Step right up and win some crap!
The Falcons are trying to trade Mike Vick, who’s due to be released from the cross-bar hotel right around the time training camps start. Here’s a look at some of the responses Atlanta has received thus far:
* some old jumper cables, four bottle caps, and a marble
* Brian Russell
* an AOL CD from 1997 (1045 hours free!!!)
* Mike Vick rookie card
* two first rounds picks (Snyder, you dumbass)
* uncomfortable silence, followed by derisive laughter

*Vick’s dignity.

Al Davis might be willing to trade the secret of reanimating the dead.
February 13th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
How about straight up for the Sussex?

How ’bout a few shares of PetsMart stock? They’ve been performing well lately.

I’ll trade him for my beagle, keep my pit bulls and he can sleep in the pen with them in a tasteful sirloin 3 piece suit.

Jerra Jones offer: a BUCKET-O-CRAZY and a bag of dicks.
February 13th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Jerry Jones is furiously putting together a package of draft picks to complete this trade.
February 13th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
As a Jags fan I would trade Garrard for him skraight up right the fuck now!
February 13th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Why would the Falcons try to get rid of Vick?

*A free DVD bundle of Queen Latifha movies.
February 13th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Alright, you can have Michael Vick for $8, but the Atlanta Falcons get to keep this old birdcage.

*straight up for Marcus Vick.
February 13th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Fuck me, but I kind of would like to see him play for my Jets. If so, I promise to tape over Namath’s name on my Jets jersey with R. Mexico when I go to training camp. I’m already giddy about it.

AL Davis ain’t old enough, Jerry Jones ain’t crazy enough, but Daniel Snyder just might be dumb enough to trade for Vick.
February 13th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
How about straight up for Rae Carruth? Anyone? Anyone?
February 13th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
*Cadillac Williams’ healthy MCL. No, the other one.
February 13th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
No “Brian Fucking Russell” tag?
February 13th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
@Charlie:
Rae is “untouchable”, but you could probably get that “#1 Dad” mug he uses to drink prune-o out of in jail…
February 13th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
Here is our offer Atlanta. You can have the boat or the Mystery Box.
A boat’s a boat, but a mystery box could be anything. It could even be a boat. We’ll take the Mystery Box.

This isn’t relevant, but as I type this, Tony Kornheiser is wearing a Snuggie on PTI.
February 13th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
ESPN would trade for him and then put him on live TV offering hourly free shots at him.
February 13th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I’ll give Aurthur Blank 40 bucks a week if he sends Vick over to cut my lawn. (He’ll go for it cause he’s a —- JEW!)
February 13th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
I’m surprised there’s no trade value at all in a guy who can be compensated almost entirely in bud and legal help. Think of the cap savings!
February 13th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
PLEASE BE A JET, and get farve to mentor him for a year
February 13th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
What no TJax offers, people?
February 13th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Vick for Tarvaris Jackson? To borrow the words of a much fatter Vikings fan: Fuck. And. Yes.

I’d trade Tomlinson’s post season resume for him.
February 13th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Sorry, Punch Rockgroin, but the Crypt Keeper is probably working on getting some kind of Plex-Pacman-Vick package deal as I type this.
February 13th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
At least get the secret to reanimating the dead so we can unleash the Zombie Gene Upshaw.
February 13th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
The Panthers have offered the rights to Fred Lane
February 13th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
As if the Seahawks would give up Brian Russell for so little.
February 13th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
The Panthers offered Jerry Richardson’s old heart

Now, you can either have the washer and dryer where the lovely Smithers is standing, or you can trade it all in for what’s in this box.
THE BOX! THE BOX!

I would be one of those “oh please, not my Raiders” types except that the team stinks so bad, this could only serve to make things interesting. Bring in Vick as a Wildcat QB and spot receiver. If nothing else, there would be Raiders highlights on Sportscenter again.
Especially after Vick’s first foray across the middle that ends in a crushing hit. Back, and to the left…
February 13th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
I’ll put up a mini disc player for the rights of Michael vick

On an unrelated note, I will be adjourning myself for a 3 night stay in Las Vegas. My nephew, a certified goddamn war hero after two full duties in Iraq, has not been to Vegas since he was 12. I promised him during his last visit that when he got out I would be offering my services as life consultant, Hoo-ah specialist and all around escort kinda guy. We have 3 nights, including Valentines Day in VEGAS!. Rooms and flight are paid for.
First of all, to be honest, I want to be the first one laid. I love him and all but a drought is a drought. Secondmost, yes I have done Vegas often for the past 25 years but as I get older, the more the doubt reaches in. You know..Am I young enough? Am I too old? When does a comb-over become a comb-over? You know that type of shit. Can I ever eat a plate of hot wings again without throwing out a perfectly good pair of boxer-briefs?
But I digress..
I can play some blackjack and oh, yeah, WE GON DRANK!

Straight up for Darren Sharper’s hyperbaric(sp?) chamber. And fine… throw TJack in, too.

BREAKING NEWS: The Jets offered a Keyshawn Johnson jersey and three used condoms for Michael Vick. Owner Woody Johnson explained the trade, remarking that, “Hey, it worked for Thomas Jones…” A team source informs us that Brian Schottenhiemer, upon hearing that the trade may take place, began furiously putting together a playbook for a quarterback with a weak but accurate arm and no mobility, so as to completely misuse Vick. The Jets had no comment on this development.
February 14th, 2009 at 5:01 am
So, at what point did most people apparently forget that Michael Vick sucks? I mean, he’s not a good quarterback. And he’s a convicted felon. Double J, you sure you don’t want a crack at this guy?
p.s. OMG, I saw Jamal Anderson sucking some cracker’s wang at seriously,no one goes to your fucking website because you spam on here.
Oh, .com.

February 14th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
@EEC
Please, why would you give a strong and mobile but inaccurate quarterback a playbook that suits him? Nah. We need more tricky complicated routes.

I think it speaks volumes about Michael Vick that the fact he intentionally gave some bar skank herpes doesn’t even make the top five of his douche-bag resume.
February 14th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I’ll give one dollar AND NINE CENTS for him.

Proposed three-way trade:
Knicks send Stephon Marbury and Allan Houston’s contract (still 2 years and $35 million remaining) to the Cowboys.
Cowboys Terrell Owens to the Knicks, and a seventh-round draft pick in 2012 and the rights to Drew Henson to the Atlanta Falcons.
Atlanta Falcons send Michael Vick to the Cowboys.

THIS JUST IN: Detroit trades Calvin Johnson for Michael Vick.
The ford family figured Vick was likely very good at avoiding tacklers in prison and can simply run the offense on his own.

One slightly-used pouch of Fun Dip, minus sugar stick.
February 15th, 2009 at 3:34 am
Hell, let the Falcons keep Vick as a backup. If there’s anything that the metro Atlanta area needs, it’s more racial tension. Keeping Vick would definitely bring things to a boil.
February 15th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Matt Millen has offered Costas, Bettis, Collingsworth and NBC’s 1st round pick in order to get Vick.
February 15th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
McGruff the Crime Dog is really interested in a deal for Michael Vick.
February 16th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
He’s gonna get picked up for league minimum by somebody. Remember Lawrence “I like to beat on my chick” Philips, who is now doing time for driving his hoopdie through some guys after a neighborhood pickup football game? Yeah, St. Louis gave him his 3rd shot at the NFL. In fact, SF and StL are looking at Vick, again, for league minimum. It’s a joke that Atlanta thinks someone will pick up his contract at $54M.
