Maybe I define honorable differently than you do.
The honorable thing to do in the case of Micheal Vick would have been to condemn his actions and cut all ties with him.
This is a POS who not only fought dogs to the death, he tortured the ones that didn't fight and laughed while they doubtless cried for mercy, I truly hate Vick, he is evil.
PS, what has Blank done that hasn't brought him more fame than being a business man ever could ?
He loves to be in the spotlight. I'm not saying he's a bad owner, but self interest can explain most of what he does. Bernie actually does more, and he doesn't draw attention to himself.
I think sometimes there are those who wish to argue just for the sake of arguing, and nothing more. I cannot (& should not attempt when faced with this type) to reason if the face of this situation. To me? There are simply no winners in that scenario. Only a lose lose. That is far & away beyond me and any meager skills that I might possess. I try to spread (as best as I am able to do so) what is uplifting, & positive, and also to minimize what is depressed, & overwhelmingly negative. There is plenty of that in this world without me contributing to it also. Basically what I have learned, (and hopefully I am still learning to this very day, & will continue to do so) is this: the older that I get? The less that I know. What do I know? GO DAWGS!!!!
I believe that Blank has done the right thing and forgiven him.
Lol. Im starting to see this. Life is how you view it. Fairness is fair to how you view it .... Guess its all a viewpoint and maybe my viewpoint is dude sometimes.
Maybe you’re right... still feel like they lost some big game not to long ago and backed it up with another stellar season. Could be wrong though or
could be my age
That's your guess, but I just think I'm right on these issues.
I hate Vick.
I think Blank is ego driven
I think Julio is wrong to hold out
Those are my true opinions.
I don't dislike Blank, I'm glad we have an owner who is all in.
I don't hate, or even dislike JJ, I just think he's going about this wrong.
And again Geez. .You win @WCDawg I am not arguing here sir.
?
I simply don't see value in calling a man who is seemingly only self interested a great person, he is a very good team owner though.
If you want to praise a truly giving HD founder, look at what Bernard Marcus does in the background.
The Edisons of this world will always get the lion's share of praise, but it's the Westinghouses who deserve it more.
.
Do, don't it's all good.
Seriously though, I ams what I ams.
You posted something about Blank that I disagree with, I think he is a self promoter, which isn't in itself a bad thing, but I try not to confuse it with real altruism, or at least caring and modesty like Bernie seems to have.
Marcus concentrates on real charities, though he did fund the Aquarium. Blank builds monuments to himself.
T.O. and Charles Barkley (IMO) are just 2 old men sittin on the front porch, holding a glass of tea, jaw jackin about whatever brings them the most attention. Attention mongers all day.
I’ll bet TO is fun to be around, just can’t take his schtick too seriously.
Barkley might be fun, but T.O...not really.,at least not for my taste.
It's amazing that Jones is looking for a new contract & you say they should trade him. Matt Ryan is close to be the best QB in the NFL but he got a **** good contract that makes him one of the highest paid QB in the NFL. Jones means more to the Falcons that Matt Ryan does but did you say trade Matt Ryan when their was rumors of him getting a New contract. Some of you guys are something else
