Michael Vick Returns

The major buzz of the day is Michael Vick's return to the field in a live game with his new team, the Philadelphia Eagles. After two years behind bars and almost three season since he's been on the field Vick is trying to regain his former glory and show he's still got it. It's hard to get it back when you never had it in the first place. People blinded by Vick's ability to run wrongly voted him into three pro bowls. If he was a running back that would be a worthwhile achievement. The thing is, Vick's position was quarterback and he was not a good one at that. We've all heard the stories about how great his deep ball is but a deep ball is useless if its not on target. Vick could not throw with accuracy and that's why the Falcons spun their wheels each year aside from the one where he led the Falcons to a playoff win over the Packers.
Like Brett Favre, Vick is going to divide the locker room and regardless of what Donovan McNabb says, there is no way he is happy to have Vick in the fold after the Eagles gave him a pay raise instead of a contract extension. Next season both will be free agents and the Eagles will keep the one who will play for the least money, mark my words. Michael Vick should never have been allowed back into the NFL this season if at all. Not only did Vick bankroll a dogfighting operation he massacred dogs with his own two hands. This is the person you want impressionable first, second and third year players following? I wouldn't. After two years in jail that forty time has undoubtedly increased and I seriously doubt anyone was teaching him how to throw with touch and accuracy. The game is faster, the linemen and defensive ends are faster and once we reach the winter months Vick will truly be exposed as the manufactured champion of the game he once was.
In Atlanta, Vick played in a dome, out of the elements. In Philadelphia he will be playing outside and no matter what his forty time is now, its going to mean nothing when there is snow and ice on the field and he has to resort to being a *gasp* pocket passer!! Vick is back because he is broke and owes the Falcons a boatload of cash, not to mention legal fees. He will deserve everything he gets from the boos to the protesters at his games to his demotion to 'Wildcat' only plays. Better brush up on your Baha Men because every time Vick hits the field in an opponents stadium 'Who let the dogs out' will be blaring over the loudspeakers. As a dog lover, I and throngs of people nationwide will be waiting to see you getting your just desserts by fizzling out in you comeback bid. Since we can't lock you in a kennel and unleash ravenous dogs on your sorry hide we'll leave it to karma. Like a female dog, karma is a bitch. In two years Michael Vick will be gone and doing autograph signings for money in Las Vegas next to Pete Rose. Rust in peace Michael.
