1. I was elated when the Falcons traded up to draft Vick, since it was such an aggressive, out-of-character move for what has always been a pretty moribund franchise.
2. It was fun for awhile, but I had pretty well soured on Vick before the dogfighting thing came out. I'd decided that he just wasn't a consistent enough passer.
3. So while I wasn't exactly broken up to lose Michael Vick the QB, the 2007 Vick in jail/Bobby Petrino year was so unbelievably awful in so many ways that I will never be able to rationally evaluate either of them again. I wish them both a lot of venereal disease.
4. You can imagine how I felt about Vick when he got out of jail, briefly became the most celebrated player in the league, and said it was because now he'd decided that he actually needed to try hard, as opposed to what he'd done in Atlanta.
5. You can also imagine how I feel about it now that he sucks again.
