Good. He paid his dues. Take him, Vikes and put these torturous Favre rumors out of their misery.

The NBA and NFL have become thug leagues.

Every person is entitled to redemtion. Vic paid his dues, has apparently seen his life turned around. If he’s still got an arm, I say give the guy a shot.

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

He’d fit right in with the Vikes, both as part of a running regime and all the other miscreants they have had and have there these days..:-)

Washington, Oakland, Buffalo, Cleveland, St Louis, Miami, Jacksonville, Kansas City and New England are all considered possible teams.

Nah, the Bengals. Our “redeemer/owner” Mikey-boy Brown will sign him. Sigh.

It looks like a 4 game suspension or so if things go right so he could actually play in october per article.

Good.

Unlike some other felons currently playing in the NFL, Mr. Vick actually served a prison sentence and has, as they say, “paid his debt to society”. A

And, since his chosen profession was not and is not related to the crimes for which he was convicted, there is no reason he should not be allowed to resume it.

The American legal system cared about right and wrong, that’s why Vick went to jail.
