LOL, Fox hires Michael Vick as NFL Kickoff

[HAB911]

and FS1 NFL analyst.

Fox keeps adding to their roster of NFL analysts, and their latest pick seems likely to be controversial. As per A.J. Perez of USA Today, they’ve brought in Michael Vick as an analyst for Fox NFL Kickoff (the early 11 a.m. Eastern pre-game show on Fox, which featured Charissa Thompson, Colin Cowherd, Dave Wannstedt and Charles Tillman last year; Tillman isn’t returning, and Tony Gonzalez has already been announced as an addition, but the full lineup isn’t out yet). Vick will also appear as an analyst on FS1’s debate shows. Perez has some quotes on the subject:

1. animal killer

[HAB911]

3. Kind of fits with Hannity and the remaining pervs

[cwydro]

7. Agree.

Anyone who drowns. electrocutes, and strangles dogs is not redeemable in my book.

Scum.

He's despicable.

[BigmanPigman]

2. Wasn't he busted for pit bull dog fighting? Probably voted for 45.

[TexasBushwhacker]

4. Did 21 months in federal prison n/t

[get the red out]

5. Fox employees another low-life piece of shit

nothing new.

[gabeana]

6. No problem for fox hiring an animal abuser

But Kapernick cant get a job taking a social justice stand by kneeling, I wonder if fox would ever higher Kap for a pregame show? I think I know the answer

[cwydro]

9. He doesn't have a job because his football skills suck.

We all know that the soulless NFL would hire him in a heartbeat if he could win games.

[joeybee12]

11. Exactly

He's a con artist. Made quite a few people think he actually doesn't suck

[gabeana]

22. if you believe that

then both of you don't know football

[joeybee12]

24. Yeah I do

You apparently dont. Ridiculous

[gabeana]

29. great come back

I guess you think you know more than Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers says Colin Kaepernick deserves to ‘be on an NFL roster right now’

It is obvious he is being black balled because he sat for the National Anthem, by a bunch conservative owners

[Dreamer Tatum]

8. I thought he did his time

And that DU gave ex felons a break.

[cwydro]

10. I don't have it in me to "give a break" to anyone who strangles, electrocutes, or drowns innocent

animals.

Nope.

Don't worry yourself about what DU thinks about him. He's probably a millionaire. I just hope he owns no animals.

[joeybee12]

12. Agree

I'm so sick of these apologists for this monster

[cwydro]

13. And there he is - a perfect example of the fact the NFL or networks or whoever -

will hire anyone if they think they've got the skills.

Kaepernick simply doesn't.

I lost any sympathy I had for him when I learned he did not even vote. Seriously? You can take a knee, but you can't get off your privileged pro football player butt to go vote???

[joeybee12]

15. He didn't vote because he said trump and Hillary were the same

I have no use for that level of ignorance

[cwydro]

16. He doesn't appear to be very bright if he thinks Trump and Hillary are alike.

[Dreamer Tatum]

18. Someone needs to write out a formal list

Having a hard time keeping up!

[cwydro]

19. My list is easy.

Abuse toward helpless people...elderly, children, animals...is inexcusable, and shows the abuser to be the coward that he is.

I cannot imagine doing to animals what he did. It makes my skin crawl to think he thinks he's some kind of important person. Sadly, I'm not religious, because at least if I were, I could believe one day he'll roast in hell.

Really doesn't matter; I truly believe anyone who could treat a living creature in that way is without a soul, without a conscience, without any sort of ability to recognize right from wrong.

Time served in prison will not have taught him what he should have been born with as a human being, or at least taught as a child.

I think he is scum. Watching a dog hanging from a rope as it slowly strangles....nope, sorry, no forgiveness or acceptance here.

Ymmv.

[Dreamer Tatum]

20. sounds almost as bad as Jerry Lewis!! nt

[cwydro]

21. Jerry Lewis strangled animals?

Somehow I missed that.

[SammyWinstonJack]

33. +1000000!

[LovingA2andMI]

14. Vick did do his time....

Paid for his crimes and have every right to work where he wants. Also the link, "Awful Announcing" is questionable as at best, it is someone's blog. Reading BEYOND The Headline Is Important.

[HAB911]

23. try this one!

[LovingA2andMI]

25. And Again...

Vick served his time and can work wherever he wants. Period.

[LanternWaste]

32. Who exactly is arguing that he may not in fact, work wherever he wants?

Who exactly is arguing that he may not in fact, work wherever he wants? Question Mark.

[ecstatic]

26. +1. nt

[Skittles]

30. not sociopaths who torture animals

prison is not going to change him

[NightWatcher]

17. But Kaepernick is the pariah of the NFL for taking a silent knee

I still watch a little college football but the NFL can kiss my ass.

[left-of-center2012]

27. Why not Colin Kaepernick?

He could do his broadcast on his knee

[SMC22307]

28. Fuck dog torturer/killer Michael Vick.

Yes, those upthread, he did his time (for bankrolling dogfighting, not animal cruelty) and anyone can hire him, but fuck him regardless.

[MyNameGoesHere]

31. This isn't fair or it is fair.

I don't know which. I think AA men with a felony conviction have a hard time getting gainful employment unless you're a celebrity athlete. I wonder how many AA non-violent felons are also getting jobs at faux?
So good for Vick, but what about other folks that deserve a shot of redeeming themselves and getting a good job?
