Maybe it's just me, but Michael Vick being the most sought after quarterback in the National Football League is a bit ridiculous...isn't it?
There has been a long drawn out process in conjunction with the New England Patriots, or should I say Tom Brady and this whole "Deflategate" nonsense.
For the record, Tom Brady is being vilified for supposedly having a hand in the deflation of footballs during the AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. A game that will forever go down in infamy due the fact that the Colts got their anuses handed to them. Had the Colts won the game, do you actually believe they would've complained about deflated balls??? But this has ballooned into one of the most talked about sports stories in history, I'm guessing it's the sign of the times being how I had a comment battle on you tube with this imbecile over why Brady deserved a harsher punishment other than what's stated in the NFL's own rules and guidelines book, for the penalty of tampering with balls which was $25,000. So this lovely individual goes on to state that WE want more for a punishment. I ask, "Who's WE???" I now understand the WE are those whom Roger Goddell are trying to please by the apparent witch hunt(not really a witch hunt, just a complete waste of time) of Tom Brady.
It might be a reach but last time I checked, Michael Vick was a convicted felon and that's by the standards of the federal government not by a private organizations policies. Its like comparing the FBI to mall security...right! This league[NFL] that seems to bend when the public at large wants to crucify a player for not being an outstanding employee and upstanding citizen, tries to convince us that the integrity of this league actually means something, when any serviceable athlete, no matter his background, is able to obtain a contract worth hundreds of thousands at a minimum is allowed to be apart of this self-proclaimed league of integrity, I call BS! Especially when, now, this league is willing to go through hell and hot water just to get a four game suspension. But I don't blame the NFL only, some of the blame has to go to the Player's Association and their attorney's for making the WORST collective bargaining agreement EVER! They need to fire all association heads and their attorney's and hire all new people. The NFL is flexing its muscles and rewriting its own rules, policies, and guidelines almost like it's the 1940's.
Am I confused?...Only by the word INTEGRITY.
