 Personal feelings for Michael Vick aside, this signing by the Eagles created more buzz than perhaps any other moment this year.  Did you happen to sign into Facebook that night?  For most Philadelphians, their entire homepage was dominated with comments (both positive and negative) about Vick.  Twitter?  Same thing.  Philly papers?  Well, they were less than kind.  See the Daily News' headline from the next day:

The most shocking element of this signing?  The Eagles had a quarterback.  They had a running quarterback.  They had a backup quarterback!

So why sign Vick?

This question still hasn't really been answered.  While Vick has played well of late, his presence seems to throw the offense out of their rhythm.  Add that, to the fact that Vick has brought a myriad distractions, and the signing hardly seems worth it.

On the other hand, he has been a model citizen since he's been here.  No rapid decrease in Philly's dog population, a key player decoy in our "Wildcat" formation, and he even won the Eagles Courage Award (aww).  

Regardless of opinion, or outcome, the signing of Michael Vick certainly created a ripple effect around the Delaware Valley, and is deserved of a top spot on our list.
