Michael Vick Models his newly redesigned helmet for next season

Even Atlanta fans must be getting tired of Vick...
The beat-writers sure are...this is the first Vick must go article I've come across, but its pretty good...

Look I can overlook a bit of "stonerism" if doesn't harm anyone and what a person does in the privacy of their own home is their business as far as I'm concerned...but to have the so-called "Leader" of the franchise be running around trying to bring his stash-hide-water-bottle through airport security??? UM HELLO, Earth-to-Vick, didn't we recently just have a HUGE airline terrorism scare in 2006; after which almost any liquid item was BANNED from airplanes??? You remember, training camp, (oops well maybe you can't remember that far back), no water, no soda, no hair gel, no baby forumla!!! So how smart is it to try and bring a water-bottle with a contraband compartment onto a plane...and we wonder why this guy hasn't been able to grasp a offense in 6 years?

Are these the actions either Arthur Blank or the NFL wants associated with one its highest-paid, highest-profile athletes (pun intended)??? This Atlanta writer questions whether Vick's image has been indelibly tarnished. Now for my part, he didn't have much of an image to tarnish, but if I was a Falcons fan (and thankfully, I'm not) I'd be hoping new head coach Bobby Petrino made the Atlanta QB job and open competition this August between Vick and Schaub...he might just find that he's a good QB and decent RB in those two players...
