had to go and make another scene about the shamed quarterback and it was just too much to pass up. The Falcons played the Bucs this Sunday but the big story is not that they lost (pretty tragically might I add). Nope, it is how Vick's teammates reacted to his punishment on the field this weekend.
Five players were fined for their actions after Sunday's game. DeAngelo Hall, Chris Houston, Roddy White and Alge Crumpler were each fined $10,000 for openly expressing their opinions on Vick's incarceration. Hall and Crumpler were both seen sporting eye patches before the game with the message "MV-7" on them. White also revealed into the game that he was wearing a "Free Michael Vick" tee shirt under his jersey.
On top of this, DeAngelo Hall ran onto the field with a poster of Vick which he attempted to post during the game. Maybe it is because they are both former Hokies, but it seems like Hall is the most upset about Vick's punishment.
I feel like their reaction was unwarranted. I mean he openly abused animals! A slap on the wrist was not going to make him learn. And let's be honest ... the league gave these guys a $10,000.00 fine. That is like fining me $1.00. It is NOTHING to them on their multi million dollar income. I guess that they will not learn their lesson either ....

1. Who the hell wasted their time to write this? Can people please get over this MV thing? It's getting so played out. Okay he paid money to have dogs abused, bad, yes we know now he has 23 monthns. Lets move on to somthing more serious like the murder and crime rate in some states is high. All this bull over some damn animals.
