Vick: Season Dedicated To Garrett

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael VickMichael Vick admits he was somewhat surprised.

Three days after Andy Reid found out his son had died, and 24 hours after laying him to rest, the Eagles head coach was back on the practice fields at Lehigh.

“I was a bit surprised, but everybody is entitled to what they want to do, and how they feel,” Vick said. “We don’t know what he’s feeling or his means of dealing with certain things. Everybody deals with situations differently.”

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Antonio Dixon.Things have been going just a little bit too smoothly here at Birds 24/7.

Without further ado, I’m up first.
