I wouldn’t give him a job cleaning up bathrooms at the Chevron station.

He gets $130 million and uses it to torture dogs? What a low-life POS...put him back in jail for life.

He should not be allowed to be near any decent human being!

Vick was always a second-rate QB. Lotta flash, made some big plays, but that’s it. And staying healthy was always a problem for him, as it is for all QBs that look to run before passing. He was touted by many the so-called experts as someone who’d “change the position (of QB) forever.” but non surprisingly that never happened.

Yes. Vick was persectuted by the new castrati in the media. To be sure, I think what he did was sick and twisted, and I’d never do it......but hosting dog fights doesn’t warrant two years in prison and a ruined reputation and means to make a living. Leonard Little killed a man in a drunk driving incident and he served no jail time, and never missed an NFL game.

I’d hire a dog before I hire that trash. A dog’s life is worth far more to me than his.

That doesn’t lessen Vic’s crime. Vic is street crap , a lowlife with a million bucks. Let him go back to the shit hole he came from .

I would not hire him this year that is for sure. I would have to observe him for a few years and then see if he stays out of trouble. I am all for people who do their time and then get back to good graces. It is too soon though.

Depends on what my QB situation looked like.

If I had a couple of journeymen or an unproven rookie starting, yeah, I'd sign Vick in a heartbeat.

He's only 30 years old, no injuries, and is still in good physical shape. Plus he matured in prison. I really see Vick as coming back like Randall Cunningham did with the Vikings.

He’d raise the moral standards of several teams.

So you don’t believe anyone ever gets rehabilitated? You don’t think he’d work harder than anyone else because he appreciates what he has now? Do you really think what he did rises to what other NFL players have been convicted of without any jail time. Nice to know you guys have so much forgiveness in your hearts.

OJ didn’t serve jail time for murder. What of it? Our system isn’t perfect. That doesn’t mean because one man gets away with murder that all those with lesser crimes shouldn’t serve jail time.

Vick deserved what he got. Little deserved more than what he got. OJ deserved punishment for that crime, that he is serving time now doesn’t lesson the lack of judgement for the other.

And where is it written that he can’t make a living outside of the NFL? Who says he has a right to a milion dollar contract. He can make a living in construction, driving a garbage truck or any number of decent paying jobs that average Americans do daily. I see no reason I should have to be in favor of being subjected to seeing this guy cheered on a football field after what he did.
