Why Didn’t I Guess The Ravens?

The Baltimore Ravens are the only team to admit that they are considering Mike Vick.

How could I have not guessed Baltimore? ravenslewises

I just assumed Oakland would take him. Really, I’m not sure he still won’t end up in Oakland, but I didn’t even consider the Raven and the Ravens have tons of guys that have been in trouble with the law – almost as many as the Bengals had last off season.

Let’s really think about it. Any team that picks up Michael Vick is in for a world of shit.

The PETA protests alone are enough to keep me away from the games.

I think an organization would have to be desperate and a little suicidal to take on Michael Vick after he was convicted of running a dog fighting ring.

Yes, he was an amazing quarterback, but he didn’t get any younger in prison. He didn’t get any more NFL experience in there either.

And even if he weren’t a poison apple, he still takes a lot of risks. Can you imagine weathering the shit storm that came from bringing an animal abuser into your club, paying him millions of dollars that suck up room under your salary cap and then having him blow out a knee in Game 1?

You would have to be nuts.

Or Al Davis.

As much as I am against the league reinstating him in the first place (dick move, NFL) I’ll watch the first game where ever he ends up. I just want to see the show when the animal rights activists go crazy. I have a feeling it is going to be gross.

    I knew my Giants wouldn’t be taking him so I hadn’t really given it much thought, but if I had I probably would have thought of the Raiders first too.

    I feel for the naked women that will end up involved in PETA’s protest. (Because it’s a rule that PETA must involve naked or half-naked women in all of their protests in some capacity.)
