Well, he'll only be 33 then. Someone might do it. especially considering that he'll have state of the art work out equipment in prison.
Sad thing is, he wasn't really even a "good" qb, but this happening will make others say "he was struck down in his prime, imagine what he could have done".
Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce the next Bo Jackson. Michael Vick

Don't disgrace Bo...at least he was injured.
Vick should be Pete Rose'd in the NFL.

Pete Rose should be in the HOF and you know it.

Well, he should be...but only because he played a full career before becoming an idiot.

I look at it this way.
A player is inducted to any hall of fame because of his historical contributions to the sport. He without a doubt has considerably contributed to baseball regardless of his infractions. He has already been punished. How much longer does this fiasco have to go on?
On a side note if the NFL refused to remove OJ Simpson from the Football HOF because he was inducted due to his contributions to the game, then it should be a professional standard. I understand that it is not. But, maybe it should be.
Thirdly, what is more of a travesty? Barry Bonds is still allowed to pursue the Home run record and he broke the rules and will possibly get into the Hall of Fame. I think that what Pete Rose did was Just as severe as what Bonds did. So if you will not let Rose into the HOF, then do not let Bonds continue to play for the record.

So uh, who is going to sign Vick in 2013? Any thoughts?
He may be guilty but he ain't doing any time for this. Even if he does some time it's not going to be anything significant. He is going to loose 07 and that's probably it. His days in Atl are over, but he'll be on someones roster next year.
I could see him going somewhere like KC. I'm not sure what the hell KC is thinking putting their future in the hands of Broodie Croyle. Vick probably needs a guy like Herm Edwards as his HC. Like a lot of these guys, he really needs somewhat of a father figure that he really respects. Whether the KC organization would want him is another story.

Personally, I think Vick has a little bit of thug in him. He knew what was going on in his house. But how big his role was needs to play out in the courts. My point was you have all these people at the Falcons practice facility protesting. For what??? Vick isn't even there so why are they there??? If they want to protest go to Richmond or find somthing better to do. It makes no damn sense. People need to just chill out.
Its PETA people and this is the kind of stuff they do. Their home base is located here in Norfolk, Va. so they are in the local news very often. The reason they are protesting the Falcons is to put preasure on them to get rid of Vick even though he has not been found guilty of the crimes. I think that the Falcons are in a tough spot because of the nature of the crimes that he is acused of but he has not been convicted of anything. I'll agree that the media goes wild over this stuff and everyone wants to be the first to report on what going on but anyone with his high profile would get the same treatment. It just goes with the job and fame.

Vick co-defendant pleads guilty - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/07/30/vick.dogfighting/index.html)
One of the co-defendants in the Michael Vick federal dogfighting case entered a guilty plea on Monday and pledged to fully cooperate with prosecutors.
I wonder if this means that things are about to get even worse for Vick.

Anyone remember what Leonard Little did of the Rams? He was driving drunk and wrecked into a women and killed her. Then he got caught driving drunk again after he killed someone. Yet, he is still playing in the NFL. This guy should have been thrown out of the league. What he did was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaay worse than what Vick did. But if I remember correctly, his case did not get nearly the media attention this case is getting.

Very much so. This guy will be the star witness for the prosecution and he will make Vick look very bad. I really think Vick is going to jail.
