Don't be fooled into thinking that Michael Vick signing with the Eagles is about second chances - what it really is all about is our insatiable need to be entertained. http://hoopsmanifesto.blogspot.com/2009/08/just-song-and-dance-man.html
I don't really understand the point of the article. The Eagles signed him and gave him a second chance because they felt that with his skill level, and his price, it could turn out to be a low risk high reward type of thing. Obviously if he injures himself in prison and cannot run anymore, he wouldn't be back on the football field. If the Eagles didn't think Vick will give them more opportunity at success, he wouldn't be in midnight green.
Dumbest article ever....its about winning football games and making money....don't be fooled into thinking it is anything other than that
