have gone with TJ or SAGE F*%KING Rosenfels who is a homeless man’s 2004 Drew Bledsoe. Jesus Christ. No Brett, stay on your farm, stay in your red shorts, and don’t go to a great situation with more money then any of us will EVER see in our lifetimes. Don’t set up your family, and their families, and their families for life, don’t be a wealthy man, don’t take a chance, don’t gamble, and don’t be a f*cking man – F*CK YOU. If I was an athlete that played at the caliber of some of these aging stars, I would play until I was on the bench in the CFL… why quit what you love to do – fail, who gives a shit – Brett Farve, and his family are set for life. What MAN doesn’t do that for his soul as a competitor and his family? Turn down what was is it, 14 million dollars?
Save it for someone else Trent
Trent f%#king Dilfer that’s who. What a small-minded f*ck. I just wow… wow wow wow. SportsCenter is like a Ayn Rand villain – Don’t do what you are good at, even if you fail, because it make US feel bad to see you succeed. What are we Poland?
THEN THIS? This!:
“Why would Belichick, go for it on 4th and two? Why, what an awful move!!” WHAT THE F*CK, the defense is winded Peyton Manning is the new Brady with 2 minutes to go, who the fuck doesn’t think that Brady can’t get 2 yards on a 4th down, and the average NFL play is 4 yards… F*CK YOU! Jesus f**king Christ. Honestly the football coverage on that network is f*cking stupid, always conservative, goes for cheap jokes, and says nothing new. Trent Dilfer… TRENT DILFER doesn’t like what Bill f**king Belichick called? Are you kidding me?
Why would anyone tune into hear that? Why? I know I wont. I wont ever again. Not ever f*cking again. That network is dead to me. ReadAndReact is where I go for news.
