Vick will attend Week One game as spectator

Posted by Mike Florio on September 9, 2009 4:35 PM ET

When the Eagles played their first preseason game with Mike Vick on the roster, we reported that Vick wasn't taken to Indianapolis because the team didn't want to expose Vick to a potentially hostile reaction in another team's venue.

We were shouted down by folks who claimed that Vick was staying home simply because it's coach Andy Reid's longstanding policy to not bring to road games players who aren't eligible to play in the game.

So, of course, for the team's first regular-season road game, Vick will be traveling to Carolina, despite the fact that he's not allowed to play in the game. And despite Reid's hard and fast, no exceptions rule.

"Michael will travel this week," coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. "Michael will travel."

Since he's suspended for the first two games of the season, Vick won't be permitted to join the team on the sidelines.

In our view, Vick is making the trip to Charlotte primarily because the reaction to him hasn't been nearly as negative as many thought it would be. And if the Eagles believed in August that the reaction to him wouldn't have been negative in Indianapolis, Vick would have been there, too.

Regardless of Reid's rule.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. flame away

No one in the stadium will even see him, and neither will anyone at home, unless they put him on TV in whichever box he's sitting in.

you better believe that cameras are going to be on the look out for him and when he is it's gonna show up on the screen.

someone is going to find him.

in olden times you would just look for the only guy in the owners box wearing a doo rag, but apparently he's changed his ways.

I'm really happy they've let him back in the leauge and given him a second chance, i really hope the fans find him and give him a good heckling (hopefully they're not led out of the stadium!).

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
