Vick's getting a second chance. A chance to let his past behind him. A chance that more ex-convicts should get, but aren't getting.

Most ex-convicts don't have legal talents that can make them millions when they're released from prison, poverty breeds desperation breeds crime. If Vick were the same man minus football skills and had been working at a fast food joint, is there doubt in your mind that he'd be working just as hard to focus on and excel at his job?

I don't mean this as a dig on Vick, I really don't. I'm just trying to illustrate that him having very attractive options the moment he steps out of prison may help him on the straight and narrow, and that other convicts don't have anywhere to turn to... So they turn back to crime.

I'm going to leave Illy for you perverts to fight over like a piece of meat. She's too young for me.

That's true. But that's not how it should be.

There are quite some starter jobs out there that one could take, but pretty often, having a criminal record holds them back. Something that shouldn't happen. And something that didn't happen with Vick.

Of course he's lucky that he's amazingly talented, but it's a nice example of what an ex-convict can do, when they do get a second chance.

Vicks contract value despite the hype will be tempered by the fact that all he has to do is breathe in the wrong direction and he will be suspended for life.

dfosterf (16m) : Can't find the toggle, lol
dfosterf (17m) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .
Zero2Cool (22m) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.
dfosterf (51m) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes
dfosterf (1h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same
dfosterf (1h) : *Friday*
dfosterf (1h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy
dfosterf (1h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)
dfosterf (1h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from
dfosterf (1h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy
Zero2Cool (1h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!
dfosterf (1h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40
dfosterf (1h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in
packerfanoutwest (1h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?
beast (1h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...
beast (1h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based
beast (1h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based
beast (1h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?
dfosterf (2h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol

dfosterf (2h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise
dfosterf (2h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...
beast (8h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...
dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
