Michael Vick Given a Second Chance in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles!

Author: Staff | Date: August 14th 2009 | Views: 141

So it looks as though Michael Vick is going to get a second chance in the NFL after all. The former Atlanta Falcon was given a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, with an option for a second year. The first year is worth $1.6 million while the second year is worth $5.2 million, according to AP. A special clause in his contract says that none of the money is 100% guaranteed, so the Eagles won’t be facing any financial risk if Vick doesn’t make the team.

“I think everybody deserves a second chance,” a somber Vick said Friday, a day after signing with the Philadelphia Eagles. “We all have issues, we all deal with certain things and we all have our own set of inequities. I think as long as you are willing to come back and do it the right way and do the right things and that you’re committed, then I think you deserve it. But you only get one shot at a second chance, and I am conscious of that.”

The three-time Pro Bowl pick served 18 months in federal prison for running an illegal dogfighting ring and was reinstated into the NFL after being shunned in 2006.

It is soooo stupid to see a young woman on television crying over a few dogs!!! If it was Michael Vick (Black man) or a Hispanic man who was beat up or attacked by a vicious dog no one would care! What you all are saying is an animal (dog) life is far better than a black man or hispanic man! If any of the three were to get hit by a car you all (haters) would run to help the dog!! You all (haters) are so evil that you’ve come up with a new tactic “Dogs are like humans’)! Give me a break! You all (haters) are so phony! as well as PETA! Hey PETA go after the chinese for killing the cats and feeding them to the American public! or better yet, go after the thousands of White folks who are having cock fights with their chickens! You all are so Phony!! This is and it will always be about Old White Mean hating on Black Men!! What a hateful bunch of old faggots you are!! Old dogs up to new tricks, right? You are all a bunch of haters!! Mr. Vick did his time (which in my book is ridiculous)! Even I as a woman grew up using my dog in dog fights! Mr. Vick should never have received jail time! This was just a case of trying to bring a Black man down. You all aren’t satisfied yet! You all (haters) are still trying to make him suffer! For what reason? other than to just hate him!! Hey did any KKK folks receive time for killing millions of Black people? or should we have been “dogs” in order to get justice?
