one of the dogs rescued from michael vick's bad news kennels. what was georgia like when you came in contact with her? >> well, larry, georgia's come a long way. you know, when i first met her she could pretty much care less for humans. she had a laundry list of issues. behavior issues we had to overcome for her to get to this point where you see her now today. now she's a great spokes model for the breed and show people these dogs do deserve a second chance and can be rehabilitated. >> larry: she was forced to breed? >> correct. we're not sure of the dog's history for the most part. georgia is the dog with where the scars tell the tale. when we got her, from head to tail, she was covered in scars. she had been forcibly bred, overbred several times. the poor girl was traumatized, definitely tormented for a majority of her life. now that the past is behind her and she's a very happy dog, in fact, we get to go very fun places and she absolutely enjoys cameras and loves to be the true diva she is. >> larry: she has no teeth? >> no, she doesn't. the

michael vick back in the nfl getting a lot of e-mails. this one coming to us from barbara in greensboro, north carolina. here's what she says. "second chances should be earned not handed out like lollipop. do people legally think that one day michael vick thinks away working together to combat dogfighting, the problem of dogfighting in philadelphia and nationwide. steven, you know, you and i stalked about this as this story was simmering that i think his career should be tied to real long-term work with the humane society and from that, it seems like that's the case. will that quiet the critics somehow? >> it won't immediately, but i think over time, as he proves to be diligent in his efforts with the humane society to curb the issue of animal cruelty and to address that head-on, i think it's going to work wonders for him. the one thing i'd like to add, i think people need to be very careful about michael vick was convicted of a felony, financing a dogfighting ring. let's judge him according to that. let's not think that all of a sudden w

the redskins could turn out to be michael vick's first opponent.is eligible for reinstatement in week 6. they come in on a monday night no less. jim zorn today talked about dealing with michael vick. >> he is going to be very difficult. i think that it will be interesting to see how he works into the eagles. unfortunately he is in our division. i think a guy like that is going to be so fired up. i'm excited that he is able to start progressing back in. >> preseason football tonight. former ravens deep coordinator rex ryan now the head coach of the jets hosting the rams. turning into a not so simple 78- yard touchdown. mark sanchez started for the jets and went 3 for 4, 88 yards. >>> terps playing their first insta quad skimmage of intrasquad. chris turner anointed as the undisputed leader of the maryland offense. not because he has a rad throw but because he completed 57% of his passes last year threw 13 touchdowns and now has become a leader. >> i see little things i did in the past. making sure you got in. so he is helping everybody out around hi

michael vick said he was not going to be nervous for this game. and he didn't look very nervous. head coach andy reed did not make him wait long. on the second play of the game, vick enters the game. you can see it looked like almost a standing ovation from the crowd. in the shotgun he pitches, a little shovel pass with sean mccoy. that's a four-yard gain. he was 4 for 4 for 19 yards in the game. vick ran once for a 1-yard gain. thiss probably his best pass right here. looking like michael vick of old. let's go to michael vick live now at the podium. >> how many snaps a game do you envision you might take part in? are you okay with being a roll guy, a play here play there guy? >> i want to help this football team win, whatever i have to do. so i have the capacity. i want to be able to make plays and say that i contribute and i helped this football team reach that one common goal, and that's winning at the end of the day and hopefully winning a championship. so, you know, i'm just humbled and want to sit back and learn as much as i can and polish my skills as a quarterback. >> that

after dozens of teams passed on michael vick, tonight the philadelphia eagles said dwroe michael vick. his agent confirming that the former falcons has signed a two-year contract to join the eagles. he would serve as a backup to pro bowl qb donovan mcnabb and somehow this for a catch. his first week of eligibility would be week six. the eagles play the redskins in week seven on a monday night national tv at fedex field. you want to see a circus, brace yourself for that game. meanwhile as for this game here in baltimore tonight, not a whole lot of good news on either side of the ball for the redskins starter. never got across the 50-yard line. the defense played for two series. they gave up a 13-play drive and they a 14-play drive. joe flaco the sophomore was in for the first quarter of baltimore. he picked apart the skins to the deed of 9-1003 yards. that led to a field go. 3-0 ravens. jason campbell was in for two drievz for the red skindz. -- drivers for the redskins. not bad. this was his best effort. but the drive stalled. campbell 3-6. 38 yards before he got pulled. the ravens wo

