1. Hey he served his time. . .

. . .its the right decision.

[Renew Deal]

19. I agree

I know it's not pretty, but he served his time.

[joeglow3]

34. I agree completely.

I am shocked at the number of people here who seem to oppose this. It is almost as if they support people punishing others after they serve their time and debt to society.

[benld74]

2. Sure! Why not? I hope a stray runs onto the practice field and whizzes in his helmet!

[Myrina]

13. Whizzes in his helmet? I hope one takes his face off.

That cruel bastard should be UNDER the jail.

[MissDeeds]

18. + 1

I hope he gets booed off the field.

Edit to add: Furthermore, I hope any franchise that hires him is boycotted.

[awoke_in_2003]

26. I know one team that wouldn't have him...

even if they didn't have a QB- the Steelers are still owned by a class act (just ask Bam Morris)

[montanacowboy]

3. Well Ain't that Just Special

all what is wrong with this country - Michael Vick makes me puke
He is a degenerate human being -

There are no words for the revulsion I have for him and the people who will actually pay money to see his act

[sarcasmo]

32. No more second chances? Did he not serve his time?

[hamsterjill]

4. His first game

So, do you think that any of the opposing players who own dogs might help even the score at the first game?

I've heard several players (not schooled enough in football to remember their names unfortunately) who came out and publicly condemned what Vick had done. I want THOSE guys to be on the field with him.

11. One of the Seahawks formerly played with Vick and has a very much loved yellow Lab

I can't even imagine what he thought about all this, but interestingly, I've never read an interview with any comments from him on Vick.

17. I don't think it's likely.......

but if they bring him to Seattle, I'll never support the Seahawks again!

:puke:

[Missy Vixen]

24. Mora's already said Vick's not coming to Seattle

We don't need the three-ring circus, frankly.

[mullard12ax7]

12. I see visions of a Joe Theisman leg-break video

or a late hit on the sidelines, directly to the head.

[wilt the stilt]

15. love your name

you old tubey. Dynaco rules

[Wapsie B]

5. Why does this not surprise me?

[mbperrin]

6. Quel choc!

Not really, anything that puts money into fatcat team owners' pockets is going to happen.

Most subsidized industry in the country.

[Baclava]

7. Browns need a QB - who let the dogs out? ...woof woof

Let the speculation begin.

[awoke_in_2003]

27. You are talking Cleveland...

that would be "dawgs" :)

[SKKY]

28. How ironic would THAT be??

[byronius]

8. Didn't he kidnap family pets to use as target practice for his fighting dogs?

We're living in Rollerball.

[Missy Vixen]

14. Yes, he did

Question: How many of the passionate Vick supporters would let him dog sit for the weekend?

:crickets:

[proteus_lives]

9. You know what I hope?

That a lot of very large, very angry NFL players are also dog-owners/lovers. And I hope when they see Vick on the field, they step on the gas and go right through him.

[Myrina]

10. Wrong answer.

:mad:

[Politicalboi]

16. Anything for a buck

I hope he feels the wrath of dog lovers everywhere. Somebody should put dog shit in his helmet. LOL!

[Bacchus39]

20. no sympathy for him. but agreed. hopefully he can use his wealth for some positive hobbies now n/t

[happygoluckytoyou]

21. sarah palin spoke on his behalf,.... as a Christian Pitbull, she has forgiven him, so can't u 2

[Thickasabrick]

23. Deep down I bet Sarah gets off on the thought of dog fighting... nt

[Union Yes]

22. The Corporate sports racket has no shame.

[Danmel]

25. No standards at all

Sets a great example, doesnt it? Shame on Roger Goddell and any team that signs Michael Vick- he is nobody's hero.

[TheWatcher]

29. The only thing that is surprising about this is the fact that ANYONE would be surprised by this.

I don't like it anymore than you do, but this is what our country has become.

Are You Not Entertained?

[JeanGrey]

30. My son told me that he'd be reinstated, that how goodyou

play football was more important than "dogs". Sadly, he was right.

[jasi2006]

31. You can beat your wife or woman, kill someone while DUI,

kill someone, be involved in illegal gambling, take illegal drugs and get off scott free. But being a black quarterback (yes, I said it) quaterbacks hold a special standing in this nation... involved in a system that was culturally acceptable until recently, though nasty, involving the mistreatment and killing of dogs while hunters continue to get licenses to kill helpless and harmless animals still, serve time, be denied your professional livelihood and still be maligned by the media and many of the public. It's unreal. I love dogs and have two...but this shit about Vic is insane to me. I value human life much more than my dogs'. Do folks realize that there are places in this world were dogs are eaten? Flame away!

[Coventina]

33. Fail.

Comparing hunting (unless it's purely trophy hunting, and even then it is still hardly comparable) to dogfighting is completely ridiculous.

Your other assertions are also ridiculous. Murder, assault, and the other crimes you listed are illegal and only in isolated cases do people "get away" with stuff. If Michael Vick had killed someone, he would certainly never play in the NFL again. His skin color makes no difference.

[Sub Atomic]

35. If you claim you value human life more than your dogs, I highly doubt you own any dogs.

Run back to whatever shiite hole you crawled out from.
