McNabb supports Vick; Skins tight end rips Philly
Daily News staff
Donovan McNabb took to his Yardbarker blog to offer his support for Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson and former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who was released from prison today and will serve the rest of his sentence confined to his Virginia home. McNabb titled the post, "My Thoughts on a Couple of Friends."
My thoughts and prayers go out to Jim Johnson as he battles through another round of chemotherapy to deal with cancer. Jim is one of the toughest men I’ve come across and although he has a tough battle ahead, no one is going to fight harder.
I am happy that Michael Vick has served his time and will now be afforded the opportunity to move on with his life. I’m sure he will continue to be remorseful and will learn from his experiences. Hopefully he will have the opportunity to continue his dream of playing professional football.

Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley is nothing if not outspoken.
SI: What's your least favorite city to visit? Chris Cooley: Philly. I really don't like Philly. I got a cheesesteak the first time I went there, but other than that, there's just nothing exciting about Philly. SI: Which city has the most rabid fans? Chris Cooley: Philly. We got eggs thrown at our bus when we came into town last season. *

Yo Panthro - dominating? Mike Vick? One of the all-time overrated QBs? Some idiot owner will no doubt take a shot (Al Davis?) but I wouldn't want him even without the barbarianism. Pure evil.— steelydad- Bobw needs a pill.— steelydad
- I hope when Washington is done with him they trade him to Dallas so he can continue to recieve a warm welcome here.Panthro22 well said.— boltfan
Comment removed.- Comment removed.
- "Wait until Michael Vick gets back and starts dominating again" well, not gonna hold my breath on that one, hate to bust your bubble panthro but that ain't happening in this lifetime!!!— FireChief
- Why would we want players on other teams to enjoy coming to Philly? We're supposed to make their lives miserable, that's part of being a fan of your team. The less they like to play in Philly the better.— ChrisInVT
- Bob - No one brings up the Craiglist killer, except you, because it's not sports related. Vick is a sports figure...this is the sports page. Are you smart enough to figure that out? Didnt think so.— jacksondog
- Vick dominated the NFL? Glad you revealed that because I would have never known it watching him play.— billro3
- Bob - take a deep breath - now exhale slowly. Feel better? Maybe you need to take up another hobby, besides posting angry diatribes. You know, as a outlet? How about taking in a nice peaceful baseball game? No, never mind, I guess that wouldn't work for you either.— jefgov
- He really didn't say anything bad. I would hate Philly too if I had not been born here and had to travel to play the eagles.— nmr82
- vice 2010 baby!!! don't hate.— coachbarnes10
- isnt this the same guy that "accidentally" took a naked picture of himself and put it on his blog?— beeron
- How bout the Playoffs are they exciting....oh wait you wouldnt know Cooley— JUsi134
- Cooley is a good player and apparently a straight shooter. No prob with his comments. He's better than LJ Smith was. Go Birds! Philly has the best, most rabid fans! I'm sure the tightly run Skins have a curfew on their team when they travel to Philly. ;)
