Re: The NFL Thread- Super Bowl XLVII( Feb 3rd)
I have zero interest in the SB this year, actually. I've picked against the Ravens all three games this postseason and I've been wrong every game, so I don't know. I feel that if I pick the 49ers, the Ravens will win, and I definitely don't want that, but on the other hand, I don't want Colin Kaepernick to win a SB because then we'll never hear the end of how he's the next superstar.
This game's a complete tossup for me. I see it as a FG game, but interestingly, I don't think it'll be low scoring. I'm thinking like 30-27 one way or the other. I'll pick the Ravens, I guess, as this just seems to be their year.

He was a truly despicable human being, but he's paid for his offenses by serving time in prison thanks to the justice system. It's quite evident he's a changed man now who has acknowledged his past mistakes and has done tremendous things to atone for his sins. How can you really still hold a grudge against the man....? Sometimes you just have to let stuff go. He made a mistake. He's human. Let's move on.
See, I'm not such a huge believer in massive second chances like that. I still have no respect for Michael Vick and he shouldn't be in the NFL, but that's not up to me. Just because you've served time in prison doesn't make you a better man. Vick's done things to improve his public image, and I'm sure that he regrets his involvement in dog fighting, but not because of the dog fighting, but because he got caught. Still, doing things to improve his public image doesn't make up for the fact that he was involved in the dog fighting in the first place.
I'll always despise Michael Vick and that's how I see it.