much harder on a guy like michael vick.n this country, we love a redemption story more than anything. i think he may be fairly surprisingly well received. >> isn't this something wrong though about backing down harder on a guy who is on animal charges ban a guy who accidentally killed a person? >> i agree completely. i don't think -- i don't think that dogfighting should be illegal. i think it's horrible. i think it's immoral. >> but you don't think it should be illegal? >> that's a whole other issue. >> another show. >> i am a strong believer in -- >> animals and small children. >> individual rights. >> this is a. animals and small children. >> guys, here's the thing, let me tell you a secret if you all talk at the same time, the viewers can't understand. please stop doing it. go ahead, julie. >> well, all i will say is i'm sorry but i do have a dog who is like a child to me. but that's not even the point. >> then take care of it. >> i have taken care of it. have you seen what these dogs look like when michael vick was don

i don't know, michael vick might be more concerned about the fact that his career was hurt than dogs ick: i don't... i mean, football don't even matter. you know, i mean, that's... >> brown: losing a $135 million contract doesn't matter? >> vick: it don't matter. it don't matter. i deserve to lose that because of what i was doing. >> brown: you deserve to lose it? >> vick: yeah, i deserve to lose it. i deserve to lose the $130 million. why would a guy who was making a $130 million and, you know, on the flip side, you know, killing dogs or doing the wrong things, why would... you know, he don't... he don't deserve it. >> brown: we met michael vick in virginia; he wasn't allowed to cross state lines without permission from his probation officer. he was accompanied by two men: former nfl coach tony dungy, who has been asked by nfl commissioner roger goodell to mentor vick, and someone you might never expect-- wayne pacelle, president of the humane society of the united states. why would you put your reputation on the line in working with michael vick? >> tony dungy: i've visited a lot of

ron allen with the very latest on michael vick's return. st night's interview? >> i think reaction to the signing of vick last week was pretty split. the fans are torn and if it skews one way or another based on talk radio and on newspapers and radios, it is slightly negative against the eagles signing him. of course, the crime that he committed and the other part of it is that the eagles are a championship team and they have an established quarterback in donovan mcnabb and a lot of fans don't understand why the eagles need michael vick. he brings a new dimension to their offense and help them win, perhaps. he's been out of football for a couple years, but the risk reward, some people don't quite see it and this is an unfold process that is just beginning and there are some animal rights organizations that they'll put billboard along the road leading up to the eagles stadium and some protests going on online and also online you can buy michael vick's jerseys for $245. it's cutting a lot of ways. again, this is the beginning of a long process

now that michael vick is the backup, you best believe the minute done advantage van mcnabb struggles,e people who said get vick out of town will say please put him in the game. that's philadelphia. >> andy reid, the coach of the philadelphia eagles, no stranger to problems. his sons have had run-ins with the law and drugs. did that play in addition to donovan mcnabb, into the decision for the eagles to bring michael vick on, or this was all about football? >> it absolutely had an effect. andy spoke at length about that last night. the eagle has a preseason game against the patriots, a preseason opener, and andy brought that subject up after the game which is very unusual for him. it's been a few years now since his sons ran into their difficulties with drugs and being arrested, and it's not a subject he willingly addresses very often with the media but he brought it up and talked about second chances and redemption, and clearly we learned today that he was the person who initiated all of this with the eagles. i said a little while ago, nobody in philadelphia was really thinking about

