Michael Vick reinstated into the NFL today! YES!!!

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/27/michael.vick/index.html

He is suspened for the first 5 games though of the 09 season

He served his time so I'm fine with him being able to play again, I respect him as a player. I still have no respect for him as a person however, never will.

good player = good player

I can't stand him.

Why would anyone sign him? He probably will never make starter.

Can't wait to watch him fail hard.

He was never a good player anyway, and I don't see why any team would sign him. Maybe he can play backup? Vick had his chance on and off the field and blew it.limpbizkit818

He was never a good player? Are you out of your mind?

Anyways. This is good. Fighting dogs isn't all that big of an offence. Donte Stallworth killed a man while drunk driving and he got 30 days in prison...

I wish they'd have banned him. When is the NFL going to wise up and stop giving second chances to all these bad apples in the sport.

I hope someone really hits him hard this season.xTheExploited

From a business perspective; Considering the whole dogfighting conviction, team owners would most likely think that Vick would not be a good influence on their team's image which could then possibly lead to less fans buying tickets and, consequently, making the team lose money.

He hasn't taken a snap in almost 3 years. He was never more than a mediocre passer. He's almost 30 - an old man by NFL standards, and downright ancient for what was basically a glorified runningback.

He'll be lucky to a get a league-minimum contract.

This. If any team starts Vick, they're going to be far from the playoffs.

He could prob be a good punt retuner or maybe a special wildcat package

They should take a cue from the NFL and make only part of a player's money guaranteed. They **** up and they lose whatever else they had coming. That should help keep most potential 'roid users from trying it.elblanquito_81

MLB players do forfeit their salaries during suspensions.

corwinn01

nobody can

I don't see the point of another suspension he did his time..

Don't even get me started on that. While running a dog-fighting ring, killing someone while driving drunk, or bringing a loaded gun into a nightclub and shooting yourself in the lega aren't really on the same scale as using PEDs, they still show a complete disregard for the integrity of the game for their own selfish needs. MLB shouldn't even stop at banning. They should take a cue from the NFL and make only part of a player's money guaranteed. They **** up and they lose whatever else they had coming. That should help keep most potential 'roid users from trying it. What sickens me is that guys like A-Rod can continue playing, even after being caught cheating (because that's what it is) and yet that fool Bud Selig refuses to reinstate Pete Rose. A guy who's only crime was betting on the sport, nothing more. It's ridiculous.

deserved...team should pick him upchAzN93

[QUOTE="MoonMarvel"] They should lose more for doing something that doesn't harm anyone but themselves? Do you feel the same about all drug addicts?ethanpaige

if he is sincerely sorry then i do believe that reinstating him into the NFL was the right move by roger

Manny Ramirez lost $7.4 million. Just exactly how much more do you think he should lose?

Sorry to see the comissioner lost his backbone over this. Vick was a marginal player, is a terrible person and now he gets to play football? Let him go work construction or at Wal-Mart because I will not watch one NFL game now that he's back. I hope the suffering he gave to those animals is returned to him 100 times over in the afterlife.

Oh, please. Tell us you were already boycotting the league due to Leonard Little before sharing your indignation.
