I’m a little late in responding to Charles’s post about the Seahawks possibly picking up Michael Vick, but it must be addressed.
First, Charles does not know football. Charles knows rugby, philosophy and wine. But not football.
It makes little sense for the Seahawks to pick up Vick. For starters, whichever team signs Vick (and someone will) is in for a PR nightmare. I firmly believe that any benefits to acquiring Vick would be outweighed by the obnoxious PETA protests at every game for the rest of ever.
But the real reason Michael Vick will not be a Seahawk is this: We already have a speedy, athletic backup QB with dubious passing abilities.
And besides, Vick has apparently already joined the Washington Redskins:
This image was taken from the NFL pro shop site, but it’s obviously an error. The latest rumors have Vick going to Baltimore.

Right on, Jonah. I mean, god, I hate when people protest, especially PETA. As long as someone’s good at football, fuck dogs — and all other animals too of course. I NEED a goddamn touchdown.
Vick is 10x the QB that Seneca Wallace is.
Baltimore would be perfect.
You can take the Seahawks, Michael Vick, the rest of the NFL, and PETA and make crab food out of them and I wouldn’t miss any of it.
I think some of the reluctance about having Vick on your team is that he was involved involved in gambling on dog fighting. If he is the kind of player who would bet on animals killing each other whose to say he wouldn’t shave a few points off or maybe throw a game. Especially, consideering he may have turned states evidence on associates that he may now owe money to. This guy might as well start working on a rap career or something. His football career is over.
Dogkilling is one thing, but gambling on killing dogs is going too far!
There’s an error in your second paragraph. It should read. “Charles does not know football. Charles also does not know rugby, philosophy, wine or anything else.”
Dumbest man on the planet, and I include George W. Bush in that list.
I’m very surprised the Raiders didn’t jump on that shit. Honestly, Al Davis loves for people to hate him and his team, it’s their whole image.
Signing Vick would not make the seahawks less obnoxious.
Charles knows wine? Dude–that WOULD explain some things!
Irving, glad you got your snarky comment in. Congratulations, you win at internet.
But, yes, being a sadistic fuck is one thing. Being a sadistic fuck for the purpose of profit is another.
Vick brings a bevy of topless PETA protesters to Qwest Stadium, and hilarity ensues.
I hate Michael Vick, I would boycott the Seahawks forever.
Oh wait, I don’t like professional football anyway.
Good Morning Jonah,
I agree, Vick will not be joining the Seahawks anytime soon even though he and Coach Mora are evidently good friends. The reason is more the lack of a need for a back up QB than PETA or other protesters. I suspect Vick will sign with a non-NFL professional team. At 29 y/o (?), he is beginning his decline as an athlete. He was good but not outstanding at Atlanta. So, any team that chooses him is taking a risk in addition to the bad publicity. I wish Vick good luck. He’s gonna need all he can get of it.
