There are plenty of franchises with much worse track records as far as character and personnel go. I'm also not sure how those on-the-field incidents and media grandstanding by a single player somehow equate with criminality off the field. There are actual murderers on other teams.

This league is stocked with bad guys, the Eagles are hardly the rogues' gallery you paint them to be. Up until now, they've actually been one of the better franchises in that regard.

If you're going to use that argument, why isn't Vick on the Rams? They not only used a draft pick on all-around bad guy Lawrence Phillips, they also paid Leonard Little a ton of money and he actually killed a person? Sounds like you're just as blinded by your preconceptions about the Eagles as I am about Vick.

Anyway, I was giving this some more thought and this is a golden opportunity for Vick and the Eagles PR staff to make a huge difference in an area that they can do the most good. Pennsylvania is one of the worst states for the puppy mill trade. It's a huge problem and is pervasive thoughout the Amish culture. Not that I think the Amish people watch football (hah!) but this could be a good opportunity to get Vick to bring this problem to light to the potential customers of this horrific practice. Let Vick finish what Oprah started and put these assholes out of business. Their abuse is far more systemic and far-reaching than Vick's was.

Get on this Derek Boyko.
