And the NFL will keep the money instead of donating it to local Humane Societies. Shame.

In the latest sign that the NFL is trying to give Michael Vick another chance, fans can order on NFLShop.com a Philadelphia Eagles dog jersey with Vick's name on the back.

A New York Daily News reporter successfully purchased the "custom pet jersey," making it clear that Vick isn't on the league's list of words and names shoppers cannot use for customized jerseys.

Fans may be worried about the message, but they shouldn't worry about their pets' safety. NFLShop.com says the dog jersey is made of "breathable polyester micromesh fabric and has a stylish and comfort-fitted V-neck cut." "Like any other player, [customers] can obtain that name and that jersey if they wish," league spokesman Greg Aiello told the Daily News. "As far as putting it on the dog product, he's working with humane societies, working to educate others on this issue, so we don't see a problem."

I think it would be more wrong if they didn't allow such a thing.

It's a custom product, its not like the NFL/Eagles are stamping them out with Vick's name on it, even if they were so what, he's been reinstated back into he league, to say he can only market certain things would be hypocritical

      Draft Taylen Green

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      My tailoring green idea was not for him to be the starter but to add some value beyond just a developmental quarterback I think size speed is something Bryce doesn't have he has those and would immediately feel the fourth and one package and possibly red zone and some power packages for us

      Do you have against Willis I believe you're around when we have the draft with corral and Willis were on the board and me personally I was banging the table for Willis as early as round one but a lot of people thought corral was better but it's amazing with a little coaching and time can do with me I always go with potential and upside versus oh the guy just plays football you know sometimes that's not enough

      Would kenyon sadiq fill 2 needs?

      I know or needs and this probably isn't with a lot of people want but if he's available at 19 I don't think you can discount that he would be the best player on the board I think with 43 speed he's as fast as leggette. 63240 something he would stretch the field  Strike fear over the middle of opposing linebackers and also probably cure our long time history of no serviceable tight end since Greg Olsen I think a lot of needs like tackle maybe linebacker could be filled and free agency to the point like they did last year where we fix a lot of this and draft the best player we can on the board.  After his combine and the numbers in the 43-in vertical I'm not sure that he will be available but if he is I bet that he's highly considered what say you
