Awwwww, poor Michael. Karma. At least they didn't lift him up and slam him down on concrete or electrocute him. Yes, he paid the price set by the court, but gee, I guess I'll be judgmental and say that price was not nearly enough. He gets no sympathy from me. For money and thrills, he tortured some of God's helpless creatures. Yes, I believe in redemption. Maybe he will earn that by showing kindness and saving animals for the rest of his life. A short time in the slammer doesn't do it.

NOTE: if Canty really did pull a deliberate dirty play and try to cause an injury, the NFL should sit him down for a year. I don't condone that, even against Vick.

Life is tough on running quarterbacks in the pros. I’m surprised he lasted this long.

He’s been complaining all year that the refs don’t call roughing the passer when he is the passer. I wonder what percentage of NFL refs are dog lovers.

Nonsense. Late hits happen multiple times per game in the NFL. And I saw this particular hit -- it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. At most, Canty and the Giants should've been charged with a 15 yard personal foul penalty. But it was boderline, so I have no problem with no flag being thrown at all.

I am a dog lover. He gets no forgiveness from me.

Imagine the commentary if this had happened in the Dog Pound of Cleveland.

Dang! No rib through a lung? A broken hand is to easy on him.

Just amazing that Vick only had a broken hand.

As a QB, Vick took so many chances to get hurt, it almost looked like he was still playing HS football.

Perhaps he should be complaining that some big bully broke his back

I completely agree with your first paragraph. Don’t really care what happened or who did it. Just can’t and don’t feel sorry for Vick. The animals he tortured are still living with that experience and dealing with it daily — those that survived, that is. No sympathy here either. None.

Vick can whine all he wants, but even if the hits were called, no team is going to stop them.

They know the way to beat the Eagles is to knock out Vick and since he is so small, they can do it.

He isn't getting younger and his body is starting to break up.

When you are a QB and act like a RB in the NFL, you are going to be treated more like a RB.

Not condoning deliberate injuries in the least... and I agree with you about the punishment if it’s proven deliberate as well.

However, when I saw Vick saying that the refs weren’t protecting him as well as they should (basically), I couldn’t help but think how fitting it all was...

Poor Michael Vick - the refs aren’t making calls you like. Maybe he should shut up and consider himself lucky that the refs aren’t making him stay in the game with said broken hand and telling him “win or die”.

And seriously - purely in relation to football - if you keep getting hit by the defense CONSTANTLY, you can’t blame something like that on the refs. Either your offensive line isn’t making the necessary blocks, or you are holding on to the ball for too dang long... Blaming the refs? I don’t think so.
