Vick is signed· Page 3

In August 2007, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said that he'd "never" allow someone who was involved in dogfighting to play for the Eagles.

"Never" came Thursday.

"We're very disciplined in what we stand for," Lurie told reporters just over two years ago (via MDS of FanHouse, via an e-mail from a reader reminding us of the item). "Let me give you an example -- a few years ago we had a couple players who were . . . to put this nicely, not very respectful of their dogs. . . . Well, we don't respect that. We don't do that. And they were gone from the team almost immediately if not immediately. That sets a tone, that these kinds of attitudes are unacceptable."

Found it interesting too that the Eagles didn't even give Vick a workout and still are paying him 1.6 million.

Yeah. They just decided to skip the media circus and sign him first, then kick the tires.

But, it's not like they didn't have any serious discussions first.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

I'm happy for him. Players kill people and they don't get as scrutinized as Michael Vick. Example: Ray Lewis....

This might be best discussed in a different thread, but did he really kill someone? From what I remember reading and hearing was he was present when it happened.

I've just heard in the past that he stabbed someone. I'm not positive on that, though.

Okay I'll give another example. Dante Stallworth (24 days in prison, compared to 2 years).

I looked up Ray Lewis. He didn't kill anyone. They charged him heavy because they knew he knew what happened. By charging him it forced his hand to squeal on his buddies.

Mike Vick said he made a mistake. No, he didn't. A one-time accident is a mistake. Mike Vick has compiled a long history of screwed up life choices.

Even tho I hate what he did, our law said he has paid his price..

And the man in charge of the sport iIove,is giving him a chance..

So I am willing to do the same

I agree. But I can still protest with every fiber of my being his lame non-apology that he made a mistake.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
