Sickening.

I don't know about courage, but he's got some nerve I'll say that much. Scumbag.

Hasn't even gotten thru the season and their already bestowing him w/ awards. Amazing. Any thing Philly can do to raise his stock. Since his stats surely won't do that.

"exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage," that the recipient "symbolizes professionalism, great strength, and dedication," that the recipient is a "community role model,"

How is Vick any of these? I mean he has done a satisfactory job of not murdering dogs and hasn't gotten a single felony.

Another reason to loathe Philly

Of course this means they are going to the Super Bowl with my luck this year.

[Jbro]

Philly is trying hard to get a 1st rounder for him.

[King Taharqa]

Congratulations Vick.

[Matt Foley]

He's the frontrunner for the Nobel Peace Prize next year.

Big ups and major props to Vick

[PantherDude]

What a fuging joke! Vick didn't do anything good to deserve the award. He got it because of his name.

And he isn't really sorry for what he did: he's sorry he was caught!! :rolleyes5:

[AKPantherFan]

i forgave him, you guys should too...

i hope he makes the best out of his second chance..

Adversity is one thing. Courage something else.

Vick put himself in this spot. I typically like to view courage as overcoming something you had ZERO control over.

But his teammates voted for it so that's on them.

[Bobby]

I guess he didn't knowingly give anyone herpes this year, that has to count for something.

[Lumps]

Vick = trash and is even dumber than McNabb.

What did he do that took courage again? Come back to the NFL? He doesn't care about anyone and where else is he going to go and do? Only a city like Philly would see Vick as courageous.
