VICK TO EAGLES!!!!!

I could of beat you if i didnt have to type 75 words!!!!! It should be exciting to play against him in December.

Hell, maybe he’ll even take on some return duties this year. He’s a versatile guy to say the least. I hope he does well.

One, Kolb’s banged up a bit for the Eagles and Feely’s been looking horrible in camp.

However, if you’re a fan of the wildcat, just plain speed and/or match-up problems, you’ve got DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, LeSean McCoy, Brian Westbrook, Mike Vick, and Donovan McNabb on the field together at the same time…woah. He doesn’t even have to be QB for that group of guys to excel.

When Vick came into the league he was compared to McNabb, they have similar skill sets and McNabb could probably help Vick become a much better player. Remember Vick needs to restore his credibility as an NFL player, not be a star yet.

Ha ha – our backup is worth twice as much as theirs.

Dallas.

agrees with you. I wonder how dog loving Eagles fans feel.

Totally agree.

A lot of my respect for AR-gone! HUH…McNabb ‘rallied’ for Vick? Blek! Nuff said!

One thing I thought for sure was, is that PETA would be up in arms about this. I haven’t heard a peep out them, has anyone else?

While the “carrot” keeps people motivated, it’s the “rod” that produces a change in behavior.
I no longer have a desire to touch electric outlets or see if the stove is hot, why? Because I figured out at an early age that both bring about pain. I do not like pain, so my behavior changed. The same philosophy applies when my girlfriend asks me which dress looks better. I have learned from previous punishment to avoid this situation altogether.
Hopefully, Vick is smarter than I give him credit for and realizes that his actions brought about his punishment and pain. If so, I believe he can move on from his mistakes. That does not make him a great QB (I never really liked the guy), but he has fulfilled his duties to the court and if the Eagles want to give him a chance, I believe he is entitled to it.

No one has any right to judge him. He’s paid his debt and he deserves a chance. Obviously he legitimately means that he’s sorry. Today Commish laid down a full year suspension for Stallworth. It’s clear that Roger Goodell doesn’t play around with people that do stupid things. Before this incident, Michael Vick had zero incidents. This happened and I don’t agree with what he did at all, but obviously he means it when he says he’s changed. I think a guy like Goodell would see right through him if he were lying. I really hate PETA activists for a lot of reasons, but them wanting VIck banished from the land is a pure disgrace. What he did was illegal, but he paid his debt and didn’t buy his way out of it like Stallworth did. So, where does he go from here? The man paid his debt, and he deserves to live and have the freedoms that we all do. Period.

Who the F are you guys to judge someone?

Who am I? I’m someone who believes in the transparence of right and wrong and of good and evil. In my opinion, the attitude and philosophy that your question represents is antisocial. And before you go there, please spare me the moral relativism or contextualism. I’ve been there and done that.

I can’t decide what I find more revolting: Michael Vick’s actions or some people’s willingness to tolerate them.

I tolerate a wide range of behaviors and typically don’t judge people. But I can’t understand how anyone would be willing to forgive such cruelty. I’m not a bleeding heart, a tree hugger or PETA supporter. But I am anti-cruelty. And Vick’s behavior was beyond despicable. It was pure, deliberate evil.

And I believe that once someone deliberates on evil that extensively, rehabilitation is in doubt. Certainly not within 23 months.

As for giving him a second chance, I’m all for it. Give him the same second chance that all felons get: Flipping burgers. There are a wide range of professions that exclude felons. My understanding is that Bernie Madoff will never hold another securities license. Why? He’s a felon.

Of course, with unemployment nearing 10% and many law-abiding, non-dog fighting citizens out of work, I’m open to him going without a job too.
