I never said that i was taking up for the Falcon players. But to be honest, I'm sure that Vick was good friends with his teammates. If one of your best friends got busted for a crime such as his....wouldn't you react somewhat the same(i.e. Free Vick)

And I'm not saying he doesn't care about his players at Arky, I was just stating that the letter situation doesn't help your argument what so ever.

Actually, my friends hold me accountable for my shortcomings. If I did something criminal like Vick, I am not sure we would still be friends. Same for them if the roles were reversed.

The good thing about my friends, they don't pull shite like that. They aren't felons.

I do not like the way Petrino handled the situation, he would probably do something different if he could. But I've been hot-boxed before and had to make decisions (professionally) that upon reflection later, I would do differently. That is why I don't worry about Petrino's note to the players.

It is funny, so many say BP should have been more loyal but that situation is representative of today's job market. Why would anyone owe loyalty to a company (in this case the Falcons) when you know they have a history of canning employees when it suits them (Reeves is a good example here). That thought process is incredibly naive and actually hypocritical. Specially when sports reporters/commentators start chiming in.
