Good move to keep him. He is a decent player and a quality enforcer/energy guy.

The Saga Continues: Michael Vick Is On State Lockdown
The annoying and ridiculous saga of the lastest Michael Vick incident takes a curious turn. Vick is now unable to cross state lines. Oh and remember, Training Camp starts in two weeks.
This whole situation does not pass the smell test...
At first Vick was not a person of interest, now authorities seem more interested as new developments spill out.
I don't want to rehash the story because we all have heard it already. Bottom line is Vick was more involved than let on. If Quantis Phillips would cooperate with police, things may be very different for Vick and his piece of shit younger brother.
To add to the fun, Vick skipped out on a golf tournament and a kids football camp this past weekend with a 2am notice. He then lied about a Sunday meeting with the Eagles as an excuse. Nice job dude...
Vick is a real piece of trash. I despise that he wears The Green. He is only sorry because he got caught. The Eagles need to suck it up and cut his ass. He certainly does not deserve a third and fourth chance. The Eagles are probably waiting for the NFL to make their move, but I don't care. Jeffrey Lurie vehemently said last year at an emotional press conference Vick would receive zero tolerance and no extra chances.
Game... set... match right??

Spain Beats Netherlands To Win 2010 World Cup 1 - 0 On Late Goal From Iniesta
The 2010 World Cup final was a let down. Spain won the Cup for the first time in their country's history and beat a Netherlands team that got to the finals on lucky bounces and excellent goaltending throughout the tournament.
The Netherlands played a gritty but undisciplined game earning close to 10 yellow cards and who finally went a man down via red card around the 108th minute. Team Espana, who spent most of the game grabbing their hammies and flailing about, was the better team on the pitch today and scored a late goal (117 min.) by some guy who I don't quite remember his name.
Rest assured it sounds spanish.
Robben, the bald-headed, 26-but-looks-36 jester from the Netherlands played his agitator role nauseatingly well and was the player for his team to miss the most chances.
He had what may be considered two breakaways and came up empty-footed. He won't sleep well tonight.
The goalkeeper for the Netherlands, Steklinberg (or however the hell you spell his name), was the best player on the field today. Poised and confident, Steklinberg controlled his penalty area well. He got a hand on the winning goal but it wasn't enough.
Alexi Lalas said regarding of this "pig in lipstick" kind of game, "if you can't have the best team win in a beautiful way at least have the best team win. And they did".
I highly recommend you find the replay of the runners-up game between Germany and Uruguay. That was a much better game. . .
The last thought I'll share for what may turn in to quite a while about the US soccer team is theis:
If there is one thing the US did better than any other team I watched play in this World Cup is that they don't play like pussies.
There's no other way to say it.
They don't go down easy. They don't play dirty. They don't always play consistently, but they don't play like pussies.
And for that, I think the US represented ourselves better than maybe any team in the 2010 Cup.
And I guess Spain did ok too.
Ill see you all in 2014 for the next World Cup.
