Michael Vick signs deal with Eagles

Michael Vick is back in the NFL, landing a job with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Vick’s agent, Joel Segal, confirmed Thursday that the sides had a deal.

Vick has not played in the NFL since 2006. The former Atlanta Falcons star was convicted in August 2007 of conspiracy and running a dogfighting operation, and was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison. He also was suspended indefinitely by the NFL.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally lifted Vick’s suspension on July 27, allowing him to sign with a team.

boooo

I guess crime does pay


Look at the money Vick is getting

I guess the Eagles won't be having a bring your dog to the game promotion like some baseball teams do.

Poor dogs

Speaking of dogs, I want a greyhound. I realized the other day they're way cool. Even though they run super fast they're super lazy!

Here's a greyhound:



Vick could kill that dog pretty easily I'm sure

Get a greyhound like Bart Simpson's dog Santa's Little Helper

Yeah, that one is cool, too. I like the non-grey ones more although any kind would work. We already have 2 dogs and 8! cats so we don't need anymore animals for a while.

You got enough animals to start a pet store Cat

He deserves a second chance like everybody else, its a good move by the Eagles. It gives them another offensive weapon. I've always liked Vick but lost respect when the dogfighting allegations came out.

Jack's right.
I forgive him.

he did jail time, learned his lesson, and is even working with the humane society.

So go Vick!

Every single one of the cats was a stray cat. Only 3 live in the house. All of them are welcome but the others won't come in.

Why not?

Michael Vick must be on Madden NFL 10 because ESPN.com's video game page has a photo gallery w/ him in the game on the Eagles offense against the Giants

I was wondering that.

They probably had to edit him in way late.

That or he's a free agent on the game and they just put him on the roster

They're afraid of the dogs. They live in the front yard. Won't come in the backyard since the dogs go back there.

They're all fixed though so we aren't breeding more cats nobody wants. Our neighbor has 9 cats, all of which were strays. We live practically downtown so we aren't in some rural area either.

Back to greyhounds. I was reading today that an estimated 12,000-20,000 greyhounds are killed each year in the United States when their racing career is over. This is normally at age 2-5. Greyhounds should live to be 10-12.

Most of the greyhound tracks I know of, including our local one, have greyhound rescue leagues that organize adoptions of the dogs. Most are saved here. They are a great dog, you just need a big enough yard, WITH A HIGH FENCE, so they can get the running exercise they require.
