It is clear that Donovan McNabb lobbied for Michael Vick to join the Philadelphia Eagles and I don’t think the move would have been made without McNabb’s blessing.  While I was listening to NFL Radio on Sirius XM, the radio hosts were saying how McNabb is just being an “organization man” by going through with the move and that he should be upset with the Vick signing. Those bozos should read McNabb’s latest blog where he talks about the Vick signing.  They even said McNabb should be upset that Vick is taking 5 snaps away from him. Are you serious?  You think McNabb will be upset that Vick is taking away 5 snaps if it gives his team a better chance to win?  Do your homework you bush-leaguers.

Here is an excerpt from McNabb’s blog:

Michael and I have known each other since the time I was asked to host him on his visit to Syracuse University. During that time, I had a chance to get to know Michael pretty well. And, although he decided to go to Virginia Tech, we kept in touch and remained friends.

I believe Michael is a changed person and that he deserves a chance at putting his life back together. In mid-July before training camp started, I asked Coach Reid if we would be interested in having Michael join the Eagles and explained why I thought it would be good for both Michael and the team.

I wanted Michael to come to Philadelphia and, in any way he can, help bring a Super Bowl championship to the City. There is no doubt he is a uniquely talented player that can add to our offensive weapons. I thank Andy for considering my suggestion.

There you have it, McNabb really did lobby for Michael Vick and I commend him for that. McNabb is a true friend and it really shows you the type of character he has. You can read the full blog here.
