Now that the Michael Vick saga seems to be settling down, it's time to take another look at the how the Eagles roster is shaping up. With a preseason game under their belts, several players made strong cases for being on the team. This is my third attempt at predicting the Eagles Week One roster. Below my roster projection I have also listed several players who are on the bubble and I gave

Michael Vick's hyped up interview with James Brown aired early Sunday evening on CBS' 60 Minutes. At times, Vick came off very emotional while other times his words seemed fairly scripted. I'd say the interview didn't hurt him but it certainly didn't help his image.One of the things that bothered me was Vick's admission that the first time he was disgusted...

How will the Eagles use Michael Vick? That’s the question Reid and Co. have yet to answer. Will they unleash a version of the “Wildcat?” Or could they be diagramming a souped-up spread option attack? No one knows for certain.
All this speculation prompted ITI to do a little digging. Our spies at NovaCare have [...]

Michael Vick spoke with the creases of James Brown's forehead yesterday. Again we were treated to the spectacle of a man who has profited off a brutal, inhumane sport nonetheless claiming the moral high ground. I refer to James Brown. A flock of father confessors has surrounded Vick since his release from prison, all of them demanding that the quarterback perform a rite of penance...

Normally I like to jump on news like Mike Vick’s reinstatement to the NFL as soon as it’s broken and offer my editorial. This time, being that he’s on the team that I root for I wanted to wait. I wanted to let a few days go by, and really gauge how this fan base [...]

So ... Michael Vick. I wasn’t intending to ‘go there’ in this space—to me his is a straight social issue, and only tangentially Redskins-related in that Vick’s new team, the Philadelphia Eagles, play in the same division. However, a friend of mine whose thoughts I value and respect recently wrote a strongly-worded, passionate piece about Vick’s return to the NFL, and...

And they said he couldn’t be coached.I didn't see that at all on Sunday night's 60 Minutes interview with James Brown.Team Vick—the best lawyers, PR and marketing people money can buy—did quite well preparing, and Vick stuck with the game plan. He didn't improvise or call an audible.He came off as fairly sincere and honest, saying the right stuff. &ldquo...

There's any number of people who are kind of bent at the media's continued mouthjob for Farvarino. Judging from the reaction in Blogfrica, the MSM is going down the usual path on this, which is to say, getting to the point that the blogosphere was at two to three years ago... but it's still something of a minority view (hah! I kill me!) that the man is regarded with the...

On Thursday, August 13th, maligned-humanitarian and professional square peg Michael Vick signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles that includes a club option for 2010. The news came largely by surprise, not because it was under-reported that Vick would soon sign, but because people have always taken the Eagles at face value when they tell you what they're not...

A few months ago, I argued on Bleacher Report that if the NFL reinstated Donte Stallworth before Michael Vick, it would have to apologize to Vick.
Not a worry. Vick’s back in the NFL and has been signed by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Stallworth, who served 30 days in jail for drinking, driving and killing someone with his vehicle, will be given lots of time to think...
