He has got to do a total repent option play, time can heal bad memories. I think you might see him back on the field in the future if he plays a role of complete remorse. Grovel for forgiveness and hope public memory fades.

That would be what an intelligent human being would do...I don't see Vick swallowing his ego long enough to play that game (at least without choking on it)...somehow, I don't see PETA having any use for him, if they do, I'll cancel my membership!

Hes a sicko, there is no doubt he deserves to be punished. That being said if you compare dogfighting to child molestation who should get more prisontime? You have many first time sexual assults and child molestors getting less than he may get. He doesnt deserve to be in there longer than a guy who sexually violates women and children.

I certainly agree Bid, but the answer isn't shortening Vick's sentence, rather we should lock up molesters and throw away the key! Shortening Vick's sentence would simply be adding another travesty to an ever-growing list...when I worked in the prison, i heard everyday how unfair it was that this guy or this woman was serving time while others got off...misses the point...sure, some skate but the unfairness has nothing to do with a person paying for his/her crime. Vick is an animal if indeed he pleads to the charges as presented...the fact that other animals sometimes get short sentences won't be fixed by shortening Vick's!

Maybe Vick could "handle" the molesters like he did the losing dogs. That would make me appreciate him more.

Ha, good idea Cannon.

Ok I am going to speak about this in short form. If in fact Vick killed some of those dogs with his own hands the way the media is reporting and an NFL team signs him after his release shame on them. Second chances, even third are all fine and dandy for your run of the mill mistakes etc etc but.............

This is beyond the scope of what it means to be a human being. If he did in fact kill those dogs with his own hands OR knew of this going down, he deserves to spend A LOT MORE TIME in a HARSHER PRISON then what he no doubt will get.

I want to go into other areas about this case but in respect for this board and my not getting banned I will refrain. This case has been a real, real thorn in my side and wil continue to be until the ACTUAL FACTS come out.

Does not help when I see a woman last week wearing a Vick jersey at the Grocery Store I work.

i've said before at work, i'm all for second chances--but his second chance will be at learning value for life, and for what he had and wasted and blew away with his own stupidity.
as for a second chance in the nfl--ain't gonna happen.

Hopefully the FEDS will catch up to Barry Bonds pretty soon, now that they have busted Vick.
