Michael Vick of the Atlanta Falcons flips the Crowd the “Dirty Bird”

Vick Flips the Atlanta crowd the Dirty Bird

Way to make friends and influence people in Atlanta, GA. Doesn’t Vick realize that the NFL stands for the “No Finger League”?

(Hat Tip: Drudge Report)

Nice … Vick didn’t just flip the crowd one finger, he showed he was ambidextrous and gave the crowd the dirty bird with both hands. With the performance that the Falcons put on in the Georgia Dome Sunday, losing for the fourth time in a row he is lucky the fans did not ride the entire team out of town on a rail. What do we really expect anymore from professional athletes in this day and age? At least he Vick did not pull a Ricky Manning Jr.

The Falcons lost 31–13 to the Saints while Vick did run for 166 yards, he passed for 9 of 24 for 84 yards. OUCH!!! Think that type of team effort is going to garner anything but boos and choice comments from a paying crowd? Funny how these over-paid athletes do not shy away from the cameras or crowd adulation when they are cheered. They also do not donate parts of their paychecks to charity when they stink up the field.

Of course Vick was quick to apologize as I am sure the Falcon PR department  sat him down immediately.

UPDATE: Michael Vick fined $10,000 for obscene gesture
