#1 I don't think you need to be an animal rights wacko to find Michael Vick repulsive--I think you need only be a human being.

#3 Well coming up with the position that one can not reform and must be hounded for the rest of their lives for stupid acts, let's make sure that the principle is applied to animal rights activist who engage in criminal and terrorist acts, as well as those who make excuses for their actions or obstruct law enforcement in tracking them down.

#4 Or just for being a plain old terrorist, like Bill Ayers.

#7 Yeesh. I live in Virginia, and this was considered the lead news story last night. (Not the lead sports story, the lead news story.)

What this inquiring mind wants to know is, can't I get away from this crap anywhere?

#8 Who said he couldn't be "reformed"? I simply object to giving millions of dollars to an immoral savage. He's NOT the only black man who can throw a football. Find somebody else.

#9 Dog fighting is big in Philly so no surprise when the city of brotherly thugs embraces him.

Count on the fans to be chanting his name mid-season after McNabb makes one too many worm-killer throws.

#10 The article doesn't even mention a huge group who supports Michael Vick as the Philadelphia Eagles backup backup quarterback.

New York Giants fans...

#11 The Iggles go 3 and 13, and a PETA-led boycott will be the least of their worries ...

#12 As is often the case, Badanov nails it. The sports experts have endlessly discussed which teams would be best for Vick -- including my beloved Pats. But as QBs go, Vick is just a bad QB: Cordell Stewart with a mean streak.

Mike nails it on the bigger picture. Even though I hate pitbulls and their owners, I can't see executing them for underperformance (under the same reasoning why is Vick allowed to resume his career?).

A step backward for both the Eagles and for Western Civ.

#13 I look forward to hearing that the Eagles tank and that Vick gets demoted to stadium sweeper.

#14 Vick needs to find out if any of his interior linemen have ever owned a dog.
