Philadelphia Inquirer

Philadelphia Inquirer
Philadelphia Inquirer Sports Columnist Phil Sheridan writes today Michael Vick is “not worth the trouble for Eagles”. Philadelphia Inquirer’s Sheridan blasts Vick as The Philadelphia Daily News “greets” Vick with a Friday cover that reads “Hide Your Dogs”. Sheridan says Vick was a “polarizing figure”. But today, Sheridan feels Vick isn’t worth the gamble.
“The downside here just isn’t worth the potential upside. It just isn’t.” Andy Reid thinks PETA has his support. “This is America. We do make mistakes, and in this situation he has a chance to prove he is doing the right things and I think the fans will be excited for him as long as he continues to do them. He’s been proactive, speaking all over the country and working with the Humane Society.”
Cue PETA statement from Dan Shannon to AP: “PETA and millions of decent football fans around the world are disappointed that the Eagles decided to sign a guy who hung dogs from trees. “He electrocuted them with jumper cables and held them under water. You have to wonder what sort of message this sends to young fans who care about animals and don’t want them to be harmed.”
