... the most surprising and controversial signing of the Andy Reid era on Thursday with emotions ranging from disgust to excitement.  The Eagles, a team that has long prided itself in character, had signed Michael Vick.

Those in opposition to this signing have spoken out loudly against it, but there are many who support the decision. There is no disputing that what Vick did was atrocious. He deserved to be punished severely, and he was. He spent two years in prison, away from his fiancé, his mother, and his children.

As much as he deserved to be punished, he deserves a second chance. The Eagles are giving him one, and they may be the perfect team to do it.
