Default Re: Albany Firebirds offer Michael Vick a contract

I agree that he should be allowed to make a living, he can learn to say paper or plastic. Hopefully he will not be reinstated this year for football. He has not served any NFL mandated suspension yet for the conviction. The pretrial suspension should be discounted and he should now serve a NFL suspension for the conviction. I am totally against forgiveness but I was (and am) the same way with Ray Lewis and going farther back I was the same way with Paul Hornung and Alex Karas with their gambling. Like it or not, kids look up to athletes and I am strongly opposed to having Mr. Vick on any sort of pedestal.
