The Philadelphia Eagles, a team not interested at one point, have given Vick a second chance. The Eagles' coach, Andy Reid, is a respected coach and hopefully this will let everyone know that it is OK to give someone a second chance. PETA will speak out, but they should leave Vick alone since he has paid his debt to society.

They were talking about this during the Titans game on Sunday. I think they should just let him play. He may be not be on the top of the saint list but the dog fighting had nothing to do with football. If i remember correctly other football players have done worse and been back on the field.

One of the things I love about this country is that life is always full of second chances. Dog fighting is deplorable but he paid the price and now he should be allowed to get on with his life. I wouldn't kiss Goodell's ass or anyone's for that matter.

Not at all happy with what he did. He has served his time, though, so he should now be able to do what he wants. I would not support any team that allows him on their team, though, as I have the right to not support him. That would then tell the team owners, management, etc. that Vick shouldn't be playing, as it hurts the team and money endorsements.

First and foremost, what he did and took part in sickens me to the core but the man served his time for his crime. Here in Tennessee a women was given probation and was allowed to keep her kids after shooting her preacher husband point blank. That to me was a major injustice but with Vick I'd say the punishment fit the crime but if he ever took part in dog fighting again I'd say he should be given no more chances.

In regards to the woman, she should have been locked up for a very long time. Maybe lady justice isn't so blind after all.

This is the way I look at it. When someone is trying to get off, a reduced sentence or get parole they should be remorseful. Once you serve your time, you have earned the right to NOT be sorry for what you went to jail for. Sorry isn't a condition of release and Roger Goodell is having too much of a "God complex." He is focusing on Vick as if Vick is the only professional football player with issues.

To me, he is only as good as what he does on Sundays. I don't look to an athlete to be above the pitfalls in life that could get us all. There is nothing that says moral character is part of exceptional athletic skills.
