Michael Vick
Interesting article on CNN - A long read but good:
Is it OK to cheer for Michael Vick? - CNN.com Does he deserve redemption? Discuss.

What he did was terrible. He went to prison, and seemed to have learned a huge life lesson. I hate the Iggles, a lot...but feel free to cheer for Vick. I'm not going to, but that is because of the jersey he wears, not because of his past.

This guy is living on $4k a month or something stupid like that, drives a used for Explorer. He did his time, it's not like he killed somebody, he deserves a second chance.

I'm inclined to think he does too. He's exciting to watch and seems to be making an effort to repair his image.

I give the guy credit for trying to make amends. He's certainly proving himself on the field.

Can't stand animal abuse or those who abuse animals. However, he served his time, paid his dues. The man is one hell of an athlete as well. Got to admire his talent. Give the guy a chance........even if he is an Eagle.

..and let's not forget, one endorsement deal will take care of all his financial problems.
Both of my daughters were at VT when both he and his brother were there. There was a lot of stuff/incidences with both of them that were not made public but were well known at the school. He and his brother are both thugs...Sorry. |

I know one guy that's loving him right now. Phil (JoeCoool). He kicked our ass in fantasy football with him.

I agree w/ the majority on this one. What he did was deplorable but he served his time. Even tho' I think he should have been in longer, he fulfilled the sentence he was given. He has a chance at a new start and from what I see here and there, he's taking advantage of it. Sometimes it takes people awhile to change but the important thing is that they change.

He's done his time and will forever be known as the dog killer. He may get the money and accolades but he will still have that name attached to him. Just like Ray (I didn't see sh!t double murder) Lewis.

Sorry, I can't get past it.
He served his time and deserves the opportunity to make a living in his chosen profession. But anyone that can do that in the first place is lacking something in his DNA. Even a murder, committed one time in the heat of passion is different than his little enterprise with all his homies Color me unimpressed with his public relations re-hab.. |

All of you would get Banned from The CF PR&C for having those opinions. Shame on you for having contrary thoughts.

I am torn - yes he did his time and paid for his crimes - but if he wasn't as good as he is - he would be banned from the NFL. I think it sends the wrong message - and whether they like it or not - kids look up to them.

Dude scored 68 points for me one week. The dog fighting thing was bad, but the strangulating thing was beyond awful. I have mixed feelings. I felt so weird about it I didn't take the money when I won with him. |
