		<description>He has a whole team of experts to tell him what to say to the media--as admitted on 60 minutes.
Being well-schooled by highly paid consultants, he will be able to play again.

It was hard to believe him when he said that the millions did not mean anything to him.

And then, again, if he can convince other people by going around to schools and spreading the word that dog fighting is cruel, maybe some good can surface.</description>

		<description>Vick on 60 minutes:  I don&#039;t believe him when he said he didn&#039;t care about the money, nor do I believe him when he said he was &quot;disgusted&quot; with his behavior.  A simple &quot;I&#039;m sorry about how I treated those dogs, and I hope America will forgive me&quot; might have helped.  He sounded scripted, looked very nervous (was constantly wetting his lips) and had no expression.  If he can convince some people to stop fighting dogs, he can redeem himself.</description>

		<description>and apparently almost every sportscaster in America � doing it.

everyone EXCEPT ME, i fully stand behind what I say. I will not support anything Vick, or Philadelphia Eagles and it goes beyond the horrendous, horrible, mind burning, heart, gut wrenching things that he and his buddies did to the dogs.....

He&#039;s a felon 1st &amp; foremost and a liar........they should not be allowed to play in the NFL at all. Any of them, but alas i am very much in the minority on this.......guess what, i don&#039;t care. I will keep on keepin on!

Let him go make a living as any other felon would have to, step by step....week by week. I know felons that are awesome now that they have reformed.......yet they can&#039;t get a job flipping burgers because of their record. Vick is making millions again, because he can throw a ball with a completion rate of only 58.3%. HA! you hit the nail on the head with this write up, solid &amp; forth right! THANK YOU</description>

		<description>I also feel he should not be paraded in the football league or anywhere else where he gets publicity. That he was signed for $1.6mil....well
see the smoke coming out of my ears!! Why should he be given such a salary after what he&#039;s done. Our society is all about greed unfortunately and sadly.</description>
