Nice and rational... Imagine you have a kid. Let's say a 6 year old boy. Now, you're sitting with your kid watching an NFL game and Michael Vick is playing. Sure enough, there's some people in the crowd booing him and holding up signs that say pretty rough stuff about him. So, your kid turns to you and says, "Daddy, why's those people booing and holding up those signs?" And you look at your kid and say to him, "Well, you see son, Michael Vick, the quarterback for that team there... well, a few years ago he was caught training dogs to kill and be killed by each other, and in the process he tortured them, electrocuted them, and even personally murdered them." So, your son looks up to you and says, "And <em>he</em> plays football in the NFL?" Even a child knows we should be better than that. What kind of world do you want to live in? In your world, could Michael Vick do anything he wants? Could he be president one day? How would you explain to your son or daughter how a man like that could be rich and famous?

What kind of world do you want to live in? In your world, could Michael Vick do anything he wants? Could he be president one day? How would you explain to your son or daughter how a man like that could be rich and famous?

Amazing. Michael Vick is a slob. Scum of the Earth. He should be thrown in a cage of his own dogs so they could tear him to pieces. I can't believe any ostensibly decent human being would support this pile of trash. I'm extremely disappointed with our good host here. And I'm exceedingly disappointed with the people out there that think this satanic vermon should be allowed to play in the NFL and make all that money and regarner all that fame. It's one thing to forgive someone, to say they've paid their due - it's another thing entirely to reward them with fortune and fame. Too bad Jeffrey Dahmer is dead! He coulda' been a great player! He'd eat 'em alive! Why not Osama Bin Laden as a coach? He's quite the tactician from what I hear! Any child molesters out there good at running back? What kind of moral standard is good enough for a conservative anyway? I remember whan you said that you advised your coworkers, and I paraphrase, 'as long as it's legal it's okay.' That's great man. Gonna tell your kids that one day? So, you can lie, cheat, steal, fool, trick, abuse, kill, anything ya' want - as long as it's legal it's okay! So, Michael Vick is "legal" now, right? But that does mean that a disgusting monster who picks up dogs and slams it on the ground - PICKS UP A DOG AND SLAMS IT ON THE GROUND - should be a richly rewarded player in America's favorite professional sport? Where do you draw the line? What kind of morality do you possess? Do you possess any at all? I could not possibly be more disappointed. Go ahead and ban me if you want.

The late great Howard Cossell would be appalled, but not the least bit surprised. The age of the great sportswriters and sportcasters is over. It's just a bunch of ex-coaches and ex-players, most of whom have little or none of the skills required to be great writers and announcers. I can't believe any real football fan would be happy about this. All Chuckie is going to bring to the booth is more blowhard color commentary. Barf. As for Vick, he didn't come anywhere near serving his time. He should have gotten at least ten years. The little lowlife pulled a fast one - he smoked pot before sentencing and was able to finagle a reduced sentence with "drug treatment." He lied to the cops, he lied to the NFL, he lied to his team, he lied to the fans, and he did the next worst thing to molesting children. If he is returned to the league, I will not watch the NFL, write about the NFL, patronize any coverage of the NFL, root for any team, buy any merchandize - nothing, nada, zilch - until he is gone from the league. And there are millions of other Americans who feel the same way. Goodell better take heed - Michael Vick is persona non grata. JMJ Tony Kornheiser’s out and in comes Gruden.
