Looks like it's time to resurrect a two-year old thread....

Sources: Roger Goodell might suspend Michael Vick for first four games of 2009 NFL season - ESPN

I hope the Commish suspends him for another year at least. And by the way who goes through bankruptcy and still drives a range rover. Crime pays and the best crooks wear ties.

I think he has already paid for his crime and should be allowed to work, and if what he does is play football or is a stock broker and can find someone to hire him he should be allowed to. If Goddel were fair he would allow him back in the NFL, just like Ray Lewis, Pac Man Jones and some of the other thugs with run ins with the law. I don't like it, but it is what it is.

Agreed, and I would like to see him in black and gold, in the wildcat with Reggie Bush. Awesome.

I am not really that into football...NFL, that is. However, I understand he is the fastest quarterback in the NFL. From what I have heard regarding where his head is on dog fighting, etc, it appears at first glance he has felt remorse and is going to be speaking out against dog fighting.

His story could be one of admiration to children, etc. I think he should play. Atlanta thinks he should play, but I am pretty sure it won't be at the Dome Home.

One does not "lose" everything in bankruptcy. there are exemptions and vehicles are one of them. It doesn't matter if it is Rolls or a Chevette. As long as he can make the payments or it is already paid for and doesn't max out his exemptions, it is his to drive.

I never had an affinity for Vick, even before the dog fighting situation. But I have to say, I belive he should be allowed to play and we'll see if a team wants to have him, knowing there may be some negative feedback by people who are adamant in there feelings towards animal cruelty.

But seriously, and I am a dog lover, the guy has had some serious reprercussions as a result of his wrong doings. He will never escape or live down what he has done. I'd like to see him have the opportunity to play again. Maybe he can offer a percentage of his income to the SPCA or other animal oriented organization as a peace offering. I know it is, in a way, a shallow offering, but it would help.

On ESPN today they said that he has a strong arm, yet has never thrown that straight. Because he has been out for a while, even though he is 29, he will be out of shape as compared to his heyday. Bottom line: no Great Expectations for Vick from those talking heads.

Woof-woof!

Sports skill doesn't make up for being a criminal or torturing and killing animals.

I don't think Vick deserves to get any special treatment and I'd love it if the various other sports criminals also got pink slips.
