    Vick Signs with Eagles

    PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Michael Vick is in Philadelphia looking for a second chance and a fresh start with the Eagles.

    "I know I've done some terrible things, made a horrible mistake. Now I want to be part of the solution and not the problem," Vick said Friday, referring to his conviction for his role in running a dogfighting ring.

    Vick was introduced at a press conference a day after signing a one-year deal with an option for a second year with the Eagles.

    Vick was flanked by Eagles coach Andy Reid and mentor Tony Dungy.

    The 29-year-old Vick has been out of action since 2006. The former Atlanta Falcons star served 18 months of a 23-month sentence in federal prison.

    Would you want Vick on your team?

    No.

    We didn't let "Shoeless" Joe Jackson back in baseball. We won't put Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame. Why should be we let someone who participated in an activity that caused death to participate in sports? I have lost all respect for the Eagles concerning the move to sign Vick.

    IMO, it depends on results. If he produces on the field and keeps his nose clean, he might be a great addition.

    But if he even blinks the wrong way, the media and fans and protesters will let him and the organization really have it.
