Michael Vick is scheduled to be released from prison on May 20th. He still has home confinement and probation for a duration of time. So, everyone is asking, when will we see Vick in an NFL uniform again? My answer is a resounding, NEVER!
The guy committed a crime. It's not like he was on a shortage for cash. He didn't need to be running a dog fighting ring to make ends. He made his choice of what he wanted to do. I'm not singling Vick out. The same thing goes for Plaxico Burress. You want to go out to the wrong places and shoot yourself in the leg? Go ahead, but don't expect to get to come back and be a professional athlete. That is a privilege.
The problem is, there is a fine line about what is too much. If a guy goes out and gets a few speeding tickets, let him play. We all make mistakes. It's the big mistakes, the ones you plan out, and then carry out, that are the ones you should have to pay for. Maybe Vick will be made an example out of, maybe not. I don't personally care if he comes back. I was never a fan of him anyway. I just know that if I was Roger Goodell, I would think long and hard before letting him back in the game.
