Michael Vick complaining

Just saw a press conference where Michael Vick was complaining that he doesn't get the fifteen yard flags thrown for him when he gets hit like every other quarterback. Doesn't he know that the referees are very big dog lovers??

I think the general consensus is that being a running QB, he's going to get hit more than a throwing QB. He made his name slipping out of tackles, and doing it himself, defenders can't take any chances with him. If he were a pocket QB getting hit the way he does, then there would be more flags, but he's essentially a running back who lines up under center.

It's like Michael Wilbon always says whenever the name Dream Team gets thrown around for whatever reason or whatever sport. There was only 1 Dream Team, and that was the 1992 Olympic Men's Basketball Team.
I never really understood what was so great about this Eagles roster that even started people calling them The Dream Team. Yeah, they signed some good free agents, but it is far from being a dream team. I don't have a problem with the Eagles, but I don't understand this hype at all. I would be willing to bet that ESPN coined the term on a slow news day so they would have something talk about.
That's even worse. One of the guys signed says they're the "Dream Team", and the media actually buys into it.
I think it was Vince Young, their backup/sometime soon starter. And guys, he wasn't complaining he pointed that out himself.
I don't hate Vick the way alot of people do, but does it seem like his vocab is alot less refined than it was a year ago when he was trying to improve his public standing?
the town of philly won 1 ws and have become almost as cocky as the town of boston
hence the hype
And it was injured backup QB Vince Young who said dream team, another idiot. "Dream Team" with Casey Matthews at MLB. :roll:

one guy.
one guy called them the dream team. the back up quarterback. then the media and everyone outside of philadelphia ran with it. :roll:
I haven't really heard anybody inside Phila say that, besides the backup QB. Guess we'll be hearing about it from all these clowns the rest of the year.

Philly fans are funny...
I was actually talking more shit about the media running with it than anybody within Philly. Whoever said it, the media, especially ESPN, has run with it. I pretty much despise what ESPN has become in recent years, I won't watch it except for PTI and ATH. They're essentially going down the same path that cable news has with the 24 hour news cycle, it's gotten ridiculous. They will hype a team, then when they lose complain about how overhyped they were. Whatever game is happening THAT day, no matter how insignificant, is the "Greatest Rivalry In All Of Sports". I think ESPN officially hit the shitter when they started camping out on Brett Favre's front lawn and waiting for any sign whether he would play or retire, like people waiting on the announcement of a new Pope.
no i think "america's team" was what one of the cowboys' season highlight reels was named back in the 70's. so i guess nfl films gave it to them....and then the cowboys went on to embrace it for the next five decades.
lil different here. lil bit.
ESPN has been garbage for a long time. Yesterday Temple had a huge win at Maryland. Highlights: one Temple TD and a 5 minute critique of Maryland's uniforms in their 38-7 loss.

The hilarious thing is that the fans around here are so shifty that the fans outside of Dallas are probably much more loyal than the home town fans are.
This right here. He said he is always on the ground when he throws. He needs to tell his shitty OL to block better.
