Let Vick Play!!!!!

Michael Vick should be allowed to continue playing football. He met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell last week to discuss possible "conditional" reinstatement as early as this upcoming season.

A possible suspension at the beginning of the season is up to the commissioner, but if he is allowed to play, I would take whatever I could get if I were Vick, considering that many (if not ALL) of the GM's in the league are concerned with the ramifications of taking Vick are. I would take a 3rd-string job to start off with.

He has served his 23-month federal prison sentence and home confinement and has lost millions of dollars in salary and endorsements. As long as he shows remorse for breaking the law and the conduct policy, he should be allowed to play.

There have been several instances where players have dealt with legal problems (Pacman Jones, Plaxico Burress, Tank Johnson, Donté Stallworth) and some others that are continuing to play in the NFL.

I know that dog fighting is against the law, but he has served his time and should be able to go back to "work" (his career is football). There is at least one team that can use him on their roster as either a QB or runningback, because he is good at both positions. Some one she take a chance and invest in him for the sake of their team because he is the only quarterback in NFL history to rush for over 1,000 yards during the regular season.

And while I am on the subject, why did it take so long for ESPN and all of the other sports media world to report on Ben Roethlisberger's rape allegations but Micheal Vick was "breaking news"??? I know that Ben is the NFL's "golden child" as he should be with 2 SuperBowl rings in 5 years...but DANG!!!!! I'm just saying...
