Eagles soothing ruffled feathers

Time to give the Eagles some credit.

No, not for the way they’ve looked during the preseason. To be honest, I don’t really know what to make of this team. I sometimes think they have
8-8 written all over them. But that’s why games in August don’t count, except for the cost of the tickets.

Instead I am speaking of the Eagles’ pledge to make good on their commitment to local animal rights groups in light of their hugely unpopular decision to sign convicted dog ring operator Michael Vick.

The Eagles held another summit in South Philly Tuesday night. It lasted two and a half hours. Eagles President Joe Banner was among the Birds’
brass in attendance.

Most of the activists came out impressed with the Eagles plan to be pro-active in partnering with community groups.

“A loty of good can come from it and a lot of animals can be saved,”
said Dana Spain, an animal rights activist.

Now if they could just figure out how they’re going to work Vick into their offense without ticking off Donovan McNabb.
