The Worst Acquisitions of the Summer

You thought it couldn't get any worse. Pedro Martinez to the Phillies. The Yankee killer back in the MLB. His first day back he's casting spells on the Yankees and injuring Derek Jeter's foot. Oh well, spells only go so far and we don't play the Phillies again this year. Then the single most exciting player in the NFL returns, and to one of our division rivals no less.



Mike Vick will be a member of the Eagles for the 2009-2010 season at least. I could criticize Vick's poor decision making and choices of his past all day. But that was then and this is now. He's done his time and seems like a different person who's sorry for his decisions.



The two years in jail more than punished him. But let's face facts, this guy was THE MOST EXCITING player in the NFL. He changed games with a single play. He made the defense wonder what just happened. He was like something we had never seen before and most likely won't see again.



I had forgotten about Michael Vick and his exploits. He was amazing. But this mix reminded me. Have you ever seen something like 2:47-2:50.

I don't doubt that Michael Vick can still play. He gets the chance also. The Eagles backup are well, backups and Donovan McNabb is injury prone. For those fans of the Yankees and Giants, like me, we are in the paths of the returns of possibly the two most exciting and intriguing athletes in their respective sports.
