Vick to play on Thursday

Eagles newest QB Michael Vick, who hasn't played an NFL game since Dec. 31, 2006, will make his debut with the team during their preseason game this Thursday. Reports say Vick has been playing well in practice but that's "not a game; we talkin' bout practice" (thanks Iverson). So it'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow when he's got a real defense opposite him.

I've been a bad little blogger

Ok I apologize for being M.I.A. as of late. Everyone keeps asking me about my thoughts on Vick. Well, let me tell you.

1. I'm genuinely disappointed the Browns didn't sign him. The irony of Vick playing in the dawg pound would have been awesome.
2. He spent a lot of time in jail. He's sorry. Other guys in the league have killed people (ok allegedly have killed people) and they didn't get the flack Vick's been getting. Not that I'm saying what he did was right but he served his time. Forgive him already.
3. PETA ...you piss the world off. Seriously. Everytime you throw paint on some woman with too much money's fur coat, you know she just goes out and buys another one. Therefore, you are actually assisting in killing animals too. So yeah, PETA, go away.
4. Also, another PETA thing... Dear PETA, who is crazier: you or Philly fans? I think we all know the answer. This season is going to be a wild ride.

Vick back at home

Michael Vick left prison early this morning to make his way home in Virginia to serve two months of home confinement ending July 20th. As I'm sure most of you are aware, Vick has been serving a prison term for dog fighting. Vick apparently wants to work with the Humane Society now to show his remorse and most likely, restore his public image. NFL Commissioner Goodell suspended Vick indefinitely so I guess we'll have to wait and see if he really believes that Vick is ready to come back and play. Although, I expect to see him back in somebody's lineup eventually.
