Micheal Vick Community Celebration

Recommended Posts

Will be held August 8th in Newport News, Va. Community Organizers in Vick's hometown are preparing a "Celebration' for the former NFL player. Vick is scheduled to attend and speak at the event, which is intended to give the city a chance to 'enjoy and embrace" him.

Just saying.....I've never been to an event to "enjoy and embrace" an ex-con.

Forgiveness & redemption should be humble not boastful. Nothing says boastful like having a big public celebration for a dude right out of prison. The people who came up with this are complete morons. The ONLY way this has even a smidge of a redeeming quality is if they charge people an fee to attend and donate 100% of it to to an animal related charity or some other charity.

Vick should thank them for the sentiment and decline to participate. He needs to be humble and focused on doing actions that will show his remorse (which I don't believe he has but that's a separate issue).

Great post. He really would look more humble if he politely declined, stating that what he did should not garner celebration.

    • He might have a lucky sack then crickets the rest of the game.
    • Panthers' Bryce Young took a significant step forward in Week 9 Bryce Young is back as the Carolina Panthers‘ starting quarterback, and he is fresh off his best performance of the season. It was an encouraging showing — one that resulted in only the Panthers' second win — for a young quarterback who was previously benched. Highest-Graded Quarterbacks in Week 9 Young finished Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints with a 77.8 PFF overall grade, his highest grade this season and the third-highest of his career. His stat line doesn’t look overly impressive, but a major reason for that is his two big-time throws being dropped and intercepted — two unlucky plays that would have made his box score better reflect his performance. There’s no hiding that the Panthers' offense has struggled with Young under center. The 2023 No. 1 overall pick looked lost and broken in his first two starts of 2024, but after five weeks as a backup, he seems to have found his confidence again, putting together his two best performances of the season since returning to helm the offense. It took until the second quarter for the Panthers' offense to get going in Week 9, but a big third-down conversion led to their first touchdown of the game. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-carolina-panthers-bryce-young-significant-step-forward-week-9
    • This is likely a loss. Just look at the stats of their last game; 26 pass attempts versus 31 runs. Daboll knows well enough not to put everything on Daniel Jones. They'll likely stick to that ratio and only have Jones throw a safe pass or two along with a scramble. A big factor with the Saints is that we somehow found a way to stop their first two drives from being touchdowns, and even forced a three and out or two. That's going to be really hard to replicate, and regardless of QB, we just lack enough offensive power to get into a shootout, especially with our O-line not at full strength. I kinda expect our line to utter collapse and Canales utterly refusing to not go pass happy against a defense much more suseptible to the run. But hey, I'd like to be proven wrong. Maybe Canales will decide to throw Brooks out there for his debut and we end up with the reincarnation of Double Trouble. If we somehow win, that's my guess on how.
