Amazing that they dont force media outlets to just report the bonus and not the BS total. Should be policy.

I’m jarred that people would actually think Michael Vick would be the QB for the eagles at the age of 37.

why not? he’ll still have that howitzer when he’s that old and will be less prone to move out of the pocket.

The Eagles are paying him the market rate for a decent QB, not Manning, Rivers, or Brady. Those guys would get north of $20 million a season right now on a new deal.

Wait, what? Manning just signed his deal.

Well shit, the Saints were a missed Garrett Hartley kick against the Falcons from home field advantage for the second year in a row. Maybe we should break the bank for him too.

or invest in a defense that can tackle and beat a below .500 team on the road in the playoffs.

Apparently she forgot that Vick is far more valuable to his team than Tebow and Vick being injured would be catastrophic for the Eagles.

i thought h-backs are supposed to hit people.

“When Tim Tebow bowls over a couple of defensive players for a touchdown in a meaningless preseason game, it’s considered a display of his toughness and leadership. But when Vick launches himself at Troy Polamalu after throwing a costly interception, it’s considered risky and stupid.”

Apparently she forgot that Vick is far more valuable to his team than Tebow and Vick being injured would be catastrophic for the Eagles. Also, Vick is older and has previous injuries. But whatever, I guess it’s totally a black and white thing.

but the game was at home and Philly was an underthrown Vick pass away from Vicktory

This is how it should have read

this paints the wrong picture for young athletes, whether you think athletes are role models or not

1. Who ever had a role model anyways?
2. No one would credit the dog fighting to the $100 million
3. He would be one of the richest athletes in the world if he hadn’t fought dogs.

I might be the biggest animal lover on the planet and even I can’t hate on Michael Vick getting paid. We have to put things in perspective. I think Leonard Little is a much bigger sack of shit than Michael Vick yet he didn’t get a punishment nearly as bad as Vick’s.

I do think it would be in his best interest to make a sizable donation to the Humane Society.
