The only Eagles jerseys I have that I paid for is my collection of Donovan McNabb ones (green, white and black so's I can usually match up). I think I have a T.O. jersey that's too small floating around that I got for Christmas just before the Eagles went to the Super Bowl (i.e. - pre-meltdown), but that's about it.

The biggest question for me is why? It's not that I think Vick is wholly undeserving of his chance for redemption as I'm growing rather weary of our drift to "once a scumbag, always a scumbag" attitude in the US, but I just don't see where it makes football sense. As I remarked to Shadow last night, there has to be a plan there. They're not taking the PR hit and paying him that much money to have him ride the pine all year long. He's not going to be the starting QB, #5 is the man there. He's not going to play RB, because Vick was made of paper when he played and the NFC East hits like real men when you have the ball, not the sissy pillow-fights that the NFC South has during run plays...so that's out. He's far too small to be a tight-end and why would you have him be a receiver when you already have too many veterans?

Seems like a rather heavy price to pay for a Wildcat specialist, even if he is a better Wildcat-er than anyone else in the league.
