Congratulations.. Vol. Michael Vick

[blaz3n]

He was re-instated to the NFL today.

Excerpt:

NEW YORK -- Michael Vick is back in the NFL. Now all he needs is a team to play for.

Vick, free after serving 18 months in prison for running a dogfighting ring, was reinstated with conditions by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday. He could participate in regular-season games as early as October.

Vick can immediately take part in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and can play in the final two preseason games -- if he can find a team that will sign him. A number of teams have already said they would not.

Sal Paolantonio says the wording for Michael Vick's return gives the commissioner a lot of latitude on when to fully reinstate him. How many teams are interested?

Once the season begins, Vick may participate in all team activities except games, and Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 (Oct. 18-19) at the latest.

According to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, a source close to Vick expressed "shock" over the severity of Vick's punishment and said Vick will reapply for full reinstatement as early as Week 1.

Goodell suspended Vick indefinitely in August 2007 after the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback admitted bankrolling a dogfighting operation on his property in Virginia. At the time, Goodell said Vick must show remorse before he would consider reinstating him.

"I accept that you are sincere when you say that you want to, and will, turn your life around, and that you intend to be a positive role model for others," Goodell said in his letter to Vick. "I am prepared to offer you that opportunity. Whether you succeed is entirely in your hands."

The media "hyped" up this thing into something that wasn't even serious.

People kill animals for sport, but when Vick does it.. he most be prosecuted and sent to jail..

But, then again that's a different conversation.

On topic:
Where do you think he will end up?

So you call drowning dogs for not living up to his standards and sending "bait" dogs to their deaths "not that serious"?

On Topic:
Like I said previously, I'll take him in Denver.

 

[God]

this dumb negro went through all of this cause he thought making animals fight against each other was a good idea. Football was gettin the bills paid? why isRon Mexico shocked at the severity of his punishment?

I don't condone his behavior either, but I think he was treated to harshly.

If he went to the bills with T.O. that would be crazy!
