I agree with you on this, except on the part of letting him play again.. Too many people are using this to play ou their little hate fantasies.
I think let him do his time, and then under the watchful eyes of the Humane Society, let him fade into obscurtiy. He has already brought enough shame to the league. And No, he does not have the "Right" to work in the NFL. That is a privelege, one that he has already abused. He will still have 10s of millions to live off of when he gets out. If he needs a job, he can pick up the want ad like the rest of us. And any other employer canchoose not to hire you or I, if we have a Felony record, so why should Vick be different.
He has done the crime, let him do the time.
And for Petes sake, would somebody report Blondie?!?!? gettimg to the point where just seeing her Avatar makes me ill....... (it worked with Veggie apparantly, cause I noticed her account is gone)
I do have too respectfully disagree with tose who post about second chances, or having "done something stupid". Vick willfully commited, and condoned the torture, mutilation and killing of animals for entertainment. He didn't just attend a fight once. He was a ringleader who knowinlgy engaged in a Felony activity. He does not deserve a second chance. (stupidity is something like not realizing you had too much to drink......still a horrible situation, but not pre-meditated sadism)

Tru Blu, the problem here is going to be Goodell. Everything I have read has led me to believe that he is a hardass. He does not play nice. Vick lied to him face to face. Unless Vick begs Goodelll to reinstate and then shows by actions that he really has learned something, Vick won't be back in the NFL. I would say that there is a better than average chance that this will be solved in court eventually. Vick needs to turn over a whole new leaf if he really wants to play NFL. Joining some animal cruelty organizations would be a start. Forming some inter city anti animal cruelty groups possibly as well might help. Also, doing some spots on television against animal cruelty would help too.
If Vick truly shows remorse and a knowledge of his error, admits it publically, then the public will forgive.
Not overnight, but certainly with a certain number of years.
The fringe on either side of the issue really don't care one way or the other, only that their side is right. Us in the middle, we care about actions.

I think his ability to lead in the NFL is over. Just like the diverse opinions you will find in the public about Vick, you will find that a team of players in the NFL is very diverse and Vicks ability to command leadership within an offensive huddle will be very difficult. Maybe if he played any other position would it be easier for him to return, but when you are the face of the franchise, the leader of all men, they look up to you as an example, and quite frankly if I were in the huddle with him, I'd tell him to go jump because I'd have no respect for him as a man. I am sure he would have many on a team with him that would have the same opinion of him. That undermines a teams ability to win, and lets face it, he wasn't that great a quarterback anyhow.

You know, I don't like how a lot of people are taking this Vick thing. If Vick is guilty, I think he should be banned from the NFL but if he has good conduct, I think they should give him another chance. People that do things illegaly all should be punished, whether they're athletes or not. What he did was unexcusable and he should be punished for it. But people are saying what he did was worse than what anyone else did. People have done worse.

He is only being a man because he has no more avenues of escape. He told lie after lie to the very end. 2-3 years in jail, and no more football is the ONLY justice in this case. I agree that he shouldn't be tortured and killed like some of these PETA fanatics suggest.

He should receive the worst penalty. My animals are little people. They have their own personalities. I'm sure those dogs he killed and tortured had their own personalities too. He should not be allowed back into the NFL. Period.

I'd give him 2 years in the worst prison in America. Let the people there discipline him. Then, let him back into the NFL after he's through there the little (explicite).

I'm sorry. I disagree, not because of the gravity of what he did. But I wouldn't wish that PR nightmare on any team...well maybe the Patriots.

I think it's ridiculous.
This poor dude is getting put through the ringer. Yes he did something stupid but a lot of athletes have done stupider things.
I think it's good he has the sense to plead guilty and own up to what he did. I think he should be allowed back to the NFL.
