" NEW YORK - Roddy White and four other Atlanta Falcons were fined by the NFL for violating uniform regulations with tributes to Michael Vick during last week's Monday night game. Vick, Atlanta's suspended Pro Bowl quarterback, was sentenced to 23 months in prison on federal dogfighting charges the morning of Dec. 10. The Falcons played at home against New Orleans that night. After scoring a touchdown, White displayed a "Free Mike Vick" T-shirt under his jersey. He, along with tight end Alge Crumpler and cornerbacks DeAngelo Hall and Chris Houston, were fined $10,000 each. Crumpler, Hall and Houston all wore black eye strips with written tributes to Vick, which the league called "displaying an unauthorized personal message." Wide receiver Joe Horn was fined $7,500 for pulling up White's jersey to show the black T-shirt with handwritten white lettering. The fines were confirmed Tuesday by NFL spokesman Randall Liu. Hall also had a poster of Vick on the field during pre-game introductions. The Falcons lost the game 34-14."

"DeAngelo Hall "

a class act like DeAngelo Hall would dare to do this?

some of the NFL's policies are retarded...apparently wearing something a couple weekends ago in memory of Sean Taylor was also fineable...yep...a black circle with a white number 21 on it was going to cost you money...however fuck Vick

12/18/2007 1:47:33 PM

Sean taylor was murdered. Mike Vick is a felon.

bit of a difference.

12/18/2007 1:51:20 PM

^^I misread your point. my bad.

12/18/2007 2:02:04 PM

Sean Taylor was lucky not to be a felon

Quote :

"On June 5, 2005, ESPN and The Miami Herald both reported that Taylor, accompanied by his lawyer, surrendered to Miami-Dade police at approximately 10pm ET on June 4 at Miami's Cutler Ridge district police station, where he was transported to Miami's Turner Guilford Knight correctional facility. He was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm, a felony, and misdemeanor battery. .... On January 28, 2006, the Miami-Dade County prosecutor announced that he was filing new charges against Taylor, which would have increased his potential maximum jail time from 16 years to 46 years. The new charges included increasing his felony assault charges from one to three, which reflected the allegation that, on June 1, 2005, he brandished a firearm at three individuals who Taylor believed stole two all-terrain vehicles from him. .... The trial was scheduled to begin July 10, 2006 in Miami but on June 2, 2006 the charges against Taylor were dropped as part of a negotiated plea bargain. Taylor donated his time to various charities and made $1,000 donations to 10 southern Florida schools in scholarships and, in exchange, would avoid jail time and a felony record."

The NFL has fined people for a lot less than this.

It's not racism, it's totalitarianism from Goodell.

12/18/2007 11:43:56 PM

^^i eat tuna. do you eat dogs? did vick eat dogs?

12/18/2007 11:45:26 PM

a life is a life man, don't take the high road on this, you're a fuckin killer too. In fact, you're too pussy to fuckin kill your own shit, because you want to be clean.

12/19/2007 11:25:57 AM

He went to trial and was found not guilty as charged - but was found guilty of a misdemeanor.

If assuming he was guilty makes you happy (even though we know nothing about what really happenned), then go ahead and assume!

12/19/2007 11:34:02 AM

i mean most non-thugs get charged with a few F's and get them dismissed

12/19/2007 11:36:03 AM

Damn dude, you're a serious hater.

You hate on people found NOT GUILTY. And you hate on people that are dragged through the mud for bullshit crimes.

i love putting strangers who i've never met in my life on pedestals, especially when they play for teams that i dont give a shit about

12/19/2007 12:01:36 PM

fuck you asshole

I think YOU ARE IGNORANT

You have a problem with killing a couple dogs when you financially support an industry based on slaughtering animals in factory conditions. Get your head out of your ass.

THEY ARE RUINING VICK'S LIFE, taking his money, his 100 MILLION CONTRACT, fucking up financially his family, over some fucking dogs.

Even if dog fighting is illegal, you think they sentence everyone caught to two years in jail? Don't be ignorant, this shit is a fucking racist witch hunt. Tell me if they caught peyton doing it he'd get anything more than a slap on a wrist.

P.S.

Stop being a fucking cry baby, if you can't talk sports, get the fuck out. Go cry to a system operator about how i'm wasting your time with your "I'll get you suspended" bullshit. Grow up.

12/19/2007 12:03:31 PM

fuck off troll

no Wu torrents for you bitch boy

maybe if you made one single post in Sports Talk that wasnt intentional trolling you wouldnt get fucked like a bitch

12/19/2007 12:04:35 PM

killing dogs for an illegal sport

killing chicken for food

12/19/2007 12:06:57 PM

killing is killing, and if you think kfc humanely kills their animals, keep fooling yourself.

12/19/2007 12:16:32 PM

12/19/2007 12:23:28 PM

2 dead dogs is no reason to ruin a man's life and his and his family's money

and you missed the point completely

12/19/2007 12:23:31 PM

^I thought he helped kill more than that?
