Michael Vick Reinstated?!!

Okay, so here I go again. I'm kind of on the back side of the fence with this one. There is no doubt that Michael Vick was one hell of a runner [quarterback], but what the hell is everyone thinking?! For those of you who may not remember, this man ran a dogfighting ring for a profit!! He and three other men participated in the killing of dogs that did not perform well in test fights by shooting, hanging, drowning or slamming them into the ground. What sick s.o.b. does that to an animal?!! I just don't see how the NFL can even consider reinstating him!! What the hell was Roger Goodell thinking when he made that decision?! Vick may have been a talent, but how do you let something like that slide?

I know many will disagree with me by saying that he paid his dues. What about the dead dogs? Do they not count because they are already dead?! There are some things in life you can let slide and it is acceptable, but this, this is definitely not acceptable. What kind of message is the NFL sending out to our younger generation? I mean, come on...these guys are supposed to be role models!! Sounds like somebody needs to get a clue!!
