While what he did was reprehensible, he deserves a second chance, and so far seems like he might have turned a corner. It doesn't hurt that Tony Dungy is also backing him....

Is it soley on conjecture? He was involved in illegal gambling. He wasn't playing poker in a garage with some buddies. He was financing and attending dog fights. So I suppose what he actually did at those dog fights, besides the obvious, is open to conjecture. Still he put himself in that situation. It looks bad on the league to have such an individual as a member. Like I said, the NFL doesn't need Michael Vick. They were doing just fine the last two years without him.
Everybody deserves a second chance and Michael Vick is getting a second chance as a free man after paying his debt to society. Still I believe that there is no room for anybody involved in illegal gambling in pro sports. I feel the same way about Rick Tocchet.
