This is a really tough topic to discuss because it is not an easy question to answer. On the one hand you have one of the most freakish athletes the sport has ever seen and on the other you have a cruel dog killing villain. I know he has paid his debt to society, but is what he did forgivable? What he did is not the same as some of the other violations, such as failing drug tests or even drug possession, that have resulted in league suspensions as of late. This is worse than Plaxico shooting himself in the leg and I even believe it is worse than Adam "Pacman" Jones' stripper nightclub shootings. (Both just standard Friday nights for anyone in America) No, this is much worse and I will tell you why. Both Plax and Pacman did not go out those nights with the intent to shoot anyone (especially themselves) but Vick, over an extended period of time, was repeatedly and knowingly murdering innocent animals for the sake of a few dollars. I guess his 10-year, $130 million contract extension that guaranteed him an NFL-record at the time $37 million in bonuses was just not enough. That's what makes it especially confusing. What he was doing it for was the cruel intention of watching these dogs kill each other, the money could not have possibly had any influence on him, right? I guess we will never know. But even with all that being said, with the recent emergence of the wildcat offenses it would be quite a sight to see the best combination of passer and runner the NFL has ever seen part of it. It will be interesting to see how things turn out in Philly. Hopefully next year they will play the Cleveland Browns. How do you think he would feel playing in one of the most hostile NFL environments nicknamed the "Dog Pound"?
