No seriously, I'm not one to take warnings from cars, but objects in your mirror are closer than they appear. Not to say Vick is gonna step onto the field and get back into his 2006 form, but still nobody knows what this man's condition is looking like. For all you know, he could have been training "The Longest Yard"-style while in jail and be just as good as ever. Can you say quarterback controversy? You can, but not until Week 6, when Vick has the chance to be reinstated. That means that if by the Eagles 5th game, you've gone on one of your chronic fuck-up seasons, Vick might be shaking off the rust. Donovan, you might not have enough Campbell's Chunky Soup to give you the strength to hold off the most electrifying player to step on a football field. Even if Vick doesn't touch the field, let's hope we don't see more tomfoolery like this from the Eagles:
