Report: Michael Vick to play Week 1

Michael Vick may be playing a regular season game with the Eagles sooner than we thought.

News came out today that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will make a ruling on when Michael Vick can return to the field by Saturday, a move that will help the Eagles as they make their final roster cuts. Vick has been told that he will be able to return no later than Week 6, although word has spread that he will be able to suit up much sooner than that.

According to NFL Fanhouse, there is a good chance that Vick will play in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. Fanhouse has apparently been told by two sources close to the situation that they expect Goodell to reinstate Vick right away. It makes sense, given the precedent set by the Plaxico Burress situation. Goodell has already stated that Plaxico will not be suspended by the league once he gets out of jail in two years, so why should Vick have to pay further for his crime?

Vick's likely return will mean that A.J. Feeley's days in Philly are numbered. Andy Reid has said that he will hold on to Feeley until Vick is ready to come back, so look for Feeley to be dealt in the coming days. As for Vick, the news that he will be able to play right away isn't all that surprising. You had to figure that the Eagles knew that Goodell was going to lift the ban early so that's why they took the chance on Vick.

Hopefully the Eagles are working on exactly how Vick is going to be worked into this offense because it looks like we are going to see the Wildcat right away this season. As if there wasn't already enough excitement building for Week 1, this news puts it over the top.

Well...I sure hope that Football Commissioner was paid a whole lot of money ... so he can get his head out of his butt.
He obviously was given to much power because anyone that was 1/2 human or had any morals would not have reinstated Michael the Monster Vick.
Get that Commissioner out of Football ASAP.

STOP...Michael "the Monster" Vick is not Civilized...he is not even an animal...he is a MONSTER...in every sense of the word.
Shame on any fan that goes to that game...Any Fan that watches that game on TV...Cable...BOYCOTT!!!
Shame on the whole Eagles Organization and those involved in any way, shape or form, any backers, any wholesalers, any retailers, any Advertisers, any Commercials Running during the game etc etc etc ...ALL are Shameful and Pitiful Examples of Human Beings....Michael Vick is not civilized...no one should be standing up for a serial abuser...he is not far from injuring maiming...or killing a person...he is what he is...a serial abuser...he will in some sick way strike again and again...just like the many many dogs he has already admitted to killing and torturing...he is a MONSTER...And should be treated as such...This is not something you can be rehabilitated over...this was him...a monster through and through...
this is my opinion and what I see and feel about this whole travesty...
He does not belong on a professional team...making money to set up shop here...
He did not make "A" mistake he killed many dogs in many ways, over many years, these eight dogs were just a tip of the Michael Vick trashy Ice Berg, many dogs suffered from his hand this came from his mouth...
You can close your eyes , but I wont and my mouth , and fingers, and calls, and anything else I can do will just keep on spilling out...
...I personally rescue these dogs and take them away from spineless, cold , cruel and inhumane trash talking idiots like Michael Vick and the others that support him...
Boycott, protest, and picket...any and all ...owners of the Eagles, trainers, coaches, cheerleaders, mascots, fans that fly the logo, any team that allows Michael Vick on their fields to play, City Hall for the response to a second chance given to Vick,
His second chance was getting out of jail...He should be banned from ever playing a professional sport again...why put the money back in the hand of such a mentally disturbed, demented, cruel and animalistic psychopath again...so he can set up shop somewhere else ????????? He is a repeat offender...These acts were instilled in him...this is an addict...in every sense
of the word...He will act out again...he is a serial abuser and in more ways then one...no doubt...
As for all the explanations,,,from Lurie, McNabb, Reid and the coaches...B/S they should all be ashamed of themselves and question just how moral and humane they truly are....
BOYCOTT, PROTEST AND PICKET EVERYONE INVOLVED AND DO NOT FORGET THE PLAYERS...IF THEY AGREE TO PLAY ON THIS TEAM WITH SUCH A DEMENTED IDIOT ... INCLUDE THEM ALSO...
Absolutely NOT...no support here...
BOYCOTT, PROTEST AND PICKET ANY AND ALL FIELDS THAT THE EAGLES PLAY AT...
BOYCOTT, PROTEST AND PICKET THE NOVA CENTER, CITY HALL FOR SPEAKING OUT ...ABOUT SECOND CHANCES... AND ANY AND ALL COACHES, OWNERS, TRAINERS, MASCOT, CHEERLEADERS ETC...IF IT / THEY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE EAGLES AND OR MICHAEL VICK...BOYCOTT, PROTEST AND PICKET...
The Fan Base needs to get out there and show that they do not agree with him being on the team and get him out of here...
HIS SECOND CHANCE WAS GETTING OUT OF JAIL...
HE SHOULD NEVER PLAY PROFESSIONAL BALL AGAIN....EVER!!!!!!
Everyone involved or backing this Michael Vick ...
There should not be any support for such a disgusting, cruel, psychotic piece of trash as this guy...
Stand up FANS...take your team back and say no to this...
There needs to be a rally and a damn big one...
Get a backbone and speak out against bringing The Michael Vick Trash to town...
DO NOT LET THIS ATTROSITY FALL BY THE WAY SIDE
...Just say no....

Sure he's a monster.... he's a monster who did what the court required.... he's a monster who plays football. If he was a monster but could cure aids would you not let him do that?

Don't push your moral standings on the rest of us.

Your job is to be concerned about yourself. Just because he plays a sport and makes alot of money you feel that he shouldn't be able to do this.

Where does the line stop? At what point are you ok with him continuing his life? Can he win the lottery? Manage a large business? Or do you think he should just sit at home and be punished for eternity?

When are we going to stop worrying about others and focus on ourselves. I have enough issues in my life that i'm trying to work on, if some asshole wants to play football I'm going to let him... why?

Because what he does from now on... assuming he abides by all laws has no impact on me. Why should anyone judge what he can and can't do just because he makes a good amount of money....
