Michael Vick Signs a Contract With the Philadelphia Eagles

Controversial star quarterback Michael Vick has signed an agreement to play with the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick drew national scorn for his role in a dog fighting ring in which he was convicted and served prison time for. Vick was released earlier this summer and his supsension from the NFL was lifted by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Vick will discuss a number of topics on CBS news show 60 Minutes this upcoming weekend.
Vick's contract with the Eagles is reportedly a two year deal. It will be interesting to see where he plays this season on the field as Philly boasts veteran signal caller Donovan McNabb on their roster as well.
Here is some of the remarks he made to 60 Minutes which will air the interview on Sunday:
JAMES BROWN: And the operation, Michael, that you pleaded guilty to bankrolling, to being a part of, engaged in barbarous treatment of the animals-- beating them, shooting them, electrocuting them, drowning them-- horrific things, Michael-- what about the dogs? What about the dogs?
MICHAEL VICK: It's wrong, man…I feel, you know, some tremendous hurt behind what happened. And, you know, I should have took the initiative to stop it all…I didn't-- I didn't step up. I wasn't a leader.
JAMES BROWN: So for the cynics who will say, "You know what? I don't know. Michael Vick might be more concerned about the fact that his career was hurt than dogs were hurt."
MICHAEL VICK: I mean, football don't even matter.
