If you put a comma after his first name, Ed Block would be an easy-to-command offensive lineman

wow why to this loser? there are allot more players on that team that should win this. Mcnabb or Westbrook. I dont understand on how his teammates voted this for him. They must have been high or drunk when they did this. Everything Vick came back from was all his fault. Give to to a player that is coming back from something that they didnt cause. No one should feel sorry for this loser. Vick should win the scumbag of the year. And as a team the Eagles should win the same thing

Are you phucking kidding me???You tell me that there is no one- no one on that 55 man roster that actaully does something?? Mc nabb for one. Sportsmanship and courage my a$$. He is contrite because his a$$ got humbled. How contrite would he have been if he had been found not guilty. I have no fondness for PETA but this reeks. The players voted unanimosly for this? Sad day indeed.

You morons in Philly are out of your minds! Giving this scum an award? The only award he should get comes out of the barrel of a gun.

I’m glad he’s managed to keep himself out of trouble and do some good within the Philly community but I do agree that the award should go to someone else. Go Eagles!

When did they lower the standards?

Under the circumstances it would seem that the Eagles are thumbing their collective noses at public opnion. By standing up for Vick theyare saying, "It’s all right."

Yeah,it’s real corageous to electocute a dog if it doesn’t fight or if you lost money while betting on it.Get real!!!!

I bet, right this minute, Vick’s wondering if he could get two reindeer to fight if he starved and tormented them long enough.
"I gotta go to motherf***king Finland to get a reindeer? Don’t them motherf***ers fly??"
