nbcsports.com - Though the Eagles didn’t have a chance to make news on the field Sunday tonight, they made some more news off the field.
Peter King of NBC reported during Football Night in America that President Barack Obama recently called Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie to congratulate the team for giving quarterback Mike Vick a second chance.
President Obama explained that a level playing field rarely exists for prisoners who have completed their sentences. Vick’s success gives all of them hope.
In our view, Obama’s gesture also provides Vick with the kind of positive reinforcement that will help keep him out of any trouble during the 2011 off season, once he is left to his own devices.

I do not believe the President should have made the call to congratulate the Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie. Does anyone believe if the Eagles were now 3-12 or if Vick was a white player Obama would have called him?
In my opinion Michael Vick should not have been allowed to ever again play in the NFL.
I cannot stand to hear of any animal being mistreated. The relationship between a dog or cat and their human care giver is something special.
My cat and dog have passed away and I can say without any doubt, that what they gave me the entire time we were together can only be described as love.
For Vick to exploit such a bond, to torture and kill those who only wanted to treat him with affection is unforgivable.
