Here we are after his poor lifestyle choices off of the field. Cost him his integrity his public image his freedom destroyed his reputation and cost him a130 million dollar contact. In his rise from beneath the ashes Michael Vick Has inked a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles returning him to the field after A 2007 NFL ruling left him looking at indefinite suspension.
Michael Vick who was once the leagues highest paid player. Who had six 100 yard games from 2004 to 2006 102 games where he rushed for 10 or more yards. A three time Pro Bowler. So Michael Vick is a very gifted player. Who is now in the position to be on the field with another elite quarterback who has Achieved his own greatest.
Donovan Mc Nabb who has led his team to 5 NFL championships. And a appearance in the Super Bowl .So this is not your everyday NFL situation here. If my opinion counts for anything just having two player of this caliber on the same team could well possibly lead to a raising of the bar in the quarterback position and for the game of professional football as we know it
The local NAACP chapter will be out to support Michael Vick. Just as animal right activists are set to protest Vick's being allowed to play. If I can touch on this angle Michael Vick was not held in account for his misdeeds to the extent of baseball great Pete Rose who now after some 20 years was allowed to stand smile and raise his hat above his head and smile for the cameras as in his Big Red Machine days.
Folks there is no equality in being held accountable for your actions . People are not a forgiving sort by nature. And public opinion can be like lethal injection. Mankind suffers from a plague of vises and demons which take from time to time. It is Michael Vick today but when you wake up in the morning it will be in new name in the hot seat. At their news conference offering their plea For yours and my forgiveness.
