A good read, the always great Ed Bouchette of the Post-Gazette says that the talk about Mike Vick at this point is just too much:
Not only has that been reported by normally sane writers and broadcasters, but I saw one oddsmaker put the Steelers and New England Patriots as 4-1 favorites to sign the 29-year-old quarterback who has not played since 2006. I put the odds higher for the Steelers signing me to run the wildcat offense than them signing Michael Vick. The Steelers would have more interest in Brett Favre than Vick. Right now, I’d re-sign Kordell Stewart before I’d ever put in a call to Vick’s people if I needed a quarterback.
Dan Rooney may reside in Ireland, but he has not lost his mind, nor has his son, Steelers president Art Rooney.
The civil lawsuit against Ben Roethlisberger in Nevada would pale as a distraction to signing Vick for the reigning Super Bowl champions.

I have been a die-hard steelers fan since I can remember. I’m raising a family of four other steelers fans. I buy tons of steelers swag. I will revolt and bolt if they sign vick. Why? Because my kids know what he did, and there is no way I’m cheering this guy on. What kind of lesson is that? He paid his debt, I get it. However, I have a dog and he’s part of our family. Anyone who is cruel enough to get pleasure beating and fighting those beautiful and loyal animals is not someone I’ll support on any level. It will be a sad day in my house if they sign him. I’ll mail all my jerseys, stickers and liscense plate to tomlin. Guess I’ll have to start rooting for titans.

Go ahead and bolt. Michael Vick has done his time (more than if it were Tom Brady or Peyton Manning). Steelers has millions of fans, we won’t miss the 5 of you.

Trust me, it’ll be a lot more than 5. Why would the Steelers want to bring someone on who they’d fire immediately for doing what he did? Doesn’t make sense and doesn’t fit with the Rooney’s character.
