Michael Vick's Possible Return to NFL

[rabernet]

Since this is football themed, I've moved this to Jerhart's World of Football!

As to how I personally feel about Vick returning to the NFL as a die hard Atlanta Falcons fan who felt very betrayed by Vick - I don't like it.

However, the Commissioner is going to have a hard time defending NOT allowing him to play when you look at the criminal records of SOME of the players currently playing, and Vick could conceivably sue on those grounds.

I forget who I was listening to on a sports show one day - I was really only half listening, and I don't really know many players outside of the Falcons, but there's one player who killed a young mother in a DUI accident who's an active player. To me, that's a pretty heinous crime as well.

They should make him a water boy for a few years making minimum wage.

Hes a good player, I believe he will be back. Like the other person said, hes even with the law. Yes he did wrong, he served his time. Which ever team he goes to will be put into the spot light which can be a great thing if played right. Ticket sales can go up, merchandise sales can go up.

Why should a scumbag thug get to come back and continue making millions? He is garbage...

It's football, it's not like he's running for public office.

I think he should be allowed to play again the guy did his time and lost millions. I think he's an idiot but I love watching him play football.

As far as that goes, Vick was my favorite player, up until he got arrested for what he did. To me vick is trash as far as a person goes.

As far as an athlete? He is a great athlete.

As far as getting picked up? He won't have a huge contract like he had before because of him getting in trouble, he wont make the kind of money like he was making before.

As far as a QB, he honestly isn't that great at all. He is fast, and he can scramble, that only lasts in the NFL for so much time then injuries. After that he really has nothing.

I really don't get this statement. If you're a piece of garbage, criminal, animal abuser why does it matter what your profession is?

This is all I need to know about Vick:

"Vick pleaded guilty after his three co-defendants had already done so. They told of how Vick participated in the killing of dogs that didn’t perform well in test fights by shooting, hanging, drowning or slamming them to the ground."

Alright now that he has been partially reinstated the guessing game begins. What team will sign him? These are the teams I came up with.


Redskins
Buccaneers
Panthers
49ers
Broncos
