Comment contest winners: Craig's list
Man, oh, man. What a week. Between the Michael Vick sentencing, the Bobby Petrino resignation and Spygate II, this has been wall-to-wall.
The comments were spectacular.
"Craig" was on a roll this week, and wins two of the top three prizes:
Bill Champlin on whether Michael Vick should ever play football again:
"Michael Vick should not be permitted to play ever again. What kind of message does this send to our younger generation? It's high time this country takes a stand on these types of issues with anyone who is in the public eye. By allowing Vick back in the game we are condoning his crime. This is a grown man that knows the difference from right or wrong."
Craig on the same subject:
"I think he can and should get the opportunity to try out once the NFL reinstates him. Will he be worth the cost? Contactually and socially to the organization that signs him? Probably not. A few years removed from training, his physical skills will have diminished. This QB wins games with his legs more often than his arm. I am not sure the risk v reward proposition is favorable to the signer; but there will be one."
Craig on the Petrino resignation:
"Love it! Mora was tossed out like trash while Blank smoked his Vick pipe. Chickens, fried no doubt, have come home to roost."
Tony Maturo on Spygate II:
"Just more about nothing. If Mangini had permission, and he must've since the league didn't intervene, then it's a non-story. The fact is Belichick BROKE THE RULES by taping DURING A GAME from the SIDELINES. PERIOD. Teams do stuff all the time, and go right to the edge of legality sometimes, to gain an advantage. So for blatantly breaking the NFL's rules after having been warned by the league, Bellichick deserved to be reprimanded. Does it have anything to do with beating the Jets or any other team during his tenure? I doubt it. The Patriots have out game planned and out executed their opponents, with the emphasis on EXECUTED. When division rivals meet, each team pretty much knows what's coming 80% of the time. It's about execution. The Pats are very good at it and that's why they are who they are."
