Should Michael Vick be allowed to play again in the NFL?

I disagree about college baseball. They would have to get rid of the $400-$600 aluminum and titainium bats and swing with real wood. That is the reason most college sluggers lose their batting average when joining the pros.

I understand what you are saying about the 'ping' aspect of pingball, but I think that gripe is a bit overblown. There was a point in the early 2000's where LSU and some other powers were winning games 23-18 etc. and it seemed like whoever has the last at bat would win the game because pitchers couldn't keep ANYBODY in the yard. But that just hasn't been the case for the last 5-6 years. They may have taken some of the 'juice' out of the baseball, I don't know, but pitching is once again the key to winning baseball games.

I had the pleasure of watching Joba Chamberlain's jr and sr seasons at Nebraska and the makeup of the bats used against him didn't really matter much.

Another reason I don't have a problem with the 'ping' is that I grew up in Omaha and have been attending the CWS since i was 2 years old. So as you can imagine, the sound of the aluminum bats that make purists cringe, for me it brings back wonderful memories of my childhood. And the thing I love best about it is that these kids(90% of them won't go to the next level) aren't playing for $$, they are playing for their teammates and their love of the game and when you are sitting in the stands watching them, this fact becomes very apparent.

He will get signed...have you ever seen him play? He will FOR SURE get signed.

Philadelphia Eagles.

I'll have to admit, as the Falcons and the Eagles are two of my teams (when I haven't been disgusted about professional sports), I was disappointed to hear the Eagles pick him up on a one-year try. But the man's done his time, such as it was, and whether he's deserving of it or not, I'm glad to see him get another opportunity to 'play'.

How about,

Should Michael Vick be allowed to own a dog???

[-SEEKING-]

I figured it was only a matter of time before some team picked him up.

Certainly. He says that he has seen the error of his ways...and is repentant. Becoming a responsible dog owner would be a great way for him to display a repentant heart...or maybe he could volunteer for his local humane society or shelter for abused/neglected animals.

Though I was always impressed with his athletic ability I was never a 'fan' due to his 'gangsta' image, but I have to say that I'm really rootin' for him now.

I went through a similar change of heart with Michael Invin. I just couldn't stand the guy when he was with the Cowboys but since he has cleaned up his act and given his life to Christ I really enjoy his commentary. I was driving one day a few years back listening to Rome on the local sports talk station here and he had an interview with Michael 'The Plea-maker' Irvin that really impressed me. He just sounded very genuine and admitted to all of his 'antics'...and didn't blame anyone but himself. It was actually quite inspiring. I think Vick could do the same thing and turn his past sin into a wonderful testimony on a giant stage and have a very positive effect on those who still participate in this ongoing problem...that is, if he is afforded the chance to do so.

Looks like a 2-yr signing, with a third year option. Shows what I know...nothing.

Best wishes, however.

I think they should make him fight a dog first...
