Well the Atlanta Falcons coach resigned today to take the head coaching job at Arkansas. Now I have read that the way he did it was classless and he left the team hanging this far into the season but I do not agree. I believe the behavior of the idiot players on this team or at least quite a few of them showed that this organization is out of control.
First the coach comes into the job situation believing he will have Michael Vick as his QB. Well turns out Mr. Vick was not such a nice person he made out to believe. He ran an illegal dog fighting operation for 6 years out of a house in VA. So he gets sent to the poky, good riddance. Now even though Vick plead guilty in a court of law and was sentenced to less that half of the time he could have gotten some of his former "teammates" feel it was unjust.
Alge Crumpler the starting Tight End has over and over stated how bad he feels for Vick and how he is not a bad guy and doesn't deserve what is happening to him. Mr. Crumpler you should just grow up and realize that if you do the crime you do the time.
DeAngelo Hall starting Corner Back for the Falcons, at the start of the Monday Night Football game, brings out a Michael Vick poster to show his support. DUH! hello he was just sentenced following a guilty plea by Michael Vick, why are you supporting him like this on the day he is sentenced. Pathetic typical thug behavior for a professional athlete. This is the same player who earlier in the season racked up 65 yards in penalties on 1 drive alone to allow the opponent to get in for the winning score then yelled at the coach on the sideline when he was told what an IDIOT he was. I mean he cost his team the whole game with his actions.
Roddy White starting Wide Receiver for the Falcons, actually finds a way to hang on to a pass for a touchdown (which is newsworthy in its own right since he usually drops anything coming his way) raises his shirt after the TD and shows hand scrawled lettering to "Free Mike Vick". Again this is the same day he was sentenced after pleading guilty!!!! Do these idiots just not get how life works or are they that spoiled where they have to behave in such a boorish manner?
Joe Horn another starting Wide Receiver for the Falcons helps Roddy White pull up his jersey to show the hand scrawled message. You are a veteran of the league brought in by the Falcons to provide the "veteran presence" for the young receiving core and you think this is how you do that? You are now Captain Idiot of the Falcons squad.
And at least 2 of these yahoos Crumpler and Hall have publicly questioned and gone behind Coach Petrino's back to the media whining about the new coach this year. So obviously the Falcons have not done a very good job of drafting players who have any sort of decent moral fiber and they are paying for it and I do not blame this coach for high tailing it out of town. He came in expecting to coach men to a division championship and hopefully a Super Bowl and found out instead that he had a locker room full of thugs, idiots, and malcontents. Coach I am just glad you got the chance to escape that pit of doom.
This coming from a UGA Bulldog fan, I hope you do have success at Arkansas (except when playing UGA) and I hope you can just forget the last year having to deal with these overpaid underclassed pathetic excuses for members of society who are paid so much to play a game and instead have to act like fools.

Michael Vick - Update
Well it's finally over Mr. Vick has been sentenced to 23 months for his role in being the crime boss for a dog fighting ring. Considering the other sentences for those involved I feel it is appropriate. Though if you were to check out the comments on any of the sports sites you would think that this was nothing other than a race issue and Mr. Vick was being railroaded.
I couldn't disagree more. Let's just actually look at the facts of the case:
1. He started this operation 6 years ago after signing his first contract with the Falcons. (6 YEARS AGO!!!!)
2. When confronted by the authorities, he continually lied to the authorities, during interviews with the media, the Falcons and the commissioner of the NFL Roger Goodell.
3. There were 2 co-defendants who implicated Vick of participating in the killing of under performing dogs.
4. There is a history of bad behavior from Vick. Infecting a women with herpes without telling her he had it, while using an alias in the relationship. The dope scented water bottle at the Miami airport. And now the dog fighting charges, which he plead guilty too!
5. He failed a drug tested and admitted using marijuana while out on bail awaiting his trial and sentencing. (kind of makes it look like even more of a cover up there in Miami now doesn't it!)
