What do you think about Vick coming back to the NFL.

 

Yahho News

He needs to stay under a jail somewhere... preferably not breathing. Typical POS modern athlete who thinks he is above everybody and everything.

 

NOT that I have an opinion.

Hopefully Roger Goodell remains the hardass he's been so far and keeps Vick out of the NFL for life.

Dont get me wrong, I dont like Vick as a player, but he went to prison for dog fighting. These are animals, big deal. He didnt do anything to people. Weve become a nation that equates animals to humans. I guess I just dont get it. I grew up on a ranch so I dont see animals the same way other people do. They are a means to survive and make a living not to hang out with and take to the mall and dress up. Sorry Ive been drinking so I am a little out of it.

I agree with you. I love rooster-fights ( yes I know they are called something else, but I know I will catch flack if I call it by the other name), and I really want to see a bullfight. Not sure about dog fights though.

My angle has little to do with the animals. What he did was wrong and highly illegal, but regardless of what you or I think about the animals, this is about the fact that he had (and has) total disrespect for the law and the rules governing the NFL. Even in his statements after being arrested, he was arrogant and acted like a thug athlete... above everybody else and the law.

 

I hardly see how he should be allowed back in the NFL where there are thousands of talented athletes coming from colleges all over that are willing to abide by the rules and deserve a chance over him.

 

Just my opinion.

Vick, MC Hammer, and Mike Tyson should compare notes as to who can flush the $$ down the shitter the fastest...not something to be proud of in my book... :rolleyes:

Especially the ones who talk in the "3rd person".

 

I know John would never do that. :D

 

 

As Jim mentioned, there are more than enough talented athletes that can take his place. Vick had his chance at fame and fortune, but "went back to his roots" and fighted dogs instead. The NFL itself is starting to get lame too, paying all these rookies more and more each year.(Well...letting the teams) I wish they pull back these salary caps, its almost like gov't spending.(Its a similarity, not political)

If he got hit by a truck tomorrow I'd be more upset about the truck.

 

There's treating animals like animals and then there is drowning, electrocuting, beating and strangling them for the sick and twisted steroid-induced pleasure of it. F*CK HIM, period. I don't expect everyone to feel the same way but my dogs are members of my family - the most caring, sane and honest members to boot.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
