He should be treated the same way any NON athlete would be. I would love to see his resume fly anywhere but the NFL..so at this point when I see the Eagles, (my husband is still a fan), I only wish them ill..that's no way to enjoy football. :(..

We probably beat this to death a year ago when the Eagles first signed Vick, but what exactly does he have to do to pay his dues? He went to jail for two years. Should it have been more? I know PETA people want him dead, but that's kinda ridiculous.
The guy was an NFL player. After serving his time, he deserved another shot at that career. Anyone who did what he did would get another shot at their old career, don't you think? Problem is that Vick is in the public eye. The regular guy isn't and would be forgotten about.
And for the record, as I have always maintained, I wish the Eagles didn't sign him because I don't think he's a great QB. Great athlete? Yes. Great QB? No. But maybe he'll have a better work ethic than he did in Atlanta and actually study the game rather than rely on his natural talent.

I hear you Dax, but I don't believe that if he were in another profession that he would be reinstated and have his job back. I guess I am angry because the Eagles had no problem picking up that piece of trash, but let some real quality players go..haha I am still mad over Dawk.. >:(

He didn't get his job back. He got fired, did time in the slammer and once he'd paid his debt he got a different job (at far less $ though he'll still get by). We hate him for what he did and you can despise him still but his sentence was served and IMO its ok he's being given a second chance at his profession.

I waited 2 weeks to say what I expected to say in the preseason, My NFL season for 2010 is over, I refuse to waste even one more nice fall Sunday on the Browns. After watching the Buckeyes on Saturday, my Sundays will be free till the Superbowl.

I took the same stance with Carolina. The pre-season was bad. All practices were bad. The one "potential" saving grace was (supposedly) that the defense was practicing well...NOPE. Two quick losses and we are also done for the season (one loss in conference but it was by a LOT this weekend). I have Panthers flags and gear but will likely only wear it to wash my car when the weather starts turning chilly...eventually.
