Some may claim that Michael Vick ‘only killed’ or ‘only tortured’ some dogs, and that dogs are lower than humans.  I think that is a stupid debate to enter into in general.  I do not put dogs above humans, but do believe that someone that would torture or kill a dog for fun is likely to be pretty nasty to their fellow humans too.

Regardless, Michael Vick sure has done a nasty number on his former team mates, the Falcon’s organization and the Falcon’s fans.  The latest evidence of this is the fact that the Falcons have lost so much of their audience that the local Atlanta TV station will not even carry their football games any more.  Gilligan’s Island reruns could probably get better ratings.

The Falcons are in need of some life support and several sets of defibrillators because they are flat lining. 

Maybe some day when Vick gets out of prison instead of trying to get back into the NFL, he might consider a nursing career instead.  He could learn a trade and maybe find a way to nurse his old team mates back to health, working off some of that $20 million dollars that he will probably still owe them after bankruptcy.

Then again if the Falcons can’t find a way to get their act together post Vick (and without all that Vick money) then there might be several other people from the Falcons looking to learn a useful trade chasing after nursing careers themselves.
