Today the Philadelphia Eagles held a press conference and announced they have signed Michael Vick to their roster. The sooner that Mike Vick starts playing football, the sooner the circus will end for him and the Eagles. He is not the distraction, the media is making his presence a distraction. If Tony Dungy thinks that Mike Vick is ready to the extent that he has lobbied for him to return to the NFL, THAT is a huge positive.
You can harp on past indiscretions that Mike Vick committed but he paid his debt to society. He is doing charity work for animal rights groups. Only time will tell if he is truly on the right track in life but the fact that Tony Dungy is behind him, tells me alot. Dungy is a man who has integrity, faith, sense of community and happens to know the game of football.
I am not an Eagles fan but they did the right thing by giving Mike Vick a second chance. Donovan McNabb also fought for him to be a part of his team. I don't see any problems at QB. McNabb won't play forever and if Vick is still Vick on the field, that could be a very good thing for the Eagles.
Roger Goodell will fully reinstate Vick by week 6 which gives Vick time to get back into football shape. He also wants to see if Vick will continue on the right road as far as being a good person.
We shall see. I am just glad we are not talking about Brett Favre returning today!
