Want to buy a customized Michael Vick Eagles jersey for your dog? NFL says okay ... for $39.99

What's next, a Donte Stallworth beer koozie?

If you own a dog and a twisted sense of humor, the NFL is ready and willing to help turn your four-legged friend into a Michael Vick fan for the small fee of $39.99 plus tax and shipping.

That's the price you'll pay for the "custom pet jersey" selling on the NFL's Web site at NFLshop.com, where a Daily News reporter placed an order Wednesday for a Philadelphia Eagles dog jersey, size large, with the No. 7 and the name "VICK" on the back.

At the NFL, that's business as usual.

"Like any other player, (customers) can obtain that name and that jersey if they wish," league spokesman Greg Aiello said. "As far as putting it on the dog product, he's working with humane societies, working to educate others on this issue, so we don't see a problem."

I'm sure there are more tasteless things in the world, but this ranks right up there :)

Can't wait to see Vick with a pitbull/rotty clamped firmly to his ass...............

The Eagles are on my sh*t list too for hiring the jerk.

"(H)e's working with humane societies, working to educate others on this issue, so we don't see a problem." The POS should have to give half his salary for the rest of his life to groups that help abused and neglected animals.

Apparently the Daily News customized it themselves....

I'm the very last person to defend Vick, but the jersey is meant to be customized with the name and number of your choice.

Vick is sick. Anyone who orders that jersey is sick too.
