(Newser) – Michael Vick, who last played in the NFL in 2006, will be eligible to suit up for the Eagles on Sept. 27, the Philadelphia Daily News reports. "Hopefully we can have a success story here that will be good for society in general and good for the NFL," commissioner Roger Goodell said today after meeting with the suspended quarterback and coach Andy Reid. "He is very genuine in his remorse."

the pitbull pariah is a changed man...ha......he's sorry he got caught.....Sorry but the "raised that way " argument to justify or excuse or attenuate what he did is male bovine post gastric lower colon effluvia....or bullshit. I grew up seeing my best buds dad drink himself to death, and abuse his kids, and others steal and or do drugs....I don't ...I was in that "enviroment" and knew it was wrong...You have a choice, to do or not to do
