To Love Michael Vick or not?


Michael Vick is everyone’s 3rd grade crush. And this is a lily that continues to grow pedals; I love him, I love him not, I love him, I love him, I love him not.

At Virginia Tech people couldn’t wrap their mind around a dual-threat quarterback. He was criticized and critiqued and then he won. Vick went on to play just 2 years with the Hokies and he is now considered one of the most dynamic players to play college football.

I love you not, I love you.

The San Diego traded away the #1 overall pick to the Falcons, who took Vick. (Fun fact; Vick was also drafted by the Colorado Rockies.) He then blossomed in Atlanta, and led his team deep into the playoffs in his second year in the league. And then the craziest and most demoralizing of stories are the ones involving Vick and dog fighting. 

I love you not, I love you, I love you not.

Vick returned, against all odds and versus everyone, including the 11 men on the other side of the ball and played well. He changed people’s minds, by inflicting change within himself.  

And now his star is shining brighter than ever, in a city that doesn’t settle. Will Vick be successful?

I love you, I love you not?