I said in an earlier post that if he is found guilty he should be thrown out of the NFL for good. After cooling off I am going to change this though. Once out of the poky if Vick actually show remorse does some donating to the Humane Society or ASPCA (NOT PETA!!!!!) and maybe does some public service work for the Humane Society or ASPCA (NOT PETA!!!!) then it should be at the discretion of the league and the commissioner whether he deserves another chance at playing. Truthfully I never expected the case to go this far, I was expecting some cop out from the legal system as so often happens with celebrities now a days. But he was given a fair sentence so once his time is served and if some team wants that baggage then they should feel free to sign him to a contract, though they have to realize the protests which will occur by PETA (MORONS!!!!) if he ever is signed.
I hope he does take the time to realize and learn from his mistakes and that he comprehends the unbelievable fall he has take from grace. Maybe, just maybe he will wake up turn his life around and contribute to society. If he makes amends and supports those groups working to stop something like dog fighting that would be a huge step. And if he makes it back to the NFL after that then I say let him be and let him play and earn a living at it. Somewhere, sometime, there has to be a story of someone turning their life around after a mistake and this would be a good lesson for the younger players about how not to get into trouble and if they do how to work their way back into the folds of society.

Ronald McDonald House's -The Best
Wow, what an incredible charity this is. The Ronald McDonald House's across the globe. I have heard of them and really thought they were only next to big hospitals and for terminally ill children. And that would be fine. Those kids who are so sick god knows they need all the help they can get and deserve it.
Well our son #1 needed a surgical procedure done, it was not elective and later in life could mean a great deal to him and us as a family. Yes it was painful and he will be hurting for a few days but compared to those other who were there and whose life depends on it, this was a lesser scale. My son is overall healthy happy and loved beyond belief.
But the people with Ronald McDonald charities and the Ronald McDonald house well they need to be screamed about because they are just that great.
I have new heroes in the world today and it is those who server the Ronald McDonald houses and those who support them. You see them everyday in front of the registers at every McDonald's around. Drop a dime or quarter in the slot. Well I bet they are seeing a big drop off with the advent of debit and credit cards being used at all locations. But people please find some change or bills and donate this place is more peace of mind that you can believe. Let's all step up and make sure we drop some change or bills next time we are in McDonald's.
So my son needed a procedure done and they offered the night at a Ronald McDonald house for $10. Well we are not rich we are a military family and I work from home doing remote computer work so the money gets by but not much more. So yes we accepted.
Well the people at this place are great, they gave us all the rules and liabilities and we went to our room. Was it huge, no I actually slept on the floor, we had mom and baby girl in one bed and the boys in the other and I grabbed some floor. Hey we couldn't afford $80 to $120 a night so it was great. Yeah the floor sucks but the people and what they do for you and how they treat you make up for it completely.
I played pool and ping pong with the kids the night before the surgery, they loved it and by the time it was quiet hours they were pretty much ready for bed. Morning was coming quick since we had to get up at 5:45am.
So we went to the hospital and knew we had to check out later (sorry it's not a hotel and they don't have the manpower to be at the desk at 6am to check you out). I took the younger two kids back later to check out and make sure the van was warmed up for son #1. Well then they shocked me even more.
They asked all about the younger two kids who were there and told them no kid leaves a Ronald McDonald house without a stuffed animal and a quilt (real hand made quilts too I couldn't believe it) so they picked out their animals and I picked one for the oldest who was still in recovery. His brother picked out the quilt. Then they give us 2 board games and a basket with goodies for all the kids.
Who does this now a days? No one I know of, but they believe in it there and the Ronald McDonald house and did it. All 3 kids were so happy it didn't matter where or how they slept the night before. And they invited us back in case son #1 needs a follow up later, which he does.
Amazing these people shocked and rocked my whole world.
If you have a heart and love kids at all you will contribute, I know they are now at the top of our list and yes we contribute out of every check to the charities of our choice.
Thanks
