'There's no question Michael's paid his debt': Falcons owner sa...

The owner of the Atlanta Falcons says Michael Vick has paid his debt to society and merits a second chance.

[Concerned]

Good, I hope he gets a second chance, I do not think the punishment was warranted anyways, he should have gotten probation and a fine.

Sorry. He should be banned forever from Football. The dog fighting was bad enough. But he killed dogs that did not fight hard enough and tortured them to fight harder- to be meaner. That is just wrong.

I know he did his time, but I do not think he should pick up where he left off making millions like nothing happened. He is not a role model and football has not been hurt by his absence.

Do people want their kids admiring a guy who did this stuff?

[Just me]

Let him play! He did pay his debt to society and is sorry for it.

[Upshaw]

Clearly, Mr. Blank is attempting to stir the market to get interest for Vick since they own the rights and would receive some picks or compensation. Barring injury there is no way he will be in a Falcons uniform with Matt Ryan being so successful.

[Allan Trammel]

If they let this guy back in the NFL I will never watch another NFL game in my life. This guy is an animal murderer and a thug, period.

people have committed far worse against human beings in many cases only to be slapped on the wrist or not convicted and truly punished at all.

mike vick did what many would not have: he admitted his faults and served his time admirably without incident.

he has been humbled and now deserves every chance to resume his professional career, and put the issue behind him.

i agree with others that he should never have gone to prison over the dogs in the first place.

Now we know that they have standards in the south. They are very LOW standards, but at least they have some.

Michael Vick is my hero

[Dave U]

just Me...I think the only thing he's sorry for is that he got caught and punished. He and his brother Marcus, are cut from the same cloth. I have no regard for them at all. The fact that Michael Vick would just kill dogs who didn't fight hard enough shows just how evil and soul-less this guy is. The only thing he cares about is himself, and that's allowed in this country. i'm just glad he's not coming here. Physical talent is one thing; cheering for an evil punk is something else.

[Saluki Rod]

You know some team will take a chance on him. I just wonder which organization is willing to take on this PR monster-in-waiting?

[Hampton Rds Native]

Now that M. Vick where's a collar, can we put him in a chain link fence with another dude and let them fight to the death?

[Hampton Rds Native]

wears...

[Rick]

He should be banned permanently.. hanging and shooting animals? He deserves what he got and more. If he's re-instated i will never watch pro ball again....

O.J. walked .
And quit pulling a pelosi mike admitted nothing and in fact told the NFL COMMISSIONER as well as the courts that he was 100% innocent of all charges.It was only after his codefendents turned to witnesses that he said he did it.So quit trying to paint an obvious fake picture of a real man that was straight up from the get out.The only that makes mike a man is having a di** other than that he's a dog killing thug from bad newz as he call his kennel.

He's sorry he got caught, and sorry he's out of money. He probably blames the dogs he killed for the way his life ended up.

I'd agree with him getting back into football, but only if we could whip him, hang him, and give him a daily beating.

Where do you think he should have gone instead of prison? Perhaps we should have had a celebration with thousands and thousands celebrating his mutilation and brutalization of innocent and helpless animals for a SEVEN YEAR PERIOD and for his OWN PERSONAL PLEASURE AND ENTERTAINMENT. Would that satisfy you? Obviously, either you are not aware of this sadistic beast's torture and killing of helpless animals, such as hanging, drowning and/or electrocuting them to death. He has a psychopathic personality which means that he will eventually escalate to torturing and killing humans when the thrill of torturing and killing animals no longer serves his needs. Were you aware of all this before you posted that he never should have gone to prison in the first place? If so, then it doesn't bother in the least what he did to animals with his own hands.I guess you either have a dislike for animals and/or couldn't care less if some sadistic creature tears them apart for pleasure & entertainment. You are probably the kind that would say "they are only dogs"
He deserves nothing more than a miserable and SHORT LIFE as he is a scumbag of the worse kind and I hope he gets what he deserves.
