Michael Vick is ready to help stop dogfighting

Michael Vick, the one-time superstar quarterback, was put to prison two years ago for involvement in dogfighting rings. After serving 18-month prison sentence, he was determined to change for good. And the first step was to be involved into humane groups and help stop dogfighting.

That was what he said he wanted to do on Tuesday at a Washington church. Being signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as a reserve, Vick began to take part in anti-dogfighting activities, such as the one held at Covenant Baptist Church and sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States.

Vick made an appearance at the church and spoke out against dogfighting. He called dogfighting "pointless" and said he did not know why he began funding and providing housing areas for the group, regretting the decisions that led to his conviction and 18-month prison sentence. Vick has been working with the animal group since his release from prison.

Giants installed the Wildcat offense after Eagles signed Vick

Half day after the Philadelphia Eagles signed with disgraced quarterback Michael Vick, the New York Giants were practicing with the Wildcat offense, which they knew their rival team the Eagles would also use this season.

But Coach Tom Coughlin insisted that the two events were not related, and they used the trendy offense because they knew some opponents would use the Wildcat against them this season. It was not a special preparation for Eagles’ version of Wildcat, in which Vick would possibly play a role in his new eagles jersey.

As for the news that the Vick was signed by the Eagles, the Giants did not seem to be surprised. Actually some Giants players were happy to see Vick get a second chance to play in the NFL after he served 18 months of sentence in federal prison for conspiracy and running a dogfighting operation.
