Michael Vick Reinstated to NFL

The NFL has "conditionally" reinstated Michael Vick. My guess is that if he gets picked up by a team he's going to keep out of trouble.

Michael Vick Reinstated by the NFL
Monday, July 27, 2009

NEW YORK — Michael Vick was conditionally reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday and could play in regular season games as early as October.

Vick can immediately participate in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and can play in the final two preseason games — if he can find a team that will sign him. A number of teams have already said they would not.

It's about time. Somebody's gonna sign him.

Do you think Al Davis is on the phone yet?

GreekGodX · 07-27-2009, 04:03 PM

It is just too bad that he still might not play until week 6. I think he has served enough of a punishment and should get a full reinstatement.

Vikings is my bet... they need a QB and badly.

Wouldn't suprise me. I don't think all the Brett Favre talk is going to pan out into anything productive. I think Brett's ship has sailed.

He'd be a good fit with either, Vikings or Bengals.

Farve worked out fine for the Jets last year - half the season, anyway. So there's the plan for you - Brett the first half, then Vick to finish.

Only this year?

Vick may/probably has lost a step of two but with Peterson he does not need to run and I am sure his arm is still a massive gun.

I was hoping for this outcome...NFL should not be different than anyone else...NO DOUBLE JEAPORDY!! He did his time...I trult believe that Goodell made the right decision. Now the hard part...who is going to sign him and put up with all the press?

I'd like to see what Bill can do with him...

No, I think he means that other Bill - the one who thinks rules are made for him to break, as long as he wins.

Ahhh,OK, Masshole... missed that. Yeah, that wont happen

icehog3 · 07-27-2009, 06:05 PM

Too bad his college eligibility is over, he could play for the Georgia Bulldogs, or the Northern Illinois Huskies, or the Easten New Mexico Greyhounds, or the ....Oh, OK. You get it.

blugill · 07-27-2009, 06:24 PM

I really doubt if anyone will want this PR nightmare.

07-27-2009, 06:30 PM

yeah. Let him play.

No pads, no helmet.

Maybe for the Cleveland Browns so the Dawg Pound can videotape and make money off his ""fighting prowess"".

Whoever signs him is gonna face a PR nightmare.

bigloo · 07-27-2009, 06:31 PM

Andy, he will play. There have been NFL stars convicted of crimes as serisou as manslaughter who have played when released. Take Leonard Little as a prize example.

07-27-2009, 06:41 PM

all you gotta do is look at the Dallas Cowboys during the 90's for a list of criminals.

Pretty pathetic, really.
