He needs a medical treatment. Serving a jail term doesn't help him at all, it just appeases the public. Up to now, he hasn't been cured from that mental illness, he will recidivate at any moment and at that time it might be on human being!! He is a dangerous man to the community at large.

Where are all the other talented young men waiting in the wings for their opportunity to play? Vick is a monster. A moral void. He can and should be replaced. Who in Hell needs Michael Vick?

There are many qb's in the league with more talent and less b.s., treat this scumbag a lesson, make him get a f'n job at the burger king or something...or better yet, put his ass in a dog suit and hand out flyers for a dog rescue foundation..I wish a dog would have bit his damm hands off. …Also, if anyone who works for the nfl reads this, michael vick is a garbage player, all he can do is run, he couldn’t get the ball to a player if he went and handed it to him.

What makes a dogs life less valuable than a humans, all because he is a star he recieves simpathy, screw him and all his fans, they are little getto pieces of crap like him. Maybe we should put his ass in a cage everyday with a beast and let them fight, see how he likes it. A buddy of mine works in the prison he is in and told me that he has his own area and still plays ball in prison, if it was up to me, I spend my day throwing a football at his nuts.

I know how much you love animals, so I do respect your positions in many instances. However, watching a person watching television for as many years as I have is no fun at all!

I think it says it all about whether Vick should have a career in football again: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k6qaPRIURpU/Saj20JpwpZI/AAAAAAAAAPw/5nHVNbmYWGI/s1600-h/vick_cartoon.jpg I just saw this cartoon over on BAD RAP’s blog.

And that Vick should have paid a fine and played on, since "it's wasn't like he hurt a person." Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to point out the well-documented links between violence against animals and violence against people. Since then, I think at least that one person started to get it a little more, thanks to articles like the one in <a href="http://www.petconnection.com/blog/2008/12/25/sports-illustrated-on-the-vick-dogs-has-the-tide-finally-turned-for-pit-bulls/" rel="nofollow">Sports Illustrated</a>.
