Michael Vick

This weekend I was watching some old footage of Michael Vick. These videos were of him back when he was with the Atlanta Falcons. As I was watching, I realized how good of a player he realy was. I also realized that he, just like Oedipus, cause his own down fall. In Oedipus' case, he was on his way to Thebes and along the way he ran into the king of Thebes and his caravan. The leaders of the caravan pushed Oedipus off of the road. This made Oedipus very angry revealing his tragic flaw. He proceded to kill all but one in the party in cluding the king. Although Vick did not kill anyone, he did support a dog fighting business that was housed in a house that he paid for. He was sent to about two years in prison and was not allowed to play in the NFL until this year. While in prison, Vick lost just about all of the speed and agility that he sepnjt so much time working on to be one of the most dominant players in the NFL. He now is a backup quarterback and does not pose the same threat that he once did.
