By Justin Cherot It’s official: Michael Vick is a Philadelphia Eagle. No more speculating about where he’ll end up, or even if he’ll be asked to step in right away into a starting quarterback’s role.

by Colin Donohue Sports photography can bring us the some of the most dramatic, awe-inspiring imagery we’ve ever witnessed.
