Article by Chris Chase at Yahoo! Sports:

"According to the Philadelphia Eagles players, the most courageous man on the team in 2009 was one who started the year serving time in prison for an act of extreme cowardice."

4. LOL
The really funny part is that he was actually named "Player of the Year". He was a player, all right.

7. What money? Vick wasn't into dogfighting for the money.
He was into it because he is a thug and he wanted street cred.

8. I really don't care.
"Then why post"

That's an excellent question... guess I was just clicking on threads mindlessly and then, upon reading this, though about how lame I think it is that people are still bringing up Vick.

10. Seems that the players who voted
have confused courage with chutzpah.
