Michael Vick Was Less Than Thrilled With The Officiating For Today’s Giants-Eagles Game


You wouldn’t expect Michael Vick to be happy. His Eagles lost to the Giants 29-16, and he had to leave his second straight game with an injury – this time a broken hand. And in the aftermath of today’s game, frustration got the better of Vick in a way we don’t remember seeing since his comeback began. Vick complained of unfair treatment from officials – specifically, that hits that against other quarterbacks would earn “15-yard flags” are fair game when they’re leaving him on the ground:

Vick’s already hearing some criticism for this (check out the title of the above video, for one example). And it’s not without reason – the strategy of following up a complaint by saying you’re not complaining is all but guaranteed to result in derision. Of course, Vick does take a lot of hits – then again, much of that is a byproduct of his playing style. But it’s not hard to see why Vick would be unable to hold back: after a fairy tale run through so much of last season, 2011 is thus far being far less kind to him. And given Vick’s past, there will be no shortage of people to revel in that.

    Stop bitching man, it’s freekin football!!! You will get hurt, you will land on the floor, over, over, and over again. You knew you were’nt 100%, you should have sit it out, take the loss, b/c your back-up sucks, and you would be better. Now grow a pair and shut-up!!!

    I just got a $827.89 Samasung Galaxy Tab for only $103.37 and my mom got a $1499.99 HTV for only $251.92, they are both coming tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prîces at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for.

    You all are stupid!!! check the highlights, view some replays, this dude is always getting taking down to the ground well after the pass and there is never a flag…  Eli would be sitting the sidelines just like his brother Peyton if he suffered half as many hits as this guy. “It’s Freekin football” true enough, but with the new rules in place the quarterbacks are not suppose to be getting bang up as much… so why the hell is this happening to this dude?

    P.S.
    I’m not even an Eagles Fan!!!
