NEW YORK – Michael Vick has been conditionally reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Vick can participate without delay 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.

He has paid his debt to society. Unlike others in the NFL who are worshiped after they have committed worse crimes.

at least he went to jail like he was supposed to....I think he's a total creep and have always disliked him, but at least he did his time.....

think of how many run around having raped, beaten their wives or girlfriends, etc...how many are dosing up with drugs ....

I hate the crime Vick did, but there are worse things that people get away with....

If the ‘skins sign him I will box up all my Redskins stuff, fill the remaining room in the box with dog doo and mail it to Dan Snyder.

[Roklok]

The Raiders will take him. What’s one more thug to them?

[pnh102]

The NFL officially condones the vicious and barbaric practice of dog fighting.

[razorback-bert]

Popcorn, I need popcorn.

[airborne]

After going 0-16, Detroit has nothing to lose by signing Vick.

And it's not like protesters will be able to burn down the city ...

(a small portion of sarcasm)

Can Pete still play?

[vortigern]

The greedy bastards have no shame.

[Kakaze]

If Vick is free, he is free to be hired and build a life.......but no one is or will be forced to employ him or support him.

[TitansAFC]

I’ll take him.

He’s an improvement over anything on our roster right now......

[DogBarkTree]

Personally, I hope some dog loving defensive lineman puts him in a wheelchair.

[OldNavyVet]

“Pete Rose should be put in the Baseball Hall of fame!”

I agree!

By the way, who is Michael Vick?

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

It’s always about Money....who cares about right or wrong.

I can agree with you for once. Any person that fights dogs for sport......At the very least should not be allowed in the NFL and I'll leave it at that.

[Sans-Culotte]

Yup. He did the time,, will still have to do community service so.. he will be motivated.

If he ends up on any team I follow, I will follow them no more. I don't care if he did time. He didn't just make a mistake, or commit a crime of passion. he systematically tortured animals and took sadistic pleasure from it. Doing time does not change what's inside someone.

[Perdogg]

Does the NFL condone vehicular man slaughter?

Does the NFL condone death by concert of action?

Why is dogfighting more of a crime than crimes against..people?

[PhiKapMom]

Vick served his time and I would love to see him put the Farve rumors at an end as well.

Actually, Vick being signed by Detriot may even be worse that the actual prison sentence!
