    You really need to do a story on Winston Justice. That guy has quietly been a rock on a very unsteady offensive line.

    I think the question is has M. Vick adequately served his time? Was the NFL and the Eagle in too much of a rush to put what happened under the rug, as if it doesn't matter anymore. What happened, you ask? Among other things, M. Vick and co-horts threw live dogs into pools that they then electrocuted. Electrocuted. To his day, dog claw scratches still remain on the side of the pool as the electrocuting dogs tried to save themselves. Now, you ask me: has M. Vick served his time? Shouldn't he be in a half-way house now instead of the house of the great American past-time. What does this say about Philadelphia and the NFL? Very, very, very disappointed in the Eagles.

    Stacy Andrews should not be leading the team in penalties when he is on the field less than everyone else. Horrible

    Yes, Tony, he served his time. Take Dierte's advice.
