Michael Vick Isn’t Bothered At All About Bounties
BREAKING NEWS, Eagles, News, Quarterbacks Wednesday, March 7th, 2012
Eagles quarterback Michael Vick didn’t seem to be bothered by the bounty system which the New Orleans Saints were involved in during the last three years. If anything Vick seemed to telling the NFL that he doesn’t want them to stop it.
“It’s a part of the game now”, Vick told 3News in Virginia. “To sit here and try to make light of the situation whether it was right or wrong, I won’t try to justify that. I just think, what a team does is there own personal business, that goes on in-house. I don’t think it’s anything personal towards certain players”.
“It’s a compliment if anything, they don’t want you out there, you’re too good, if you stay out there they’re going to beat you. And I think for the most part it never really happens. You put a bounty on a player, you may hit him once or twice, he’ll bounce back up and nine times out of ten he’ll finish the game. Because the things that I seen that happened to Brett Favre, if (Brett) Favre was able to get up, he’ll finish the game and I think for the most part he did. So, I won’t touch on it, but, don’t take the fun out of the game”.
“I’ve been told plenty of times that there’s been bounties out on me. I won’t say what teams because it’s not important and there will be probably 13 bounties out on me out of the 16 games that we play this year, so, it’s all fun. It’s all a part of the game and I just have to dodge those guys and make them play harder”.

@greenfan, are you directing that comment to me. If so make no mistake about it, I have no insecure moments on a blog with people I don’t even know, now you may have had those types of experiences, but I don’t have them.
True GF – something about paying him (and I think Landri) the Vet minimum last year – can’t do anything until FA starts – does anyone know if they are allowed to negotiate with him? Is it tampering if someone else chats with him? but get it on the list of got to get done things to do -
@navy…I do not believe that can “officially” negotiate with him…I saw where he said that he would like to stay, and when asked about a “hometown discount” said he would stay for “$20 and a pizza”, but also know that this is probably his last chance at a decent payday, so he can’t turn away a huge offer if it comes his way.
OK peace, if that is what you believe.
Yeah, Navy, they are officially not allowed to negotiate with regular free agents. That’s why guys like Tulloch, guys like Reggie Wayne, Vincent Jackson, etc… haven’t done any ‘visits’ yet – they’re regular free agents. Same with Burress. Peyton and Randy Moss are different because they played 0 snaps last year.
peace, go read your comments above at March 7-11:23am. Did you, or did you not say “This time last year was how great everyone was saying Kolb was & how everyone wanted to keep him & trade Vick”, or was I having a hallucination & don’t know what I’m reading? I wasn’t refering to you about the race thing, the culprits know who they are. BTW, you have all the rights in the world, to your opinion about Vicks greatness, but stats, success & the majority of the football world disagrees.
DCar, didn’t realize you had directed a comment to me, but I thought I would answer. Yes in the comment I made to Marcus, I did use the word “great” in referring to Kolb, however in that comment I was really being sarcastic. In the comments I made with the other poster you will I didn’t use the term, wasn’t being sarcastic. I did however say in both comments that people were wanting Kolb to start over Vick, which is true. Sorry if I didn’t make myself clear. And thank you so much for letting me know that I have rights to my opinion, majority doesn’t mean all, so I guess I am just part of the minority, which is fine with me. Thanks again.
It’s all good my man. Water under the bridge, or over the dam, whatever the heck that saying is.
