Michael Vick was showered with admiration Thursday night in his Philadelphia Eagles debut. Not beer and batteries from bashed louts a la above Dallas drillmaster Jimmy Johnson. Not blimp animals, as one anti-Vick band had contemplated.
Eagles admirers — a bearish lot that already pelted Santa Claus with snowballs — gave Vick a Rocky Balboa-type acceptable whenever he played in a 33-32 preseason win adjoin Jacksonville. The pregame protests accepted because of Vick's above-mentioned captivation in dog angry fizzled as well.
"I didn't anticipate it would be that positive," Vick said of the army acknowledgment during his postgame account conference. "I was actual pleased."
About the alone affair that could accept gone bigger was Philadelphia's achievement with Vick both in and out of the huddle.
Like with Brett Favre in Minnesota, amalgam Vick into the Eagles breach will yield time. After spending the accomplished two seasons out of football, Vick said he is alone "70 percent" of the three-time Pro Bowl amateur he already was. Vick didn't alpha practicing with the Eagles until 12 canicule earlier.
