Vick Soars With The Eagles!

Vick, once a number one draft pick in 2001 signed a 2 year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. For 1.6 million the first year with an option of it going to 5.2 the second, Vick will team up with Donovan McNabb who took the Eagles to the playoffs last year.

Although signed, Michael Vick still has a punishment to serve. He can participate in all preseason activities but good ole Goodell will not lift his suspension until October 18, 2009.

I look foward to getting that Eagles jersey. I'll wear it under my #81 Patriots jersey!

Goooooooooooooooo Vick!

Terrell Speaks Out!

Finally, someone in the NFL has the courage to tell the leaders-that-be how they feel about the way Michael Vick has been treated. That someone is, you guessed it... Terrell Owens.

“I think it’s unfortunate,” Owens said. “I think the way the commissioner has handled it, I think it’s unfair to Michael Vick. I think he’s done the time for what he’s done. I don’t think it’s really fair for him to be suspended four more games. That’s almost like kicking a dead horse in the ground. I think a lot of guys around the league need to speak up. I think the players union needs to step in because the guy’s already suffered so much. To add a four-game suspension on a two-year prison sentence, that’s ridiculous.”

DAMN RIGHT, TERRELL!

I've expressed issue with the fact that other players didn't stand up and speak out. I especially had issue with Vick's teammates who said absolutely nothing. You can say what you want about Terrell. You hate him because he doesn't allow the NFL to control him. He's not their puppet and they can't silence him. Keep speaking your mind T.O.!

Is There Redemption In The NFL?

After a 23 month sentence for federal dog fighting crimes, Vick's ridiculous punishment is over. Well almost over. He'll be on probation for the next 3 years. If you read my previous blog on Vick, then there's no reason to relive why I feel his punishment did not fit the crime.

I have a bone to pick, (not a dogs bone PETA.. don't come and hunt me down) with the people who want to stick him on a cross, douse him with gasoline, light the match and have a barbecue. If I hear one more person say, 'he needs to pay for his crime' I'M GOING TO SCREAM! Last time I checked, prison time meant you paid for your crime. Last time I checked, it was paying your debt to society. The man spent over a year in FEDERAL PRISON, what more do you want him to do? Donate a kidney to a local Humane Society? Or his big toe to PETA? I mean shut up already!

Vick should not have to kiss the tail of PETA, the Humane Society or of you dog obsessed peons. A lifetime ban from the NFL is excessive. Mr. Gooddell, you have kept less desirable people in your institution. Don't be such a hypocrite! If Michael Vick was in any other profession, would there be this much outrage? If this was Brett Favre... ahhhh I won't go there. Anyways. When Leonard Little of the St. Louis Rams killed a HUMAN while driving drunk, did you protest then? What about the multiple athletes convicted of rape, sex with minors and numerous other things way more heinous than dog fighting? Where was the outrage then? Oh..that's right. A dogs life is way more important and precious than a human. That explains why this country had animal right laws BEFORE child cruelty laws. GO FIGURE!

I look foward to seeing Vick back on the field. He was one of the best QB's in the NFL and you're really not playing at your peak if you can't compete with best. Go Vick Go!
