The price he paid was excessive? Dude should still be in jail. You can't be serious. 

Donte Stallworth killed a person while driving drunk and spent 30 days in jail. Josh Brent the same: 60 days in jail. Roethlisburger raped a woman ("allegedly"). Not even charged. Vick spent almost TWO YEARS in prison. 

One of us is not serious but it's not me

They should be jailed as well. If you commit a crime, you should serve it. But in a country where everything depends on the money you have and not the crimes committed, people get off too easy. The Koch brothers should be jailed, but they get off by throwing around money. 

But not trying to get off topic. Forgive him sure, but no one should feel bad for not liking him.

Love Vick.  Most exciting player in the history of the Atlanta Falcons.  And for everyone and anyone that wants to be mad about him fighting dogs, I understand.  But as a kid raised in the streets, dog fighting isn't that far fetched.  I suppose you have to look at things from a different perspective, but not many people can do that.  I can.  Many people are quick to judge, especially people that call themselves Christian.  Which I find curious.  But whatever.  Glad to have the dude on the squad.  Much love to number seven and don't forget Roddy's t-shirt.

If he didnt get in trouble he would of broke crazy records and our 07 season wouldve been hype. What happened, happened and glad we was able to get Matt Ryan.

For all you know he would have struggled in the worst way in 07. Vick was never as good as the hype says he was.

All of them should be in jail with Vick.

I was a huge fan. Ordered his jersey the day he was drafted among many others of his thru the yrs. 

Found this board/website to watch his 1st preseason game. Super exciting player. About 5yrs into it, I realized it wasn't going to happen for him.

The dogfighting was deplorable to me, but I believe in 2nd chances. I can forgive for that. 

The lack of commitment, I wont forgive him for. All the talent, but didn't watch film, didn't put in the work, everything. Got other guys busting their *** and he didnt. Then he has the audacity to speak negative about this organization while in Philly.  $100m contract and you blow it on the field and off.

I wish he would've put in the effort while here like he did in Philly. Coaching is to blame to. I don't feel any anger towards him; not important enough too. He changed and that is good, but just a waste of talent. Amazing we recovered as a franchise as quickly as we did.

Vick was awesome when he was here...took us to the nfc championship game, with peerless price and dez white....wow. the guy played hard...too hard in fact...he got in trouble and paid for it. Both his on field play and off field transgressions  are behind me. We all have done things that could wind us in jail, some get caught, some dont. I could never hold a grudge against a person who does something and pays a price for it...then later shows growth. Anybody can hold a grudge and criticize. It takes a mature mindset to move beyond what a person once was and look at who they are, or who they are trying to be.

Agreed from what I know at least to me dog fighting is way more common than people know. To me dog is literally nothing more than an animal, and to others it's family, and to me that's where things get weird. 

 

Really the sad part about the Vick case had he not been making money I don't think he does time.
