Morning Headlines: Michael Vick signs with Eagles


Most mornings, we'll lead off the day with some AM headlines -- but not your traditional ones. Rather we'll focus on one game or story and write headlines that are completely inconsequential and insignificant to the outcome of the game. We'll give a few examples and then you'll play in the comments. Best headline (read: the one that makes us laugh the hardest) will get a shoutout in this space the next day. We'll provide the box score for the game as that can lend itself to plenty of content. Let's have some fun. The more insignificant, the better!


Yesterday's winner: John with this juicy nugget: "Samardzija strikes out on 3 pitches in only at bat, has 0 receiving yards."

[Vick signs with Philadelphia].

-Second-year option key to Vick's deal with Eagles

-McNabb: "This is Michael Vick's team"

-Kolb to fight for No. 2 QB job with former Falcon

Vick's back in the league! Some Vick banter in the comments, please.

Vick joins Eagles in time for dog days of August.

Eagles dogged by questions after signing Vick.

Reid: Vick is a dogged competitor.

Eagles gain leg up in dog-eat-dog NFC East.

Word is that his codename for play-calling will be "K9."

Eagles won't let him wear his most recent uniform number because 340983722 won't fit on the jersey.

The Eagles finally have a player who can tame the Dog Pound in Cleveland.

It's not sure what Vick's role will be with the team but you can bet he won't be dog-sitting the regular players' dogs when they travel for away games.

Vick told Andy Reid he wants no special treatment: "Look, coach, treat me like everyone else so don't throw me any bones at practice."

Yes, I realize these comments are doggerel in nature.