michael vick has paid his debt. more importantly, his new coach andy reid thinks so too. >> we give people an opportunity. as long as they've taken the right steps, they're given an opportunity. and that's what -- again, that's what makes this country such a great thing. and the national football league such a great thing. >> i want to know what you think. are you ready to give michael vick a second chance? "a" for yes, "b" for know to 622639. joining me, stephen a. smith, journalist and commentator. how big of a chance, how big of a risk, are the eagles taking on him, stephen? >> first of all, i personally don't think it's a big risk because he's already paid his debt to society. 18 months in a federal penitentiary. 23 months in prison. you're going to have animal rights activists outside of the stadium, especially when they go on the road. it's going to be some negative publici publicity. bottom line is any publicity is good publicity. people are still going to be patronizing your product. combine that with the fa

in the end there was market for michael vick. the situation turned out that vick once he heard the eagles were interested, that was a team he wanted to go to. we don't know how the fit will be strategically, but at least from the standpoint of his support, the eagles are there and it's a good organization with a good coach and a friend in donovan mcnabb. >> good point, john. all right. so how do you see the eagles using him on the field? >> well, that's the baffling part because andy reid loves to pass the ball, and so to go into some running sets with michael vick, that's a little bit curious. it doesn't fit what andy likes to do, so even the wildcat formation now takes donovan mcnabb out of the passing game. i guess what it comes down to, there will be a lot of creativity. i don't think he's going to be used at wide receiver on an extended basis. maybe some plays at running back. it's kind of interesting. mcnabb and vick in the same back field? that could be something to watch. overall the creativity will maybe get him on the fi

verizon small business toolbox. >>> now abc 2 news at 5:30. >> he served his time, and we now know michael vickt another chance to play in the nfl. good evening, everybody. i'm terry owens. but as expected, the decision to put vick back on the field has some people furious. but one fan, who lives in south baltimore, says this is the day vick has waited for. abc 2 news sheryl connor has react from a man who knew vick long before he was an nfl quarterback. >> everybody has their opinions. >> reporter: james body would only speak to us through the screen door of his cherry hill home. as michael vick's paternal grandfather, this is the day he has anticipated. >> i'm overjoyed. i'm overjoyed. this is nothing. this is private. this is family. i've been waiting for this for two years. >> reporter: body watched as his grandson spoke in a news conference, saying he is remorseful. the philadelphia eagles gave vick a one-year deal, reportedly a $1.6 million contract, just after he served an 18-month federal prison sentence for running a dog- fighting ring. >> making conscious efforts in the community to w

his crime sparked angry protests. >> sack michael vick! >> reporter: the nfl suspended him indefinitely. a humiliating fall for a star quarterback once the league's highest paid player. >> i committed an act that was cruel and it was unethical, it was, you know, inhumane, and you know so i understand to a certain degree. but, you know our country is a country of second chances. you know, i paid my debt to society. >> reporter: today some of vick's most vocal critics are not buying it. >> i don't think he should have been signed. i think remorse is a process not just words. you come out, you served your time, you go into the community d you show with deeds that you are truly sorry. >> michael vick has a $1 million contract but still not allowed to play in official games. the nfl commissioner will decide when he can take the field with the eagles several weeks from now. after the regular season begins. meanwhile, football fans have strong feelings on both sides. >> he is not the monster that everybody makes him out to be. >> just didn't like

michael vick had to to say after being reinstated this week. as you can imagine, the last two years have given me time to re-evaluate my life, matured as an individual and fully understand the terrible mistakes i've made in the past and what kind of life i must lead moving forward. people talk about suggesting things like working, volunteer be at an animal shelter. is that the kind of thing he's got to do to rehabilitate his image? >> let me be clear here. let's play hardball. i like to hit the issues hard. the reality is whatever michael vick did, our society has required him to do certain things to demonstrate his contrition and to essentially express his remorse. that is in terms of the penalty that was assessed. michael vick has completely and fully complied with the requirements of his sentence and just like the rest of us, in all of america and all of these different areas, whether it be a wall street executive who continued to give moneys to bonuses, even when it's taxpayer bailouts, whether it is baseball steroid players who continue to
