Akers Away from the Super Bowl

After Reid blamed Akers for the Green Bay loss last year, even as he knew of his child’s illness, I wonder if this will be the final sin that would burn our organization’s soul. Meaning, we will become the Dallas Cowboys of 2010-11.

Michael Vick’s situation is not unique and brings to light an essential topic that should be addressed, especially for many of the public who are hammering the Philadelphia Eagles for making a grievous error in judgment by hiring an ex-felon. For a safe and better country, America needs to accept and help ex-prisoners adjust and succeed in their society by providing good paying jobs and promoting an environment of support and acceptance for true rehabilitation.
