Michael Irvin got caught with cocaine and he's in the hall of fame.

nate newton gets caught with pounds twice and finished his career.

now michael vick is caught up with dog fighting and his football life is over.


this just does not add up


SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Drugs are not a violent crime and only have the potential to hurt yourself... In Vick's case he is hurting animals and I would consider that a violent crime.

My uncle wanted me to ask this question too. Yea no one seems to care about Irvin but are quick to jump on Bonds and Vick.

if your question is about vick and the hall of fame the answer is not a chance in hell.. not a good enough career which may be over anyway... shoe contracts dont make you a hall of famer.

I don't know how they make their decisions on Hall of Fame, but I do know you cannot even compare Irvin and Vick as players.
Irvin was one of the best at his position, he really helped his team to win.
Vick is nothing as a player (running around out of control is not quarterbacking) and he actually never helped his team to win.

As for Nate Newton, I have no idea what happened to him.

Well, cocaine didn't exactly aid Irvin's performance in any way, nor did it put the lives of others or of animals in danger. Possession is not as big of a crime as Animal cruelty combined with all the "conspiracy to operate"s and "conspiracy to commit" crimes stacked together.

Plus, nobody likes Mike :( He flicks off his fans, insults his owner, etc.

Also, think back to when the Irvin controversy was fresh, nobody thought too highly of him back then but it all blew over because he had an amazing career. Sure, Vick is one hell of an athlete, but he'll never have a hall of fame career.

Dude do you realize what L.T. did and he was in the Hall BEFORE Irvin. Now I don't think Irvin belongs in, but if you want to base it JUST on being on drugs then yeah L.T. needs to be removed by your logic.
