Michael Vick was a relatively talented quarterback, but those talents never came close to his ability to lay waste to everything he touches.  The Eagles might have had their first hint of the Curse of Michael Vick today.

During what should have been an easy route of the North Carolina Panthers, McNabb was hit (late by most accounts) and broke some ribs.  He will probably miss at least one game and possibly more, opening the door for Michael Vick to not only return to NFL after killing dogs for fun for six years and running an illegal gambling ring across multiple states, but return to the NFL possibly as the starting quarterback for the Eagles.

Michael Vick has a long history of spoiling almost everything he touches ranging from deals with corporate sponsors, to the goodwill of fans, to his own career, to his finances, to business deals, to the Falcons, the truth and humanity and more.  All victims of what could be described as the Curse of Michael Vick.

He comes in with promises and a smile and walks away leaving a spoiled wasteland of business plans and sports dreams.  McNabb didn’t even last through the opening game of the season before the Curse of Michael Vick struck in the form of a late hit.  We really don’t want to see anyone hurt and have mentioned that many times.  We don’t want to see any harm come to Michael Vick nor any of his poor team mates thrown into the locker room with a relatively psycho dog killer, but if we can’t appeal to Roger Goodell to do the right thing, and if The Eagles as an organization won’t listen, it looks like they might just end up stuck with the bad luck that Michael Vick is able to conjure up.  If Michael Vick had been a pitcher and not a quarter back, you can sure bet that the superstitious Red Sox would have never picked up this problem waiting to happen.

* Note we don’t really believe in superstition, nor in curses for that matter, we’ll leave that for the Scooby Doo plot lines.  We do think that Michael Vick spoils every thing he touches as evidenced by everything he has ever done almost.  With that in mind in 80 years if people look back on decades of loosing Eagles football seasons they might be able to say that we said it first.
