Vick: 'I gotta get my swag back'

Found November 01, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Michael Vick
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is sitting at the poker table, and he’s all in at this point. If Vick plays a bad hand and plays poorly, then he loses all his chips and has to start over. If Vick has a good hand and plays well, then he has about $16.5 millions to be ecstatic and start playing another round. This is the dilemma Vick is facing as the quarterback for the 3-4 Eagles. Win out and cash big checks next season. Fail and it’s a new address with less money and perks. Vick is aware of all this and knows he must regain his “Swag.” “When I watched the tape from Sunday, I just thought I didn’t play aggressive enough,” Vick told Philly.com.  “There’s a lot to learn from on that film. Probably moreso than any other loss we’ve had all season. I’m very comfortable with this offense. “I’m only human, just like everybody else. I think I was just trying to cater to certain things, trying to be what everybody wanted me to be … I gotta get my ‘swag’ back, get back to playing football the way I love to play it.” The cards have been dealt Michael, how you gonna play ‘em? The post Michael Vick: I Gotta Get My Swag Back appeared first on FootBasket.

Vick, Romo, Sanchez a trio bland

There was a time not too long ago when having Mike Vick, Tony Romo or Mark Sanchez as your quarterback was considered living well in the NFL. Now it is like the sports version of marry, boff, kill. If you had to choose one to build your franchise around, one to win a single game and death is not an option (neither is abstaining) whom do you go with? Be careful with quick answers...
