One of the most vocal critics of the league governance at the 2012 constitutional convention, 10 Things was notoriously absent at a critical time for the league, poolside at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Serious hangovers made it next to impossible to discuss serious league issues, but a serious amount of commissioner bashing took place, which is always a critical time for 10 Things to participate in.
10 Things looked like he had won the animal abuse quarterback lottery in 2010 when Vick went off and looked like the single greatest fantasy player of all-time. Now in 2012, coming off an injury plagued 2011 campaign, 10 Things looked poised to go another run in 2012. Inconsistency has resulted in a 1-1 and soon to be 1-2 start and it is yet to be determined which version of Vick is going to predominate in 2012.
Most disconcerting is the similarities between 10 Things and his starting QB.
Both take regular beatings from the opposition. Vick from opposing defenses, 10 Things from opposing bags of oranges.
Both harbor hatred and ill-will for the commissioner, although Vick is much less vocal about it.
Both have been referred to as a "joke" or a "Joker" by league commentators.
Neither one plays defense, period.
Barring a Sidney Rice 50 point miracle, both got blown out in Week 3.
10 Things may be off to a rough start, but much of that can be attributed to bad luck and injury (and a serious lack of depth, BRO). There is much chatter about whether 10 Things is a real contender in 2012 and the prevailing opinion at this early juncture is, "hell no." But 10 Things has an unfavorable week 4 matchup against an underperforming No Feelings who is due for some good luck with Rodgers playing a soft New Orleans defense.
The only hope is if Vick 10 Things can avoid the sack of oranges in week 4 or at least absorb the shock with his form fitting Kevlar vest.
