49ers WR Josh Morgan Speaks- And he needs to grow a pair

Today, NFL players were falling all over themselves talking about how Michael Vick should be reinstated by the NFL Commisioner and be allowed to play again for a team in the league. A couple of the statements by the players were well put, like Toronto Bills Safety George Wilson who said:

"He's going back working a construction job getting paid $10 an hour, so that's considerably less than what he was making on the football field, So I think just by showing he can work from the bottom up and show his commitment off the field and showing how much he's grown from this situation that he's more than deserving of a second opportunity."

Alright, nice statement, mentions his commitment off the field and whether or not it will show that he's grown as a person.

Texans QB Matt Schaub, who played second string to Vick said:"At some point — there's this year and next year — I think he'll get an opportunity to play again. I wish him well. I'd like to see him come back and be successful. I think he can (regain his old form). He loves the game and I know he loved playing. He had all that taken away. He's got to be eager to get back out and show people not only that he can still play, but that he's a changed man and a changed person."

Again, mentions that he has to show that he's a changed man and a changed person. Nice statement.

Vikings All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson, who's own father never saw him play a live college football game until he was released from a Texas prison had this to say: "I really think everyone deserves a second chance. I think he has paid his debt to society. Hopefully someone will reach out and give him another opportunity."

Coming from AP, that statement sounded just right.

But this one is downright immasculating. 49ers Wideout and former college teammate of Vick's, Josh Morgan had this to say:

"Me and some of my teammates from Virginia Tech, we were talking about if we ever saw Vick back on the field, we might start crying," Morgan said. "Just thinking about him and his family and his mom and everything they've been through, that might bring me to tears. It would just be special, and we can't wait for him."I know he was just driving across the country, like 18 hours, and now he's at home in Hampton, and I bet he's telling people, 'This is how it's going to be. This is how I'm going to live my life in a different way.' He's going to be an elite player right away. I can't wait to see it, man."

Josh, you're better than that.

Of course, no story about sports and crying would ever be complete without the greatest retirement speech of all time...Mike Schmidt.
