Vick Signing Still Making Waves In Philadelphia

Now that Michael Vick has explained himself to a national TV audience on "60 Minutes," he must turn his focus to an Eagles fanbase that is deeply divided over his signing. Vick practiced with his new team for the first time Saturday, just one day after around 50 protestors gathered at his introductory news conference. And while he shows signs of his old self on the field, his performance does little to assuage some fans, who are quick to protest by selling their tickets online. Other fans respond by protesting the team's sponsors. However, the early returns from sales of Vick's No. 7 jersey indicate many Eagles fans are willing to overlook his past transgressions and welcome him to the team. Meanwhile, Eagles Owner Jeffrey Lurie is roundly praised for his candid explanation of the signing, as he was "never more eloquent" than in describing the difficult decision.
