Newport News native Michael Vick, who was jailed for over a year, returned Sunday with the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick saw little action and rushed for seven yards, with two incomplete pass attempts.
Vick was jailed for illegal dog fighting that took place in Surry County, about 35 miles from where he grew up in Newport News.
Some people are pretty upset about his return--including our local PETA headquarters in Norfolk--but a good portion of fans have been excited. Check out this article to see what others across the nation are saying.
I think it's great to see a terrific Tidewater athlete get back on the field. And this was a great weekend for it. VA Tech won big against Miami, led by Hampton native Tyrod Taylor. And Percy Harvin is tearing it up in the NFL with the Vikings.
Pretty good way to sum up the weekend for Tidewater sports.
