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.

And the national felon league continues... unbelievable.
No leadership by people in power in this nation anymore, none in government, none in business.
Time to contact Southwest Airlines and Bud to let them know they will not be in future buying plans as long as Vick is in the NFL. I little sponsor boycott will cause the Commish to take another look at when he can play.
I’m so sick of hearing about what Mike Vick did to those dogs.
What about what the dogs may have done to Mike Vick, huh? He’s too much a gentleman to talk about a canine without them being there to defend themselves, so we don’t know the background.
What if he had a big game the next day and the dogs were howling all night?
What if he was trying to learn some new additions to the playbook and the dogs wouldn’t quit playing around in the kitchen, knocking the water bowl all around?
What if he had a whole lot of money on a dog and the dog scratched three times resulting in a heart breaking loss.
There’s a lot of different scenarios that could have unfolded, and I for one doff my hat to him for not talking out of turn.
Yeah I can see big O at the Washington games talking to Vick. Good grief!
As a Chiefs fan, I feel the same way. I've been a psychotic Chiefs fan since 1970. Been through some lean times in those years and have always been loyal, with no patience for fair weather fans.
But, if the Chiefs sign him, I will stuff my Chiefs gear in the closet, cancel my NFL Sunday Ticket, cancel my trip to see them in Arrowhead this year, and refuse to buy any Chiefs gear or watch any games until he is released. I will cease to be a fan as long as that sicko is on the team.
Yeah, he paid his debt through jail time. But, this was no one time mistake; it reveals a deep and repulsive character flaw that wasn't washed away by some prison time.
Ha Ha!! Please, take him! Take him!
Glad we got rid of him. Now we have a passing game!
It’s hard to describe the pomp and circumstance, the pageantry that surrounds a dog fight. Walking through the streets of North Philadelphia, the broken glass crunching under your feet, the frenzied dogs barking and spewing saliva in the back seats of cars, the smell of marijuana wafting through the air. It excites all the senses.
There’s nothing in this world like seeing a couple of pure bred, well trained, athletically gifted dogs rip each others flesh, the sinewy muscles torn to shreds. I remember once a Pit bull locked on to the leg of a Staffordshire bull terrier and actually snapped the humerus. The audible sound of that break and the accompanying roar of the crowd still gives me goose bumps.
Dog fighting is enjoyed throughout the world spanning so many cultures. Japan, Russia, Latin America, Pakistan, China, Afghanistan (in fact, the revival of dog fighting following the fall of The Taliban is the greatest, most unreported accomplishment of our brave fighting men and women), and even the United Kingdom all have vibrant, active dog fighting scenes.
Again, maybe we’ll have to agree to disagree, but it’s a matter of personal taste. I really would recommend folks attending a dog fight (there are several events scheduled for tomorrow night in my neighborhood, and probably your's too) before you turn your nose up at this wonderful sport.
Yep, total cave in to thugs. I think I’m finished watching NFL games. Gave up basketbrawl years ago.
Any team that takes him is on my s-—list.
He may have be cleared with the legal system but never with me. He couldn’t do enough time to satisfy me.
My two cents is he did the time for his crime and if somebody wants to sign him the league should allow it.

I'm with you. I am a fanatic about the Patriots, but if they were to sign this vile thug I would never watch them or buy any of their merchandise again.
The Dolphins just signed Pat White from WV.He will be great in the wildcat.I could see Vick going to the Raiders .Someone will take him or will they?
According to the analyst on the NFL Channel. They all seem to believe N.E. is looking at Vick. I was shocked by it too. Since that seems like the last spot NE needs to be concerned with.
One did it on purpose, for thrills because he enjoyed the suffering of other living beings. It is the fiber of his being that is rotten.
The other did it while under the influence of alcohol, by accident. His judgement is seriously flawed. What millions-earning moron doesn’t think to take a cab?
Does one of these seem worse to you than the other? I hope so.
Michael has been a good economy stimulator.Spend,spend,spend.
No, I don't think your read the article close enough, it said Pro football, Browns don't qualify...
You know the saying, "If it's Brown, flush it down..."
Vick will get picked up. No doubt about that... Just a matter of who..
