What a moron!

His brother getting thrown out of college makes total sense now.

Who would want Vick? He has not matured into a useful QB and remains a scrambling gimmick: A player that you have to reconstruct your entire offense around. What offensive coordinator wants to sit back with a tally sheet, making sure that Vick has had an opportunity to run the ball X times in the quarter? To top it off, he is very high-maintenance, and requires a large degree of reassurance from player and coaching staff alike, as well as ample platforms to speak his mind. He's like TO without the endzone dances.

I'm starting to think it's all about the money ... the 100 million dollars or so in a ten year contract, yep

.... I think it's the money at least in private office chats that must be a serious consideration.

Having Michael Vick on your roster will cost you money. You're not going to bring your wife and kids out to see "the dogfighter".

I think all the major sports league have turned away from their hardcore fan base, and tried to appear more family friendly.

Vick is like the third guy lighting the cigarette.

Vick is an athletic specimen like I've never seen. And incredible athelete, and a very talented player.

But, Takeda is on the money. It just aint worth it. As amazing an athelete as he is, I dont see him being so valuable as a QB as to tear your offense down to scratch for him....

Besides. If it turns out he took part in dog fighting and stood by as dogs were killed or maimed, I dont want him to ever have a job again. So there ya have it.
