    In 2009, after his release from federal prison, Michael Vick didn't know if any NFL team would give him a second chance.

    When his phone finally rang, it was Andy Reid.

    "I'll never forget the opportunities given to me by this organization and by Andy Reid," Vick said Tuesday. "That will never change."

    On Thursday night, Vick will take the field with Reid once again standing on the sideline. Only this time, the man he describes as a lifelong friend will be wearing the bright red gear of the Kansas City Chiefs. For Vick and many of the Philadelphia Eagles players drafted and signed by Reid, it will be an unusual sight.

    "It's different, it's definitely different, knowing Coach Reid is on the other side," Vick said. "That's just where our lives took us. That's just the situation we're in right now."
