He went to prison. Not country club prison, but federal “F you in the A” prison.

Let PETA do their usual song and dance; let them come to every game and spray blood like it’s a 1970s Gallagher concert, but don’t buy into this crap. We have a justice system for a reason. For every crime, there is a debt owed to society. Michael Vick has paid it according to the American judicial system.

Oh the sh*t storm that is going to ensue throughout the entire preseason! We will talk about the dogs, their names, how innocent and precious they were. I even heard an SNY personality claim that they might as well invite OJ back to play. Let’s all slow down, and take a breathe.

What we SHOULD be talking about is WTF are the Eagles going to do with that many QBs. Feely, Kolb…oh…and some dude named Donovan McNabb. Are they going to try some freakish reincarnation of the Wildcat Offense with one of the most talented NFL athletes since Deion? Will we play other positions? Is there a conditional for the $5M balloon in the 2nd year option?

…nope…

Instead, Michael Vick will be spending his first couple of days talking about animal violence with Philadelphia youths. There are already boycotts, burnings and protests scheduled for almost every press conference surrounding this. Look, I expect this from PETA – hot chicks who hate fur, love animals and have too much time on their hands – go crazy. But for the public to participate in the “outrage” is silly if not un-American. He f*&ked up, he paid the price and he is going back to what he does – playing football.

The perfect prototypical quarterback is normally comprised of certain characteristics: a natural born leader, a player whose heart is his strongest muscle, and a tall powerful frame that commands a presence in the pocket.  Well, for Jeff Garcia, two out of three ain’t bad. But it’s his heart and leadership which have helped the 38-year old veteran prove that he can win time and again, no matter what city he calls home.

Once again, Garcia got the call for the Bucs this weekend after replacing the injured Brian Griese last week, and guided them to a big 27-3 win over division rival Carolina. The cerebral warrior under center was efficient and effective as he managed the game by completing 15 of his 20 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown. (more…)
