Tonight, Tonight, Mike Vick Comes Back Tonight...

Ladies and gentlemen, you read it correctly. For the first time in 2 NFL seasons, Michael Vick, noted dogfighting enthusiast, will be playing for the Philadelphia Eagles. His reinstatement and signing by the Eagles has been a move that received mixed reviews, some feeling that his crimes were too heinous to garner reinstatement and that he should never be allowed to take an NFL snap again. I, on the other hand, disagree.

While his crime was heinous, he has served his sentence and complied with the terms of his release, so far as we know. In that effect he should be able to come back to his previous vocation and be allowed to once again excel at being overrated and a one trick pony...pending that would have been allowed by Roger Goodell, and it happened. As you all should know, the NFL is a business. The main part of that business is winning, if you're winning then you are doing good business. From the main office standpoint, if you're selling jerseys and making money, then you're doing good business. For the NFL, Michael Vick represents both of those goals, he gives the Eagles a better chance to win and he gives the league the opportunity to sell more jerseys. So guess what, Mike Vick isn't going anywhere.

Of course, when all of you protesting crusaders realize that your efforts to protest Vick are futile, you could always go protest Donte' Stallworth. I mean, he did kill a man and got only 30 days in jail. But then again, maybe to you the life of a human is less than the life of a dog.

If I can view the game, I'll be back tomorrow with a response to Vick, if not, then I'll be back Monday morning with a round up of most of the pre-season action from this weekend. And yes, that includes the Sunday night Broncos/Bears game. But, unless something awesome happens (i.e. Cutler gets injured), then there will be no mention of McJaygate.

I leave you with this refresher on Vick...
