Where do you get this fairy tale that any of the free agents the Eagles signed took less money than they could have gotten somewhere else?

Jerry Jones and Rob Ryan&#039;s fist bump might have had something to do with that perception. Also, Ronnie Brown and Cullen Jenkins, Pro Bowlers. But, that&#039;s right, Nnamdi &quot;wanted to go to the Cowboys all along&quot; so the Eagles must have overpaid to get him.]]></description>

Was Ben arrested or convicted for rape?
The answer is no, how ever i realize we live in a media driven “your guilty” first society. Witch is quite sick and the problem with the media and people today.

Michael Vick was convicted for running an illegal gambling ring, not dogfighting.

Bet you&#039;re still crucifying him on behalf of the puppies though! Therefore pot... meet kettle.

		<description><![CDATA[I’m not sure why there would be extra conduct language. I don’t really know Vick’s history, but I’ve never heard one word about him getting into trouble outside of the dog fighting incident. Based on that knowledge, admittedly it’s more of a lack of knowledge, it doesn’t seem like he’s ever had a habit of conducting himself in a detrimental manner.

		<description><![CDATA[it&#039;s spelled profit jerko.
oh wiat,, were you trying to be funny??

&amp;
are there giants fans still trying to talk trash??
your players are bailing on your organization for rivals... shows how bad the taste of NY is.


and havent any of you fools payed attention to the contracts of present day players.. this contract is a $40 million dollar deal. thats it !! thats all thats guaranteed. . So if there is ANYTHING they dont like, performace or character, they can cut him and only have 40mil invested..
IF, a big IF Vic plays out the entire 100 million deal, everyone in philly will be smiling cause that means he did something right.  so if this is indeed a 100 million dollar deal, i figure we wont be hearing that Super Bowl-less banter anymore.. i hope he gets 6 years of dominance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The one stat that defined the change in Vick’s game last year was his completion percentage.

He displayed a level of accuracy that he simply never had before.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Shorter passes are higher percentage passes. Last year 230 of Vick&#039;s 372 pass attempts were to points 10 yards or fewer downfield. That&#039;s almost 62% of his attempts. In 2006, that number was 53% so he&#039;s throwing more short passes than before. For passes further than 10 yards downfield last season, Vick&#039;s completion percentage was 48.5%

Eli Manning&#039;s was 47.8%
Aaron Rodgers&#039; was 48.2%
Romo&#039;s was 52.6%. But it was a short season so if you&#039;d rather go by his 2009 number, it was 49.5%.

But you probably don&#039;t have the slightest idea what I&#039;m talking about, do you? 

By the way, you&#039;re kind of retarded... no, you are completely retarded for talking about Vick&#039;s increase in completion percentage like it&#039;s some sort of big accomplishment. For starters, Neither Manning nor Rodgers nor Romo ever had a season when they played an appreciable amount of time that saw their completion percentages as low as Vick&#039;s was in 2006 in the first place (52.4%) only Rodgers had a season that was as low as Vick&#039;s 46.2% in 2009. In fact Romo&#039;s completion percentage has never been lower than 61.3%, 

All three had higher completion percentages than Vick did last season.]]></description>

All these people still making “dog jokes” and “dog comments” about Michael Vick should all just go get a life. I’m not a Vick fan (mainly because he was once a Falcon and my Saints fandom will not permit me to like anyone who once wore enemy colors), but the whole dog references are way beyond stale. If you’re the special kind of stupid who thinks that Vick shouldn’t be playing in the NFL after what he did, consider this: former Rams DE Leonard Little killed a WOMAN after driving home drunk, and kept on playing. He killled a PERSON.

Let&#039;s not forget Donte Stallworth, and Ray Lewis too.  Plax carries guns and I&#039;m sure that&#039;s a large number of athletes, not just NFL, that would be guilty of infedility, drug use, and other various addictions.  But Vick killed dogs so he&#039;s the only one that gets to be hated on.  I wonder why, if this was so lucrative a business..the dog fighting that is, that no other NFL athletes were raised as contributors or conspiritors?  Do you really believe no one else from the NFL was ever involved in the least bit?  Vick was able to hide this from everyone?  Someone kept their mouth shut true enough.]]></description>

<p>Let&#8217;s not forget Donte Stallworth, and Ray Lewis too.  Plax carries guns and I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s a large number of athletes, not just NFL, that would be guilty of infedility, drug use, and other various addictions.  But Vick killed dogs so he&#8217;s the only one that gets to be hated on.  I wonder why, if this was so lucrative a business..the dog fighting that is, that no other NFL athletes were raised as contributors or conspiritors?  Do you really believe no one else from the NFL was ever involved in the least bit?  Vick was able to hide this from everyone?  Someone kept their mouth shut true enough.</p>

Mike Vick, the guy who shows up to be nothing but the best.
—————————————————————-
When was he EVER that? Isn’t this the guy who couldn’t be bothered to show up at all of the off-season workouts that HE scheduled?

***********************************************************

Uh NO !  . . .

Another idiotic comment !

The one stat that defined the change in Vick&#039;s game last year was his completion percentage.

 He displayed a level of accuracy that he simply never had before.
 
His previous season high as far as completion percentage was 56.4%, while last year it was 62.6%.

 That is the sixth biggest increase over a previous season&#039;s best completion percentage since the merger, with the others being Steve Bartkowski, Jim Hart, David Carr, Archie Manning &amp; Jim Plunkett.

as or better then the best in history !!
