Vick Looks Solid in First Practice

Share

(Newser) – Michael Vick returned with his No. 7 to the football field today, running the scouts' offense in practice with the Philadelphia Eagles. How'd he do? Apparently, not bad for an ex-con: "His first toss ... was a little wobbler over the middle to Danny Amendola," notes the Eagles blog of the Inquirer. "He looked better during one-on-ones, hitting Jeremy Maclin deep with a few bombs."

Vick also practiced briefly with the main squad, giving a playful fist pump after completing his one and only pass, notes the AP. He even got a bear hug from starter Donovan McNabb. “We have to get him in football shape,” said coach Andy Reid. "He's very fortunate he knows the foundation of this offense. That will speed things up.”

Not interested in Vick or the Philadelphia Eagles (since they signed him). I don't care if Vick looks like Superman - He's a sick schmuck. I have no respect for the NFL for allowing this animal back in their flock... Reply

For those of the religious persuasion, its supposed to be "Hate the sin, love the sinner." Sure, forgive, since nobody is close to being perfect BUT, forgetting, that's a MUCH tougher job. Forgiveness does not include requiring one to support the NFL, the Eagles or, Vick himself...and I. like many, won't. Here's wishing ZERO luck to the FILTHYDEPHIA Money Ho's.

Football chick flick lacks suspense, delivers happy ending

(Newser) - The Blind Side lacks inherent suspense—it's based on the true story of Michael Oher, a rookie offensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens. But the tale of a homeless African-American teen adopted by big-hearted white yuppies, at bottom a Sandra Bullock vehicle, goes over big in football country.
