Michael Vick: Welcome to Philadelphia

Ok I know I was to blog about the Young Money America's Most Wanted Music festival that I attended two weeks, which was by far the best concert I have ever went to, but Drake retore is ACL as he was starting Best I Ever Had and it was disappointing but to sum it all up real quick, it was great and cant wait to see Lil Wayne/or Drake again.

Now my real time to blog. Yes, Im inspired again and boy is it controversial. One of my favorite athletes is now in the midnight green. Philadelphia pulled a fast one over everyone in signing recently release from prison Michael Vick to a potential two year contract, depending on the club option on the second year. I never envisioned Vick in an Eagle uniform, even when he became available. Now its fair to still have questions and concerns but first reaction and still is a feeling of Oh my God! Michael Vick is an Eagle and I cant wait to get his jersey, even if everything doesn't go well, just to have him as a part of this team is absolutely insane. I honestly have liked Vick since his days at Virgina Tech. Quickly I will discuss how I got to this blog, but it may not be so quick. Most people know but to recap, Michael Vick was indicted of criminal charges dealing with a dog fighting scandal that was true and Vick was sentenced to 23 months in jail. Trust me, I do feel his actions were disgusting and inappropriate, but I never gave up on him. After being released in July NFL commish Roger Goddell granted Vick with conditional reinstatement in the league and by week six Vick will know if he is permenatly back in the NFL. But many teams would not come forward in showing interest in Vick. Up to a couple of days it seemed like Michael would not play a down in the NFL in 2009 and that would have really upset me because I feel he deserves a second chance, he is remorseful and I feel he really has changed for the better, he pretty much spent two years in jail. I fully support Michael Vick joining the Philadelphia Eagles. So as the excitement took place tonight I updated my facebook status saying " Favorite player is finally an Eagle, gonna acquire my third Vick jersey tonight!" Now I am very excited, I cant take my eyes off the TV when this guy plays, I love his ability, so I was hoping I could watch him in the NFL but even better I can watch him play for my absolute all time favorite team. So I didn't think what I am going to tell you next would happen. My Uncle uses facebook and him and his girlfriend absolutely hate Vick because of what he did and I believe they were never fans of him anyway. At this point this is totally fair. But when I arrived to my humble abode a little earlier this evening after the news I looked at my page and saw a comment about my status. My uncle said: "what the f**k is wrong with you! do you have any idea what that piece of shit did to animals? i thought you were a better person than that, guess i was wrong". Im fine with someone disagreeing with me and maybe have stated their opinion (even though I beleive if you dont have anything nice to say, then dont say it at all, not to be corny but its true.) To say I'm a bad person for liking someone that made some bad decisions and paid for it and being that this is about a football player it really disappoints me because I'm his nephew. This is only the beginning but this is what is going to continue to take place for only God knows how long with many people. I am sorry if I offended people with my opinion but I am not sorry for my opinion, maybe I shouldn't have advertised it, but sorry for being excited because one of my favorite athletes is on my favorite team. Many discussions have already been had and I always respect the opinions of others but it makes me angry when people cross the line and feel it is acceptable.

My final thoughts are that I am Ecstatic that Michael Vick will be playing football but I am disappointed with how some people are treating the situation.

To my followers, Have a Very Vicktastic Day!
