With Michael Vick about to become the Michael Jordan of football, he'll be right up their with with Tiger Woods as the most famous American sports star. So I was thinking about the team that let him get away, San Diego traded the right to draft him to Atlanta.
Sports history is filled with one sided trades, especially when there is a player who becomes a monster superstar player.
I think the Vick trade might turn out to the be greatest trade in sports history, greatest in that BOTH teams involved were made by the trade in question. San Diego got their young starting QB Drew Brees AND LaDanian Tomlinson AND Tim Dwight for Vick. Brees is going to be a fine starting QB for 10-15 years, Tomlinson is putting up amazing numbers, a dominant player, Emmit Smith with they say more explosive speed . Dwight is a solid wideout.
So i think this might be the greatest trade in NFL history some day if not now.
