Some idiots actually think the NFL is wrong for giving Vick a 2nd chance.

The NFL is justified in letting him play.
Having said all that, I don't want him on my team.

Having never spent a dime on the NFL (except indirectly through payments to cable companies), I'm hardly in a position to boycott. If I was an Iggles ticket holder, I'd probably have put the tix up for sale immediately (even knowing I might not recoup what I'd paid).

Some Eagles fans dumped their tickets. "If the Eagles are going to sell out, then so am I," read a sales listing on Craigslist.

But far more people begged for tickets. "If you're disappointed in the Eagles for picking up Michael Vick, I will gladly take your tickets off of your hands," one wrote.

Baldwin wrote a thoughtful and insightful column. He's pretty talented IMO

Vick deserves another chance. One chance. Just like all of us who eat meat, drink milk, attend rodeos, circuses, zoos and horse races and yet find it easier to hand Vick the bill for all of the other, more systemic abuses in our society may find ourselves needing another chance one day. Just like Michael Vick.

Andy Reid's been screwing around with unconventional play formations. Vick would be just the ideal guy to put in for some ole fashioned fooball . (Im talkin about leather helmet days).


I love dogs too, and I was hard on Vick when he was caught. Since then hes been a model prisoner and has shown remorse and an explanation about how he actually got into this. His livelihood is what we are talking about, were not keeping him from some hobby.

I believe him. Lets move on.


BTW, Donovan was behind the entire strategy to sign Vick up.

3. Vick was welcomed warmly in Philly. Vick received a standing ovation from the Lincoln Field crowd when he came in on the second play of the Eagles' first offensive series. The cheering continued throughout the night.

"I can't explain the feeling," Vick said. "It was unbelievable the way I was embraced and the warm welcome I received. It actually made me screw up one of my reads. I wanted to please the crowd and I actually made a bad play. I came back from it, but it was awesome."

Only a handful of protestors made the trip to stadium. That might change when Vick plays in a regular-season game, but the animal-rights activists weren't going to trek to South Philly in rush-hour traffic for a preseason game. The NAACP showed up to support Vick and was mobbed by the media, but the group's appearance made little real impact

Knowing Philadelphia fans, they'll support Vick as long as the team is winning. If they lose, and Vick is part of the reason, they'll start bombarding local radio station 610 WIP to ask why they bothered bringing in a player with so many issues.

Vick finished 20 for 28 with 333 yards, four touchdown passes and a 150.7 passer rating. He also rushed for 80 yards (a 10-yard average) and two touchdowns. Despite missing three games because of an injury, Vick continued to make a strong case for himself as the NFL's most valuable player. The Eagles (6-3) continued to benefit from Vick's impressive comeback, moving into a first-place tie atop the NFC East with the New York Giants.

Peta members spend money on NFL, in which case they can be ignored so long as the real fans don't buy the Peta argument.
