You really zinged me there, Voxie. Tough talk from the original internet tough guy.
Go shave your neckbeard and say hi to your mom for me. Since you’re in her basement, she’s just upstairs. If she’s not there, she must be on her way over to my place.

He’s not making squat the first year (so the Eagles got him cheap) and the second year isn’t garanteed. So not “kicking the tires” vs. “kicking the tires” isn’t even a story. It was a good signing no matter how you look at it.

Joe Mays can hit you so hard that he can actually alter your DNA. Decades from now your descendants will occasionally clutch their heads and yell “What The Hell was That?”

He wanted to ensure secrecy because they wanted to beat the Ravens and the Bengals to it.

Two things:
1) Maybe they floated the idea of waiting until after the interview with the agent, and because Vick’s camp didn’t want to take the chance the Eagles would renig the deal if the interview was not widely accepted they stated they would take lesser money from Cinnci or another team.
2) Maybe the Eagles were aware of the interview and what was said and knew that it would be well received and wanted to beat the interview’s airing so they would receive the goodwill of appearing to do something good before the public believes so.

Congrads to Vick, I am extremely happy for him.. Whoever thinks Vick should never play again should go kill themselves… I love dogs, but people have to know when to draw the line. Besides, its not like he killed your dogs…

Who gives a damn about dogs that are breeded to be rough? Who gives a damn about animals period? Lets move on folks.
Who gives a shit about you and your family and kids? How would you like somebody abusing you and your family?
Your kids never had a domestic pet? Or lovedd ones?
Maybe will you get a taste of your own medicine.
Stop blaming PETA, most football fans are not PETA members, I am not a member of the group.
The people that are angry are average Americans. Douchebag.
What a sick human being, no wonder this country is dying.
If you lived in neighborhood I would move. You are vermin.

“Isnt their more productive things PETA could be doing besides protesting anyway??”
I think they’ve run out of dogs to kidnap and kill on thier own this year, so no, they don’t have anything more productive to do.

While I will never watch the Eagles play again, I do hope to see Vick permanently crippled by some dog-owning lineman on YouTube.
Hell, if I had the same kind of cash as the douchebag who signed him, I’d offer $1 million to any player who takes him out permanently. Maybe PETA should take that angle!

This is despicable. If I were an Eagle fan, I’d be outraged. Clearly, the agenda was to get Vick employed, via St. Dungy, which took precedence over what might or might not eventually be good for the team.

Or maybe they avoided a workout because they bought into the rumors of other teams seriously considering Vick. Why kick the tires and take the initial heat when someone else can swoop in and get a signed contract?

PETA got pissed off because Obama swatted a fly on a TV interview. Those people have admirable goals, but they are insane and have little credibility.
Although tonight the head of the Humane Society will be standing behind Vick. Doesn’t excuse his actions, but speaks a lot to his commitment not to repeat it. Not that this means anything to the self-righteous Eagles haters out there.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but none of the money is guaranteed, right? Not much of a financial risk at all.
I don’t think they care about the philly fan base who will criticize anything and everything. McNabb can throw for 400 yards, but you’ll still have knuckleheads who focus on the one or two passes he short-hopped to a receiver.

Although Vick may still be able to “bring it”, can he really make that much of an impact on a team with a established starter to justify the criticism?

great move for the following 2 reasons:
#1. F*@K PETA.
#2. Since when do Philly fans approve of anything

Oh that’s nice, so people who object to a sadistic animal-torturing sociopath joining their team are just “naysayers.”
I guess they should open their hearts and see things from the sadistic animal-torturing sociopath’s point of view, and maybe they’ll realize he’s actually a really great guy.
Because everything is equal to everything else, all the time. Some people get speeding tickets; other people torture animals & run multi-state gambling operations. It’s all good.
Michael Vick will bring us all together. That was Father Dungy’s plan all along. Amen.

“Plenty of eyebrows raised today when Tony Dungy told Dan Patrick that the Eagles signed quarterback Donovan McNabb “sight unseen.”
Patrick went on to slap his forhead after realizing that McNabb has been an Eagle for the last decade…
