Streetalk: Are you for Vick and the Eagles to beat the Falcons?
‘You got players that did a lot worse, shot women, and you’re going to value a dog’s life more than them?’
J.B.: I am pulling for the Eagles. They gave him a second chance, and I’m going to continue to wear his jersey. I’m a die-hard Falcons fan, but the Georgia Dome is Michael Vick’s house. He built that Dome. I’d like to see Vick beat the Falcons to show the organization he’s still got what it takes. You got players that did a lot worse, shot women, and you’re going to value a dog’s life more than them? When the Eagles come on the field, I’m going to be cheering and he’s going to get a warm reception outside of all the haters.
Burak: A mixed emotion day. It will be a much warmer reception than Brett Favre had in Green Bay. You have to remember he resurrected this franchise quite a bit. He should be receiving his respect. I would like us winning the game but for Vick to have a good game, too. If we lose and Vick plays well, I wouldn’t be that so much heartbroken. I respect Vick and what he went through. The punishment was a little bit too harsh. I will give him a standing ovation.
Austin: I’m still a Vick supporter no matter what, but I won’t be cheering for him. I still have the love for him, but it’s all about the Falcons now. He ain’t part of the team. We’re looking good enough without him. I feel sorry for him. I don’t care if he gets knocked out. That’s the way it is. I wish him the best. I’ll cheer for him when he first comes on the field but when the game starts, it’s over. You come into this house Georgia Dome, we own this house. You got to let him know he’s wearing the wrong jersey. They can knock him out. It’s all Falcons, baby.
