Beautiful. The league's most notorious player goes to the team I hate the most. Hating the Eagles never felt so good. :D

I thought you reserved most of your NFL hatred for any of the other NFC South teams.

Nope. The only team I've ever really disliked in the NFC South is Atlanta, but I like Matt Ryan so I don't hate them anymore. I just hope the Panthers can hold them off.

Who knows with that bunch. They kissed McNabb's butt during the whole Owens situation. Than last year it seemed like they wanted to go with Kolb, until they realized he sucked(Kolb).

Well, hating the eagles is a new feeling for this life-long fan; but you hire an animal abuser and you get dropped like a cheating spouse. It hurts, but signing him helped me to bleed out the green and white.
 
Thought one of the ESPN talking heads said this was with McNabb's input/approval, but then again, I drank this tonight, so memory could be incorrect - Steve's giant pina colada brain freeze on Twitpic (and as a result have been asleep since just after halftime started... until now)

Edit: McNabb says he's excited (aka being a professional) about adding more weapons to the team.

Vick will make $1.6 million for the first year of the deal. The Eagles have an option on the second year for $5.2 million.

Vick is going to address the media today, per the CNBC morning show.

PETA released their usual over the top statement which I think takes all the validity it could have had and throws it out the window because of how graphic and inciting they made it as they pretend he didn't go to prison for his crimes...

PETA and millions of decent football fans around the world are disappointed that the Philadelphia Eagles have chosen to sign a man who hanged dogs from trees, electrocuted them with jumper cables, held them underwater until they drowned in his swimming pool, and even threw his own family dogs into the fighting pit to be torn to shreds while he laughed. What sort of message does this send to young fans who care about animals and don't want to see them be harmed?

PETA certainly hopes that Vick has learned his lesson and feels truly remorseful for his crimes—but since he's given no public indication that that's the case, only time will tell. At this point, all Eagles fans can do is cross their fingers and hope that they won't ever have to explain to their sons and daughters what a "rape rack" is and why their favorite player was using one, as Falcons fans once had to.

If PETA was a black guy, I think Jesse Jackson would say 'oh that dude is on his own', no offense.

Funny how PETA totally ignored the fact that someone from the Humane Society was with him. There are 2 sets of fans that will not be affected by PETA, ONE was Raider fans...and the other are Eagle Fans. IF Vick shows in preseason that he can be ANY kind of asset to the team...Eagle fans will eat PETA protesters ALIVE!
IF Vick look GREAT, any PETA protester within 200 yards of the stadium WILL BE risking their lives. Eagle fans will run Vick out of Philly WAY BEFORE some PETA protesters.

After all of this time off of the field you expect him to look sharp? The fans in philly boo loudly and very quickly. He won't get a very long "chance" especially with his past.
 
Andy Reid should be the perfect coach for Vick. He's used to parenting troubled kids. It's well documented the issues he's had with his own family in the past...
 
McNabb said this morning (paraphrasing) that HE is still this teams QB and that Vick will be the backup. He also said that he is comfortable with Vick coming in every once in a while for a Wild Cat Formation, similar to when Chad Pennington came out every so often in Miami.

In other news, Commissioner Goodell still hasn't fully reinstated Vick yet.....

The only way he will not be re-instated is if he COMPLETELY F****-up! The Eagles would NOT have signed him if there was even the slightest chance of he not being reinstated.
