Michael Vick has agreed to plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges. Do you think he will ever play in the NFL again? Should he be allowed to?

I don't think Mike Vick will be back, and quite frankly, he needs to be banned for life from football.

HE NEEDS TO DO NOT ONLY A YEAR, BUT BE BANNED FROM FOOTBALL AND NEVER BE ALLOWED TO OWN ANOTHER ANIMAL EVER AGAIN!!! WHY IS IT PEOPLE CHOOSE NOT TO THINK? HOW WOULD THEY LIKE THE SAME TREATMENT THAT THEY GIVE TO OTHER LIVING CREATURES!

I think he should pay the penalty and go on with his life. If he does the crime, he should do the time, then play football again. His crime sucked, but should he pay for the rest of his life? Even rapist and murderers get released.

NO he shoud NEVER play ball AGAIN. Or better yet put him I a ring with someone bigger/stronger then him and let him get his butt kick or worse like he did to those dogs. Eye for an eye.. If one does a crime no matter who they are need to pay for what they did. I am sooooo sick of ppl that have money getting off as money pays all.

Why would someone do something so DUMB anyways?
Being in the spotlight ,wow.....I believe Mr.Vick should never even be allowed to be SEEN in public.
OR Why doesn't HE go in the ring against DOG (get it?) The bounty hunter, and see how he likes having his face ripped off !!

i dont know the guy but im thinkin this isnt a good guy gone bad but i think he has allways been like this and its just a case of this kind of person getting a high paying job then getting busted. i used to be a sports fan but havnt been for a long time, it looks to me like its more about the love of money than the game and in the end all it does is perpetuate greed and bad behavior. i hadnt heard of vick until after this happend.
i have better things to do with my time than watch some 100 million dollar idiot like this run around a field.

I think that he should be punished for what he did. However, I think that he should be allowed to continued with his life. He should not be blackballed for the remainder of his life. He should be given a second chance.

Let him be convicted, serve his jail time and if anyone wants him on their football team, he should be allowed to continue his career.

I believe he should be banned from all football related things. This guy who is a rolemodle? What is wrong with him. HE must serve as an example that Dog fighting is not right. He needs a stiff sentence and a hefty fine! If he get into football ever again, I will boycott that team!

He needs 10 years a fine and banned for life from pro football.

i cant beliee what i am reading from some people. these are dogs. not human beings. its not like he killed a person. he shouldnt even go to prison. its so stupid. and hell no, he shouldnt be banned from football. i think the nfl will be fine if a couple hippys dont watch some games vick is in.

Ban him for life? Are you serious? Yes, it is awful what he did to those dogs but come on how are they going to ban him for life. They can't do that now, Ray Lewis didn't get banned for life and he killed a human being. They should have set that higher standard years ago. If they do ban him I hope the ACLU sues the NFL on the principal that you kill a dog your banned for life, kill a human do your time and we will welcome you back with open arms. Whatever I say if any NFL player has a felony, ban them all. Let's see who plays then.

have someone treat him for a day the way he treated his dogs - see how he likes being electricuted or hung... maybe some electroshock on his testicles for good measure. if pete rose gets banned for life for betting on baseball, then vick should just do his time and disappear

pit bulls.
the only upside to all of this is there are a few less of these viscious dogs. vick needs to go to jail for what he did and so do others who own dogs like pit bulls who have had such a long history of attacking innocent people like that lady last week where 2 pit bulls came through her doggie door in the middle of the night.
the story is allways the same "he was such a nice dog" yeah until it tried to rip somebodys face off. those things need to be registerd and the owners need to go to prison when they attack.

He is such a young man and has shown contrition for his horrendous sin. I think he should be forgiven and given another chance.

HE SHOULD TO BE BANDED FOR LIFE WITH ANY SPORTS,OWNING ANY ANIMALS OR ANY BUSINESS LIC IN ANY STATE HERE OR ABROAD. SHOULD PAY BACK FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION BACK ANY CONTRACT AND MONEY'S NOW AND IN FUTURE. SALE HIS FORTUNE AND LIVE ON DIRT FLOORS. DON'T LET THESE DEEP POCKETS BUY HIS WAY OUT. HE BROKE THE LAW SO NOW SUFFER AS THESE DOGS DID. I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HIM NOW I NEVER WATCH ANY FOOTBALL GAMES AGAIN. I KNOW OTHERS ARE IN ON IT. YEA OTHER BIG SHOTS ARE OUT THERE TO. I HOPE YOU GET THEM TOO.
THEY ARE SCUBBAGGS AND LAW BRAKERS ALSO.
