Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie was exactly correct and this Liberal Loon is entirely off base.

Vick served his prison sentence in full, lost tens of millions in salary and endorsements, was forced into bankruptcy, and lost most of his personal possessions.

Vick is currently is the poster boy for someone having done something incredibly stupid, having been punished as a result, and is now successfully using his God-given abilities to turn his life around.

What more do Libtards want from the guy? Life imprisonment? The death penalty, perhaps?

I'd be happy to see a video of him being torn apart by a rabid pit bull.

This guy is absolutely right. Richard Cohen might be a "liberal loon," but he can be remarkably objective on some issues over time.

If Michael Vick was your average illiterate thug from any number of America's urban rat-holes, he never would have gotten this "second chance."

You must be one of the "jock-sniffers" mentioned in the article.

Vick should never have been returned to the NFL.

It wasn’t because he’s a “jock”; it’s because he’s black. Why can’t we just SAY it?

[Osage Orange]

The death penalty, perhaps?

Some FReepers want/wanted that!

[OPS4]

Is the fact that Michael Vick is African America have anything to do with this hand up from the President and the media? Promoting African American QB’s seems to be rooted in the sport, from college on up.

You decide!

So, Lurie and Reid finally figured out that McNabb was over-rated and traded him.

To a team in the same division!

How's that for telling the world McNabb is a lousy QB?

And how stupid can Snyder/Shanahan be for doing it?

Then the Eagles turn things over to Kolb/Vick.

Kolb, likeable but not a 1st tier QB.

Vick, a dunderheaded QB with a strong arm. He can run around like a blind cat in a seafood store and eventually draw enough defenders away from pass protection to complete his passes and amass impressive running stats 7-12 yards at a clip as the defenders are that far back.

Will Vick ever win a championship for anybody? NO.

Will he put butts in the seats and eyeballs on the tube? For a while.

Then the fans realize having Vick at QB is like driving a Corvette down a blind alley. You get no where really fast.

[Revolting cat!]

Don't forget that it was called thugball, ghettoball, and armpitball before they stole the name from the real football played with, gasp, feet!
