sooooooo whats everyone's opinion on this?

 

My personal opinion is the Beagles just got another a-hole to add to their list of a-holes.

 

I almost don't think he should be allowed to play football either.

 

I'm not a big fan of giving second chances to people like this. And being an animal lover I kinda view this on the same level as killing a human.

You arent allowed to comment, you are a Giants fan!

 

as a non giants fan (but not an Iggles fan either), I think its deplorable that he is let back in the league, conditional or not. what does conditional mean? OF COURSE HES NOT GONNA DOG FIGHT ANYMORE! DUH! Hes a criminal, he should not have been reinstated, period

 

He sucks anyway

Not a football fan...

 

and I hate people who hurt animals....

yip I think its a big crock of crap that they let him back in. Really pisses me off a lot.

 

And don't you be bashing the Giants, I'm sure your a cowboy fan, please reply so I can point and laugh

 

thank you

He should have been banned for life, as should any other convicted felon. He's a great role model for all the wannabe gangstas, thugs and 'bangers out there, but not much more than that.

Why why why would you pick up such a sorry excuse and not know whether he's even going to be able to play ball until week six? The season will be 1/3 over at that point. It's poor planning, IMNSHO at least from an Owner's stand point.

 

Then I look at it from the Humanitarian stand point and say why should he even be allowed to set foot on a field?

forget mike vick,can you guys believe eli manning is going to be making roughly 1million a game.thats friggin nuts!

Matt- Not a Boys fan either

 

I have to tell you, I pretty much despise major pro sports, especially teams like the Yankees. Anyone that roots for the yankkes Ill tell you I root for General Electric, IBM or Joe's corner pizza shop! THEY ARE ALL THE same thing, they are all just a BUSINESS.

 

20 dollars for a hot dog and a beer? I mean are you kidding me? Where's the sport in a team like the Yankees? Oh, we can buy any player we want so lets get everyone we can? yeah, a lotta sport in that. And Im not just a yankee hater, Im a Major league pro baseball hater. Minor leagues are still a wonderful experience, and that is the only hope for that sport.

 

At least F-ball has some salary cap. But I tell ya, I lose respect for anyone that makes millions of dollars doing something they love, and then goes on strike, which means only the fans suffer.

 

Sorry Im done!

WOW, Tiny, don't sugar coat it, tell us what you really think?

 

Vick should not be allowed to play pro sports ever again. Of course, now all the dog loving defense men might a shot at him on the field?

Agreed, the direction of pro sports is pretty lame and minors are definitely the way to go. Those kids actually want to me out there and playing unlike these pro guys.

Vick should be drowned, bashed in the head with a hammer until death, kicked, and beat the same exact way he tortured and killed dogs. Fkn douche.

I say we roll him up in hamburger meat and throw him to the dogs..

There are at least two players, currently playing, who have been convicted in the past 5 years of killing someone while DUI.

 

That's much worse than paying for dog fights (he was convicted for paying for it, not for doing any of it).

 

Dog fighting is bad; killing people under DUI is much worse, IMHO.

I do not like sports , but I am tired of these dirtbags getting special treatment. He needs to go collect trash for a while and learn to appreciate what he had. Crime pays if you are a wealthy famous piece of amphibian whale dung.

From a sports angle, this costs the Eagles NOTHING for a player who can make an impact if he even reaches 80% of his former talent (not to mention his ceiling potential). With McNabb's inconsistencies (when he's good, he's GREAT; when he's bad, he's better on the bench), Kolb's MCL sprain, and Feeley being a journeyman QB; Vick has the ability to really open up the Eagles offense. It seems that the Eagles are all about speed (Jackson, Maclin, Westbrook, and I guess McNabb still has some mobility), as they're finally catching on to where the NFL is transitioning too. They're like the Raiders, except they can actually execute a game plan!

 

I agree that what he did is heinous, and he will never be forgiven. However, I honestly think he's served his hard time, and will be in debt to society for the rest of his life (Federal prison is no joke). But to take away a person's potential, spit in their face, and outcast them is ethically not sound. Yes, to play in the NFL is a privilege, and maybe it is the NFL and society that allows the continuing failure of individual's decision making. However, it is ultimately a sport, a form of entertainment. Football is not the American ideals or values manifested, nor is it something to live by or live towards. If people do believe that, I think they're only fueling the continuing trend set by society currently.

 

The man will sell tickets, air time, and bring in revenue for teams, industries, and cities. He will fulfill a role, and if he ends up being a high character individual who wins some games, then so be it. If he just drifts on by, so be it. If people hate him, get his name off your lips. Simple as that.

BBK I agree to a point, but regardless of our adult rationalizing he is a role model to the younger generations and it teaches them you can do whatever you want as long as you can make money when you are done and you will be rewarded. It sends the wrong message as does most of the entertainment industry.

 

Wow I sound like a bitter old man, don't I?

tb, yes you do...and you are all the better for it!

 

i'm pretty torn about this issue. i've been an eagles season ticket holder for 5 years now. i love animals and i've never liked vick, even before his conviction. i agree that this makes it seem to kids that all can be forgiven if you are rich and i just don't think that that is something that should be glorified. i understand that signing vick was cheap for the eagles but what i don't understand is why the eagles had to sign him and his baggage. let another team sign him, like the raiders whose motto is "hey, it's only a misdemeanor!"

 

i'm going to the eagles preseason game this thursday and i will be booing him the whole time.

Pretty much this... the REALLY annoying fans are the ones who are always using "We" when they're talking about "Thier" team. Dude, unless you're suiting up and going out on the field, or are standing next to the coach..YOU ARE NOT IN THE LOOP, AND WE DOESN'T INCLUDE YOU.

couldn't agree more KDpipes, i'ts just silly...

My thoughts exactly KPD. But then again, I do not like sports.
