The NFL needs little help converting the public at large, not when the sport that brought us the Icky Shuffle, Zeke Mowatt’s penis and Brian Bosworth’s acting career, long ago displaced baseball as America’s real national pastime. But if you’re in the minority of the populace, those that really don’t give a shit about pro football, you might wanna check out an Atlanta Falcons game if only to have your mind blown by Michael Vick.
A mere box score cannot do justice to the havoc this man creates, as the position of QB is being redefined by a player with death-defying improvisational skills. I wouldn’t say, however, that Michael Vick is impossible to defend against. As soon as the opposing defense is allowed to field 15 players instead of 11, then we’ll see something approaching fairness.
Vick is preternatural. One day he will revolutionize the hail mary, when instead of throwing it deep into sextuplet coverage, he will just run like hell, like he did a couple of seasons ago in an overtime game against the Vikings.
