Monday Night Football disgrace

Sign in to disble this ad
Falcons receiver catches a touchdown pass.

His celebration includes pulling up his jersey to reveal an undershirt that says FREE MIKE VICK.

***? I hope:

1) The coach rips him a new one
2) The NFL fines the **** out of him

How tasteless, IMO.

Since when was it illegal to support a friend? If the coach rips him a new one, I hope the coach gets fired. if he gets fined than I think that is horribly stupid.


BTW I do not promote dog fighting or any kind of animal abuse whatsoever, Nor do i promote the actions of Mr. Vick.

Mike Vick is a disgrace to the league. As much as these guys don't want to be role models, they are.

I hope he gets suspended and fined, Mr. Vick is a convicted criminal and that pulling that stunt is pretty much stating he didn't think Mike Vick did anything wrong and is wrongly imprisoned.

I can forgive Roddy White or any of his teammates for not knowing how to act when he gets in the endzone. Playing for the Falcons, it doesn't happen very often.

Guaranteed he gets fined. That would be considered using a prop, and since this year they have banned the use of props for celebrating a score.

If that's true (not doubting it), then I'd definitely consider that shirt as a prop. I know he's defending a friend most likely, but rules are rules.

chad johnson should teach an offseason clinic on hwo to properly celebrate in the end zone. he sets the bar for wild onfield antics and never does it in a stupid, classless way.

+100000000000 on that one. He's on COMPANY time, like the nice TB'er stated above. If I did that, I'd get canned.
