Eagles QB Vick was proved to be innocent

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick will report for the team’s training camp on time and play his backup role for starter Kevin Kolb just as scheduled, because the league announced that investigation resulted in no evidence of Vick shooting at his 30th birthday party. A lot of speculations were ended by the announcement, and Vick will stay with the Eagles for one another season, neither to be released nor to be traded.

Now we may have a look back on how Vick got involved into the trouble. He went to a restaurant in Virginia Beach to celebrate his 30th birthday with a group of friends in Brett Favre jerseys and allegedly left the scene before a shooting happened out site the restaurant. What made him more like suspect was that the man in Saints jersey being shot was Vick’s co-defendant in the dogfighting case. The well-known case put Vick in jail for 18 months and led to a long suspension from the NFL.

As local police made it clear that Vick was not the shooter, the quarterback does not have to face any arrest now and the league will neither punish him with a suspension, which was expected by many people when Vick was suspected to be the shooter. The Eagles, who have always been insisting that they would not release Vick, now proved that they were right.

Eagles QB Vick was absent from public celebrations

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has been unavailable to any other public celebrations since the shooting happened after his 30th birthday party last week. While he has not been cleared for being innocent, he seems determined to avoid any more troubles.

According reports, there should have been an “All White” celebration on Sunday in Washington, D.C. and Vick was expected to appear for the even in a No.4 Brett Favre jersey. However, he did not appear and the participants were informed that the party was canceled. Vick has to be careful at the moment, because there have been a lot of reports saying that the Eagles were considering releasing him if he caused more troubles off the field.

It’s hard for Vick to have a job in the league. When he was just released from the prison, no team but the Eagles made the bold move to offer him a contract. Although Vick used to say that he dislikes being a backup role with team, he still chose to stay there because the Eagles could still be the only team that is currently willing to give a job.
