Michael Vick back in the NFL Fraternity

If you have been following sports news or sports on the web, your aware that Michael Vick has been given a new lease on his football life by the NFL

This is no surprise to allsports who wrote back on July 22/09 that this would be the case. The article was titled ” Allsports Commentary- Michael Vick deserves a Second Chance“.

I stated then that he would be allowed back in to the NFL fraternity by Roger Goodell if he admitted his mistakes and made an effort to put the NFL in a more positive light. Well considering Vick talked to students in the Philly area this week, it looks like a deal was struck. Vick told the students to be leaders, not followers as he was when he got himself into trouble.

The question has to be asked though. Was this Vick’s idea? or was it pressed upon him by Goodell. I guess at this point it does not matter as the result is that Vick will be suiting up for the Philadelphia Eagles this season. In allsports opinion this makes the eagles the team to beat in the NFC this year. The reason being that the eagles will become a bit of a nightmare for the opposition to defend. Rotating Vick and McNabb will give so many different looks to the offence it will be very hard for defences to see what is coming at them.

Allsports has to wonder though, being a Chicago Bears fan. Where the hell were they when Vick became available. It is not like Chicago could not have used a Quarterback with Vick’s talent. He sure beats who they have at the helm now. Chicago would have become an instant contender in the NFC with his services.
