I’m going to be serious for a change. Well, mostly serious. I am soooo disappointed in the Buffalo Bills. They are totally depriving us of the chance to debate whether they should sign Michael Vick.
According to General Manager Russ Brandon, the Bills aren’t interested in Vick…..at least “at this time”. At least that qualifier might leave the door open for some debate.
I know this may get me booted out of PETA, but I personally have no problem with the Bills or any other team signing Vick. And I think a lot of fans who say they have a problem with it are two-faced twits. (tweet that!)
Is Michael Vick an evil despicable human being? Who knows. We do know he did a despicable thing, got caught, and went to jail. But he served his time. Now the commissioner has opened the door for him to play again, and I think he should get a chance.
There are other players who went to jail and then went back to the NFL. One player killed someone while driving drunk….he served a lot less time in jail than Vick, was suspended half a season, and has been playing ever since. HE KILLED A PERSON!
Of all people, Terrell Owens is making sense on this topic. Buffalo’s biggest mouth said he wouldn’t mind having Vick as a teammate. (Of course he also compared Vick’s treatment by the league to “kicking a dead horse into the ground”….not the best analogy to use in this case. But let’s get back to the point)
Should an NFL team sign Vick? Absolutely. Will there be protests? You betcha. Big deal. Do you honestly think fans will cancel their season tickets? Fans are fans. We want our team to win. If Michael Vick could help the Bills win the Super Bowl, he’d get T.O.’s key to the city.
This is a business decision….pure and simple. Yes, there’s an emotional aspect….but it’s business. The team that needs Michael Vick will sign him. Period. And I don’t have a problem with that.

Vick improves the Bill's chances at a championship 10 fold.
