Random Rant vol. 30: The Vick Redemption

"The world's back on my d**k, I'm Mike Vick'n it"...lyrics from the always on point emcee from Yonkers, NY, Jadakiss that sum up Michael Vick's incredible comeback this season (check the verse here from Jadakiss & Styles P - So Appalled freestyle)...when the Eagles picked up Vick most of the general public thought that this was an insane move for the Eagles organization...many people thought he didn't deserve to play, he shouldn't have the opportunity to correct his life or shouldn't even get a second chance to redeem himself (crazy to me because he killed dogs not people, though he did deserve to be punished. Here's my hierarchy of life: 1) humans 2) most animals 3) bugs and rodents 4) child sex offenders)...I must say though I'm a Cowboy fan (damn we are struggling and look bad this season) who's team is in the same division as the Eagles, I enjoy watching the Philadelphia Eagles play with Michael Vick at QB...

I like to see when anybody can correct their bad decisions or misfortune and turn it into a 'rags to riches' -esque story...although in Michael Vick's case he already had riches so its a 'riches to rags back to riches' story...i said in a previous rant that once he started winning games all of those animal loving Philadelphians that boycotted outside of Lincoln Financial Field would go away and whatta ya know, you see no boycotting of Vick now...in America regardless of your crime or mishap if you produce money or win games you get forgiven...don't get me wrong, their are some people that still wanna see Vick fail and stumble...its just that you don't hear them now because he's doin so well on and off the field...

The Monday Night Football game against the Redskins further solidified Vick's redemption as he threw for 4 TDs and ran for 2...even if you're a hater you must recognize and realize Vick is an incredibly talented QB that the NFL has never seen before and right now is 1 of the top 10 QBs in the league...Vick congrats and maybe Nike will be calling you for an endorsement deal again...

p.s. - remember haters gonna hate

holla,
