After an almost 2 year stint in prison, former NFL Quarterback Michael Vick has been reinstated into the NFL. Since being reinstated, the NFL, media and fans alike have welcomed Vick back with a lukewarm reception. There has also been a surge in media scrambling to change headlines about figuring out which team was going to add the former star to their roster. Would he be as good, is this risk worth the pay off and what team will even want the added media attention are just some questions NFL execs, coaches and fans have been asking.
Well Look no further friends, because it seems we have an answer.
Previously, Michael Vick was the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, but as time has progressed, so has his team. After being reinstated into the NFL, Vick has reportedly swapped feathers ultimately to join the immortal NFC enemy, the other bird in the east, the Philadelphia Eagles. How is this for irony? If you can't beat em join em is right. Michael Vick once a Falcon, is now a Philadelphia Eagle.
Obviously, until he proves otherwise this particular season the name Vick will be synonymus with controversy seeing as the current starting quarterback Donavan McNaab, a probowl teammate of Vick's now has pressure to play well or lose his job. How is this Phily sunday daytime drama different from any other season you ask? In my opinion its not. Just some more negativity for people to talk about in the city of brotherly love. Either way, the deal is signed and preseason has arrived and after all of the off-the-field off-season antics, I just have one question...Are You Ready For Some Football?
