You probably heard: Michael Vick is back in the National Football leauge with the Eagles. So many people are hounding him. PETA is pissed. Eagles fans are pissed. My question is WHY?

Let me ask you this: If you made a wrong choice (and I know you have) and you got caught, and did your time like a good American, wouldn’t you want the chance to prove yourself again in your career field? I know I would.

I am not saying the Vick did was wrong. It was horrific. BUT he did his time and never once tried to Paris Hilton his way out of it. LET HIM PLAY!

Vick as some strict rules on what he can and can’t do during the season per Roger Goodell. I personally, I think 2 years in prison has hindered his ability to play the game. Athletes at that level need to stay sharp all the time. A little drop in performance will make a HUGE difference.  I don’t think he will be the same M. Vick, nor anywhere close. But I like that the Eagles are giving him the chance to prove me, and the rest of the doubters, wrong.

Stay off Vick. Let him play. Let him prove himself. Once he fails, then ridicule his ability to play the game, not for what he did in the past. The past is done, over, el fin. Look forward to him as a football player and start critiquing that. I am not a professional analyst, but I know if I were, talking about his past is NOT MY JOB. Your job as an analysis (talking to you ESPN, ABC sports and MSN) is to ANALYSIS the game and the moves. So please, don’t talk about his past. Or if you don’t think he should play. Or if you agree with PETA. Talk about Vick’s inability to throw a football. Or the fact that he will not be able to outrun Shawn Merriman. But talk about football, PLEASE!

Michael Vick agreed to pay the Falcons 6.5 million dollars for the 2 years that he missed while in prision on Federal Dog Fighting charges. Vick, due out in about a month, is hopefully to play in the NFL again. NFL commissioner Roger Godel will review the situation when Vick gets out of prison. Vick has been suspended indefinetly. Vick paying the money most likely indicates the Falcons will release him.

Here is my opinion: What Michael Vick did was in no way right, moral or OK. However, he has served his time-like any other criminal that has caused a crime. He should be allowed to play in the NFL again, purely on the principle. However, I also think IF he gets back in, he will NEVER be the player that he used to be. IN fact, the only reason he will get picked up is because of the press coverage. Not becuase he is Michael Vick-one of the best quarterbacks of all time.

That is my opinion-What is yours? Do you think Vick should play in the NFL? Will he be GOOD enough to play again?
