Michael Vick's Highlight

A career that should be remembered forever.

Michael Vick's Highlight
John Geliebter

There are a lot of careers that will last in history forever. The most significant ones are people like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Jerry Rice. There are a lot more than the ones I just named, but there are some people that are underrated for their accomplishments. One of those people, and one of my favorite football players of all time, is Michael Vick.

Michael Vick's career was something very special for people to enjoy. No matter if he was injured or a second string quarterback for half of the football season, his ways of putting on a performance every Sunday on national TV was always spectacular in some way. The fans enjoyed his spirit and true meaning of playing football. Playing with the Atlanta Falcons for Vick was a very insightful opportunity. Fans from all over adored him and wanted Vick to succeed in any kind of way. It didn't matter if it was him on the Madden Cover for the video game, or going to the Super Bowl.

One thing in Michael Vick's career that people will never forget was his prison sentence for the "Bad Newz Kennels" dog investigation. America around the world was trying to understand the problems Michael Vick was facing because of the felony charges. Some people looked at him as an icon still, and some people had their bad opinions about him. Nevertheless, after Vick's release from prison, he went on to proceed with his football career with the Philadelphia Eagles. During that time, he was named the "NFL Comeback Player of the Year" in 2010, leading the Eagles to the playoffs as the NFC East champions. His success as an Eagle was something to go down in the books for the quarterback and Philadelphia Eagles history.

Things will never be the same for Vick as he is a 36 year old veteran and a free agent in 2016. His success as an individual is still proceeding on the right path. Vick's career is still not over, but is falling short at the same time. That reminds me of a quote by Michael Vick that sums up his success. The quote is "Why I pray so hard? Because just when I thought I had everything I lost it all....." That is something Michael Vick has put into his life forever as a football player and individual.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
