Here is my thing. He received punishment within the law. If we do not like the punishment the law dishes out, then we are the ones that are responsible for getting the punishment for that crime changed.

Calling for a punishment that is more strict for one person, but not another who committed the same crime would be akin to violating his eighth amendment rights.

He is not going to be given anything back. I believe that he is going to have to work twice as hard as before to get the "golden life" back.
I like the idea of second chances, benefit of the doubt and understanding, forgiveness, so on and so forth and I like the idea that they should be earned even more.

When Vick was being accused of his crimes, and even after he was indicted, he kept claiming he was innocent. It was only when it became clear he would never win a trial and that he would serve less time in jail did he finally say he was guilty. I never got the impression that he was actually sorry or even understood how bad his crimes really were.

None the less I'm sure he'll get his chance to play.
