Questioning the bounds of good taste, the New York Post came up with another doozy of a backpage headline and photo illustration in Monday's edition after the Eagles shocked the Giants and the Big Apple with a 38-31 comeback victory on Sunday.

There is no need for further explanation. Here it is. Discuss.

    How is this any different then when the Daily News posted something to the effect of 'who let the dogs out' when the Birds signed Vick. Both papers are tabloid oriented and need to sell papers in order to fuel Gonzo's drug habit.

    just making sure everyone remembers this is a person who enjoyed the torture and murder of helpless animals. Keep cheering for this scumbag because he's a good football player.

    So, what is your take on Rothliesberger...or Brett Myers......rapist and woman beater....far worse than anything you can do to a dog..........The man did his time, lost everythig and is doing the right things on and off the field...you sound like one of those people who just won't let something go...I bet you still hold grudges over something that was done to you my mommy or daddy, huh? Let it go......for your own sake.......

    Oh yeah. Poor Vick "Lost Everything". Makes him sound like he was the victim, not the perpetrator. And now he wants the court to rescind one of the conditions of his release and let him OWN a dog?

    Yes, I know he's a great football player, and I won't deny him that.

    As far as him "doing the right things on and off the field" - well, he's supposed to be doing the right things. He gets paid to do the right things on the field, and quite handsomely, I might add. As far as off the field, he's doing what he agreed to do by the court's requirements - nothing more.

    He has not straight out "Manned Up" to say he personally committed malicious, cruel and atrocious acts. Taking ownership of all of one's actions - good and bad - is part of being a responsible adult. He's admitted to funding the dogfighting operation, not continues to deny the allegations of actually being involved.

    Forgiveness is something to be earned, not just given.

    Vick's prowess on the football field has absolutely nothing to do with earning forgiveness for repeatedly smashing dogs into the ground, breaking their backs, hooking them up to car batteries to be electrocuted, strung up to die a slow death by hanging until asphyxiated, drowned and so forth.

    I'm sure that some fans will question whether I hold grudges for my parent's actions when I was a kid, and whether I serve any purpose on earth, etc. So here's the answer. I've forgiven my parents for most of their actions, and for those I haven't "forgiven" them, at least I understand the reasons and we've moved past. And for serving a purpose on earth? I'm no saint, but I do my part. I work and am therefore self-supporting. I teach and volunteer in my spare time, including rehabbing supposedly unadoptable dogs - one of which went on to earn the Canine Good Citizen certification from the American Kennel Club.

    He ain't the first alleged scumbag I have rooted for, and he probably won't be the last. And right now, he is my FAVORITE one. At least he can be one and still have a positive effect on a community, as well as play football. What purpose do you serve on earth, birdsfaninnc? I mean besides getting on true Eagles fans nerves? So basically that makes YOU a worthless scumbag. Go figure. Go Mike Vick!!!

    Very well said. You can act anyway you want as long as you can throw a football.

    I'm not a football fan. But Vick only did time for BANKROLLING the fighting. He STILL has not done time for the actual crimes of dogfighting, abusing animals, etc. Most people just don't realize that.

    Nothing wrong with the cover. Vick is a good football player. And he is a pos dog-killing felon. Both can be, and are, true.
