Eagles coach Andy Reid has got three sons. Two of them you could say have been trouble. Both have spent time in the slammer. One of them, a drug dealer, slammed his car into another back in 2007 while he was enjoying a little heroin. The other one pointed a handgun at a fellow driver when the two squared off over something.
Having these guys in his life, Reid apparently has first-hand knowledge of how people can turn their lives around and this supposedly helped him to push for the signing of Michael Vick(notes), according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I'm a believer that as long as people go through the right process, they deserve a second chance," Reid told the paper. "Michael has done that."
Sorry, Andy, but that's not going to stop the good folks of Philadelphia from laying a bunch of boos on your doorstep. And you can be sure Donovan McNabb(notes) didn't jump for joy when he heard the news, either.

then they'd realize what everyone else knows. Vick never killed the dogs. He only pleaded guilty
for a lesser sentence after the others took a plea deal because they were the ones who killed the dogs.
It's great to see him back in the league , I just wished he would have landed here in Carolina.

Michael Vick is a horrible QB, always has and always will be. He's a great scrambler and athelete but not a QB. AJ feely is a more competent back up.
Also Michael Vick did kill the dogs and ordered killings of the dogs. Testimony states he was the most brutal to the dogs. Look on the bright side. Michael Vick is gona be suspended PROBABLY the first 6 weeks. He's not in football shape. Even if McNabb did go down for what ever reason Vick is the 4th string QB probably. I don't expect him to play any QBing....even if its a blow out.

Vick is a big gamble, way bigger than the gamble the Flyers are taking with Emery.

" What its a tie ???" and look whos ready to take his place and who by the way do you think runs faster ? McChoke or Vick ? Can you say Randall Cunningham ? Just give this a few medicore McChoke games and wait til you see Philly fans sharpenng their knives especially if Vic makes a few good plays and Fatso says they didnt get Vick to sit him down. McChoke just got a contract extension and boohooed about that. McChoke wanted all the weapons ? Now he got the secret weapon. Lets see how long he lasts. If Vick shines McChoke will be gone. And that is long overdue.

The humane society kills hundreds of dogs daily and by law it's ok (I own 2 by the way), slaughter houses crack cows in the head to give us beef and it's ok (yet in some places they are worshipped as gods), we eat meat on the regular (in some countries dogs are a main course) yet this man lost over 100 million dollars from killing HIS dogs and they could'nt understand why he smoked weed at his trail. You would too after losing 100 mil LOL!
The media goes too far, people are way too childish, the laws are tweaked on the wrong side a little, and this countries negative reaction shows / proves a ton. I pray his actions of the field speak louder than the oppositions words. Every team that didn't consider Vick should be sued for discrimination. The commish is the Boss of the company and the teams are departments. The GM's are the managers and the Boss didn't fire him, only suspended him. He should have been taken back by the majority. Past experience and the man steps out of prison runnin a 4.4 40. I'm done!!!
