>So OK, no one should hire T.O. as an English teacher. But he has a point. Michael Vick has paid his debt to society and deserves the chance to come back.

>And Roger Goodell is giving him the chance. Goodell could have done much worse than just suspend him for 4 games.

>Vick lied to his owner, lied to Goodell, and lied to all his fans. Vick's prison sentence is not related to Goodell's discipline - Goodell is not bound by what the legal system decided for Vick. Goodell has been sending a message to all players - screw up, and you'll be suspended. The man is doing his best to clean up the league.

>Were I an owner, even if I DID need a QB, I highly doubt I'd take Vick.

The rumors were correct -- a four game suspension.
