Well, Michael Vick is once again in the NFL. In a sorta surprise move, he landed in Philadelphia, signing a 2 year deal worth nearly $7 million in base salary form the Eagles. Indeed. I was surprised because some thought he might sign with a lesser profile, less pressure-filled environment. Going to Philly is akin to Barry Bonds signing with the Yankees or Donte Stallworth signing with the Lions (oops, forget that one!). But I won't begrudge him; if TO could (briefly) be loved in Philly, Vick has a chance to win fan support.
But, for those of you who can't stand the fact that Vick is back, have no fear! Here's a list of things you probably would have preferred happen to Vick:
10. The "Wildcat" formation eats him alive!: Wouldn't that be the ultimate irony?
9. Jose Canseco says in his next book he injected Vick with steroids!: It just seems like a natural step for Jose, doesn't it?
8. Have Vick sit in a room, and listen to Skip Bayless talk nonstop for ten minutes: There's nobody in the world who can stand up to that pressure!
7. Have him on the new "Shaq Vs" playing football...and have him try to tackle Shaq!: Wouldn't that be like what Kobe said one time; a Ferrari running into a brick wall?
6. He signs a multi-year deal to play for and coach the Clippers: He'd rather be in jail than endure that!
5. Have him watch a soccer match: Sorry, I just plain hate soccer!
4. Have him hire Trevor Ariza's agent: If he ran negotiations, Vick would've landed in the UFL!
3. Have him work at a Home Depot: That would be so ironic; to work at Arthur Blank's old stomping ground! I just wish Blank still owned it.
2. Have him star in a reality-show version of "The Fugitive": Can you just see him looking at Tommy Lee Jones saying "I don't care." when he says "I didn't mean to kill my pets!"?
And finally...
1. Have him play for the Detroit Lions: Technically, they aren't an NFL team!
What say you about Vick's return? Will he be eaten alive, or will he give Philly fans a reason to cheer? Leave me a comment. And it's great to be back after a month in dry dock! See ya later!
