So PhillySteve, what you're saying is Philly fans are just like fans in every city, we have a great level of acceptance for a player on our team. SHOCKER! Let me guess, you're President of the Department of the Obvious.— amg- Right, he's calling you all hypocrites and you're acknowledging that he's correct in that you're all hypocrites. — birdsfaninnc

- Philly_Mike, Brady doesn't have weapons?? And what does the team defense have to do with it? He has a better o-line in front of him too.— usandsix
- So Brady was voted Prom Queen. Big deal. Fan voting is a popularity contest. Who needs it?— txflyer
- Thanks, Tough Juice, if thats true the conversation is already over!!!— Lyrra
Comment removed.- The voting is fixed.Some white guy who likes Tom Brady for MVP added 300,00 votes to the total so in hopes of changing peoples minds about the MVP race. The thinking is, hey if we Tom Brady look like he won the popular vote then people will think to vote him for MVP. MIKE VICK FOR MVP BABY! RUSHING AND PASSING STATS COMBINED. COMEBACK STORY. SINGLE-HANDEDLY WILLED THE EAGLES BACK TO VICTORY (MIRACLE AT THE NEW MEADOWLANDS). MASSACRE AT WASHINGTON ,6 TOUCHDOWNS. YES HATERS, ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO WONT LOOK UP TO VICK BECAUSE HES BLACK, TAKE IT UP THE ARSE!!— DonovanMcNabb
The real question here is where did Donovan McNabb finish in voting? We need him to get to the Pro Bowl in order to take a 3rd Rd pick from Washington rather than a 4th.
Vick will make the Pro Bowl but hopefully he doesn't play because he is in the Super Bowl!!!
I just wrote an article on how popular Mike Vick is right now on my site SKOHRboard. Check it out if you're interested.
http://www.skohrboard.com/2010/12/mike-vick-is-super-popular-right-now.html— Skohr- MOST PEOPLE ARE FANS OF THIS GREAT TEAM AND SO ARE OF FOOTBALL, I AM A TRUE FAN OF BOTH. SO IF YOU HATE VICK THEN YOU HATE GOD, ISN'T HE THE ONE WHO CREATED VICK'S SECOND CHANCE. PHILLY SLEEVE AND BIRDSFANNY SIT ON YOUR COMPUTER THEN YOUR FINGERS SO THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMMENT WHEN HE LEADS THE EAGLES IN AND OUT OF THE TUNNEL FOR THE SUPERBOWL....................— DEEP34
- I see the NY fans are still signing and crying the same old tune about Vick and his defunct dog fight involvement. They seem to overlook the fact the win streak is 6 in a row, so McNabb did his damage to your G-ants too. It's not all Mike's fault you can no longer sleep at night. Even if the G-ants finally manage a win on the Eagles in the playoffs, we still have Cliff Lee and NY does not. Great to be in Philly!— dapmman
- The fan vote is only 1 piece... Player and Coach voted have heavier weighting towards final outcome. Anyhow, as already noted, players elected to ProBowl who are scheduled to play in Superbowl will not participate in the all-star scrimage.— John Westport, CT
- I'm impressed that Owen finished 2nd in the pro bowl voting...He quietly having a solid year..— docboy
Those votes Brady got at the end is crazy bs. PETA must have been busy making sure Vick wasn't number 1.
