Michael Vick: There Goes the Fans ...

The most shocking announcement of the NFL Post/Pre season came out this past Thursday evening. First came the Twitter rumors that Michael Vick was signing with the Buffalo Bills. Vick and T.O. on the same team ... now that's gangsta.

Then as I was leaving the 'District 9' showing (great movie, btw) and rebooted my iPhone, the bombshell came out, Michael Vick, signs with the the Philadelphia Eagles ... The Eagles? WTF. Serious? This can't be right. That was my first reactions.

But with every shock, comes the anger. With every anger, comes the consequences. And that is happening right now with the Iggles' Nation. I seen on a recent poll that over 60 percent of people are upset at this. The Patriot-News sports fan line was nearly a full page today. Over 2/3rd's of the comments were anti-Vick. Now, the anger has made it's way to the Jersey Shore.

One of my closest friends, Ryan, is celebrating his birthday weekend at the shore and he told me that a banner plane has this message: "Shame on the Eagles, boycott the games".

Anger is a VERY powerful thing. And this can play well for the Dallas Cowboys hands, if it is done right. Can rabid Eagles fans be rehabilitated back into normal football fans, and can they become Cowboys fans? I think so.

Granted, am I worried at a so called 'Wildcat' Eagles offense? Maybe. But come on. This is Andy Reid. And now they have Michael Sick as backup QB. This is gonna blow up in their faces.

The season has yet to start, but now the drama has started. Let it be known. Michael Vick IS NOT healed. As the Philadelphia Daily News said on their front page yesterday, "HIDE YOUR DOGS". And as one of my friends told me, "I think they need to throw Milk Bones into the field when he comes out". Could not said it better myself.
