Michael Vick is all for Brett Favre joining the Eagles

One rather important member of the Eagles has weighed on the rumor that the team is interested in Brett Favre joining the team as a backup quarterback.

“I would be honored to have Brett Farve as a backup. That will be amazing Learning how to toy with defenses the way he did his whole career,” Michael Vick wrote on Twitter.

First things first: There is no indication Favre would be interested in joining the Eagles as a backup. Howard Eskin of WIP radio reported the Eagles have “some” interest in signing Favre, but no one is saying the interest is mutual. Yet.

It’s hard to imagine Favre gladly accepting a backup role in any scenario, although it makes more sense for him to do it under old pal Andy Reid.

At least it makes as much sense as FavreWatch starting once again now that the lockout appears to be ending.

UPDATE: Vick appears to have deleted the tweet. Odd.

It’s hard to imagine Favre gladly accepting a backup role in any scenario, although it makes more sense for him to do it under old pal Andy Reid.

And with Vick being as injury-prone as he is, Favre would likely see quite a bit of playing time.

is he bringing his dog?

That will be amazing Learning how to toy with defenses the way he did his whole career

Toying with their emotions, not knowing which defensive player was going to have the ball thrown directly at them?

[TexasNative2000]

Great news. It gives Favre the opportunity to get beaten by the Cowboys two MORE times...

[GeronL]

Not Favre again!??!!

[right way right]

Is he bringing his cell phone?

[RobRoy]

Are they doing another “Hell freezes over” tour?

[JerseyHighlander]

Favre must really hate his home life.

I mean, that’s the only explanation I got other than he’s got hit in the head too many times.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Favre would only tarnish his legacy more by doing this.

Obama is pretty talented and has no sense of reality. Maybe they should sign him?

[ScottinVA]

Didn`t Favre already retire for 19th time?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Why not hire Brett as a quarterback coach? He doesn’t need player money, and he’d still be close to the game. And he wouldn’t have to use “Just for Men” on his hair, either.

"..didn't know Vick could sing, but I was in jail etter"

[discostu]

He got paid 20 million buck last year. I would gladly take that beating for that money.

[dead]

Very few teams represent the ethics and culture of their city as well as the Eagles do.

[RINOs suck]

It gives Favre the opportunity to get beaten by the Cowboys two MORE times...

More likely, it would give him a chance to watch his team beat them two more times given that the Eagles are the class of the division.

Would you live in Philly for coach’s pay?

Yeah maybe but I doubt he would.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Would you live in Philly for coach’s pay?

I remember driving through a not-so-nice area of Philly in 2008 just before the election. On one street corner there was a big poster of Obama, and someone had drawn a mustache and van dyke on it. A weird place, to be sure.

Takes the spotlight off the dog killer.
