Thinking Out Loud
Vick in Philly
Michael Vick will become a Philadelphia Eagle.
Like anyone who commits a crime and does the time, he deserves a second shot.
What he condoned, took part in and lied about was heinous.
As a dog owner it's hard for me to imagine the kind of cruelty he did to animals in the interest of sport and amusement.
But some people have been harder on him than on athletes who have actually killed other people.
And it's still worth reminding the holier than thou out there how insensitive Guilford County is to animals in another way: We abandon them at alarming rates, as the folks at the Animal Shelter will attest.
From a football standpoint, I can't help but wonder how Donovan McNabb feels about all this. Happy? Threatened?
One plus for Vick being in Philly: It's his home field now. He won't have to face the wrath of the legendarily cruel Philly fans.
Until he throws his first interception.
