[quote=UCGal]Disclaimer – my husband is a lifelong “Iggles” fan, and a Philly native. I’m a non-sports person, but lived in the Philly metro area for 9 years.
I think it will be interesting to watch. Especially interesting to see how much the Philadelphia fans boo the crap out of him. Philly fans are notoriously rude – even to their own team. (I used to go to Flyers games fairly regularly – I’ve witnessed it.) If a set of fans and player deserve each other – this is it… It won’t be fun for Vick unless he plays phenomenally.[/quote]
They are also notoriously closed-minded. I spend my life there (age 9-22).
It was inevitable that he would play again. As a birds fan, Im glad to see him on our sidelines as opposed to the Gmen, Boys or Skins. He has talent that is undeniable. He is not a pure pocket passer, but his completion %, td to int % is not far off from Mcnabb and his winning % is only 6% worse than mcnabb and he never had the supporting cast that Dmac has had. I hope they concentrate on his pocket passing and catching skills (they should shoot tennis balls at him as a drill).
What he did was disgusting and wrong but this philly fan has moved on. The rest of the fan base should too. Life is too short to dwell on shit but clearly most people back there havent ever learned that rule in life.
