If I'm Ralph Wilson or Mike Brown, I'm on the phone w/the commish about Vick's claim that the league steered him to Philly. And I'm ticked.

Brown deserves not getting Vick after how stubborn he's been in not trading Palmer. He could've swallowed his pride and at the same time helped his team get one or two draft picks in a trade, but nooo...so Palmer retired. Now, he's stuck with whomever is left on their roster and the Bengals will continue to suck...karma! Of course, there's the off chance that Dalton gets good really fast or Gradkowski fills in nicely in the meantime.

As for the Bills, they should call the commish and make a complaint. I didn't know the NFL hired a commissioner who also has roles of a scout and agent.

This!

Browns are not the bengals lol

I see the arguments on both sides, but I dunno.. It's not such a big deal lending someone a piece of advice.

I could understand why Bills fans would be upset though. Vick probably would've made them a playoff team.

Imagine if it were Jim Harbaugh that gave Vick the advice.

Vick: "The commissioner never told me to sign or not sign with particular teams. I want to make it clear this is a decision I made.

We'd probably have won just enough games for Sing to keep his job

I was screaming for the niners to get Vick but no everybody was worried a couple of stinky dogs. Look at him now and look at the situation we are in.

Who's talking about the Browns? lol... I think the Bengals having an owner named Mike Brown is confusing you.

There is no guarantee Vick would be playing at the same level he did last year had he signed with us.

Well then why did he say the opposite in the magazine interview and then go on to thank goodell for it?

I thank myself for good decisions that I make on my own. Is Goodell the new Based God or something where you just thank him for random ish?

tampering charges against the league should be filed by the fans, the result should be lower ticket prices for the next 5 years.

His words could have been taken out of context in the interview....

Or he could be a football player and not a public speaker and just worded it the wrong way.

I fail to see why this a big deal, in the end the decision was all Vick's

Sure.

Him and his PR team probably got lit up by Goodell right after the article was published and went mainstream.
