Yeah that's my problem....I can give you examples if you want. Longtime Falcons fan here...still hate the ******.
I can understand you not liking him as the QB. I'm also a falcons fan. But I always have a problem when people seem to hate people the probably don't even know well or have never met with such vitriol. I think thats a problem in our world today.
I don't like Hilary Clinton, but I won't say I hate her or use foul language to describe her. Because she's still a human being and a mother.
I can understand hating Hitler or Jack the Ripper or something but what did Micheal Vick ever do to you personally.
If its the giving the finger to the fans thing, yeah that was a classless move but not worthy of hate especially if the report that a fan insulted his mother is true.
So as a fellow Falcons fan can you please tell me why you "hate the F***er" so much?
He's done just as much good for the team as bad. 2 playoff appearances in his 5 FULL years as starter and taken our (mostly mediocre) team 1 game away from the superbowl. Our defense sometimes performs admirably and at other times is an eyesore, our line can't block, our recievers can't catch and Vick is often erratic and inaccurate. But for the most part I think he re-vitalized the Franchise and with all the talent we have on bord now and Coach petrino running a really tight ship and a more traditional blocking scheme, I'm hoping to see a big improvement from our team.
I will admit that this just might be a make or break year for Vick. I'm willing to give him 2 more years tops to show marked improvement and if he can't get the job done, bring on Shockley!!!!
