Vick is an Eagle! Yippie! Finally! I am so proud of the Philadelphia Eagles for embracing Vick and giving him a home. Yes, there are still naysayers – those who love dogs and hate what Vick did – and they probably won’t forgive him or give him a chance. The Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was quoted as saying they were “incredibly disappointed” at the news of Vick’s signing. But who cares? That really isn’t up to them is it? I cannot believe the arrogance and judgementalness of so many.

According to this article on CNN:  Ed Sayres, president and CEO of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said in a statement that “Commissioner Roger Goodell and the Philadelphia Eagles have granted Michael Vick a second chance, and the ASPCA expects Mr. Vick to express remorse for his actions, as well as display more compassion and sound judgment this time around than he did during his previous tenure with the NFL.”  Omigoodness! Seriously???

In the scheme of things, it was dogs. He did his time and life goes on! He is an entertainer, not the Pope and now he can do his job and entertain millions. I predict Michael Vick’s first game (whenever that will be since they reinstated him on “a conditional basis”) will be the most watched game of the season, barring the super bowl!

There are many stories on line; this particular one is from CNN, (http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/08/13/vick.eagles/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2009/US/08/13/vick.eagles/index.html. Read all about it and please tell us how you feel about Vick finally settling into a team and how you feel about him being an Eagle!

Congratulations Michael. We are glad to have you back!

Holla back!
