Vick signs deal with Eagles


PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- By halftime, the Linc was buzzing: Michael Vick was an Eagle.

Suddenly, no one seemed to care much about the preseason game against the New England Patriots on Thursday night. All that mattered to most fans was that the disgraced quarterback had joined their team.

Agent Joel Segal confirmed the signing, shortly before the Philadelphia Eagles announced it in a text message. The team gave Vick a one-year deal with an option for a second year.

"We don't need another quarterback, especially him," longtime fan Donald Crispin said.

The 29-year-old Vick, once the NFL's highest-paid player, has been out of action since 2006. The former Atlanta Falcons star was convicted in August 2007 of conspiracy and running a dogfighting ring, and served 18 of a 23-month sentence in federal prison. He also was suspended indefinitely by the NFL.

Commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally lifted Vick's suspension on July 27, allowing him to sign with a team, practice and play in the last two preseason games. Once the season begins, Vick can participate in all team activities except games, and Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 (Oct. 18-19) at the latest.

The Eagles reached the NFC championship game last season under quarterback Donovan McNabb, and are still looking for their elusive first Super Bowl win.

McNabb has led the Eagles to five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl appearance in the last eight years, and was rewarded with a $5.3 million raise in the offseason. The Eagles tore up his old contract with two years remaining, and gave him a new deal worth $24.5 million over the next two seasons.

The team is a surprise landing point for Vick. It was among 26 clubs that said there was no interest in him, but that may have changed when backup Kevin Kolb strained a knee ligament earlier this week. Kolb's injury isn't serious and he's expected to return next week. The Eagles also have veteran A.J. Feeley.

When news of Vick's signing circulated in the press box during the first half of the Eagles' preseason opener against New England, even the team's public relations staff seemed surprised.

The crowd quickly caught on at Lincoln Financial Field. Fans standing on the concourse were in disbelief. One guy wondered how quickly he'd be able to buy a Vick jersey. Another asked if this was a joke.

"It doesn't make any sense," said Michelle Harlan, a mother attending her first NFL game with a young son.

In a "60 Minutes" interview set to air Sunday, Vick accepted blame for not stopping the illegal dogfighting operation he bankrolled.

Vick said he feels "some tremendous hurt behind what happened."

He said he should have taken "the initiative to stop it all ... I didn't."

Asked if he was more concerned about his playing career or the dogs he hurt, Vick replied, "Football don't even matter."

The animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, wasted no time reminding people exactly what Vick had done.

"PETA and millions of decent football fans around the world are disappointed that the Eagles decided to sign a guy who hung dogs from trees. He electrocuted them with jumper cables and held them under water," PETA spokesman Dan Shannon told The Associated Press.

"You have to wonder what sort of message this sends to young fans who care about animals and don't want them to be harmed."

Since Andy Reid became the head coach in 1999, the Eagles have avoided players with character issues. The lone exception came in 2004 when Philadelphia acquired wide receiver Terrell Owens. That move paid off when Owens helped lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl in his first season. But T.O. quickly wore out his welcome, criticizing management over a contract dispute and feuding with McNabb. He was released midway through the 2005 season.

"I couldn't envision Mike being here," said former Eagles linebacker Ike Reese, a teammate of Vick's in Atlanta in 2005-06. "I didn't see where he fit in. I think most people in the locker room would accept it. Donovan is very secure in his position. He wants to see Mike get another opportunity."

Pretty funny ..... I saw how KL picked the Dolphins also ..... you guys don't seem to realize just how dominant the Patriots are.

Saw 'em last night and sure, that was only preseason which means nothing.....but man, are they powerful!! No team in the league has more offensive weapons and of course they have the best quarterback on the planet, and one of the best of all time. Same as predicted last year, when he unfortuantely went down with a knee injury effectively ending the season; as long as Brady stays healthy the Pats go all the way.


{Do we really believe the Steelers would've won it all if big Ben had been injured in game one? Come on ......}


No team can run up the score with them, and the Pats should be something like 14-2 or 15-1; although you may remember in week 5 of the 2007 I called them to go undefeated and they did {you can look it up if you want} and they may again this year, who knows and they are very strong.



Larry Bird, another Boston Legend, once walked into the annual NBA 3-point contest and looked around at the assembled talent, all of whom were masters at hitting the 3-point bomb, and said; "you guys are all playing for 2nd place". Then he went out and won the contest, of course.

Hate to tell you guys, but as long as Brady stays healthy your teams are all playing for 2nd place.

.....and wheres your picks hot shot? I only see the Superbowl Champ mentioned. At least the other fellas went out on a limb and picked all the other divisions.

 I travel for most of every winter these days and can't follow the NFL as I once did; I wish I could!  and where I go there is no TV, hell there is hardly electricity part of the time and brownouts happen frequently.

If you want me to make picks for the rest of the league I can, but I am admitting I don't know fuck-all about the NFC central or the other divisions; perhaps if I was here year-round and followed the league as I once did I could make decent choices but at this point it would all be just guesswork, I really only know the AFC east.
