Philly has a courtroom in their stadium, if any team is equipped to handle Vick, they are.

if nothing else it makes football this year more interesting

he has done his time and if he was in a different profession he would still have to find work and a second chance so it isn't that much different other everyone has heard of him because he plays football

Ugh, I am disgusted by Michael Vick. Whatever happened to making an example out of someone? If Pete Rose wasn't allowed back into the MLB, why should Vick be allowed back into the NFL? with open arms!? What does this teach our kids?

read my article that was submitted to the Eagle's marketing/promotions dept by a few of my loyal readers. I am embarrassed to be from Philadelphia today.

Michael Vick has paid his debt ascribed by a court of law. Being that we revere our 'rule of law' what other debt is he supposed to pay?

Unfortunate as Mr. Vick's mistakes are they are a minute fraction of the animal combat violence that goes on in this country. Michael's experience being so public brings the horrible issue of dog fighting to a greater level of awareness. Surely that is one good thing that came out of all this, his renewed employment by the NFL will continue the conversation.

Vick served his time. He paid the debt that our society has determined is needed. He probably had to serve more time than usual because of his high profile status. He is doing all of the right things and will most likely NEVER do the same crime again.

I am a dog lover and a football fan. I am glad the Eagles signed him.

Sports has a different level of accountability. The only thing that matters is 'win baby, just win.' Doesn't really matter what you do off the field, as we've seen repeatedly with Kobe, Ray Lewis, Ortiz,Pitino, Bobboy Knight, and A-Rod. Not to mention the umpteen dozens of college players.

Screw ethics. Just win baby!

I think he should've got more than just 30 days though. What do you think they would've done if it was just a ordinary joe like you or me? How bout “bury us under the damn jail for a lot longer”!

I am glad for Vick. I live in Atlanta and Philly is my hometown. People have to pay their price and move forward. He has and I am glad he is getting a chance to start over again. He will be better for it and now dogs have an advocate who was once an enemy. People that complain may want him to pay with blood,but that is unreasonable. He is a person and people make mistakes. LET's let it go and all learn from it. GO EAGLES!!! I will be at the game in Atlanta in Dec. for sure.

He served his time in jail and lost all of his money, so I think he has paid a high enough price, especially when you consider that he killed some dogs while Ray Lewis killed a person and no one cares. Also, with Tony Dungy as his mentor, he is basically guaranteed to be a better person.

You are NO animal lover, please don't kid yourself. Vick in NO way paid his debt to society and if you believe his apology, you are an idiot.
