Michael Vick Deserves His Second Chance

Second chance..but only if your can punt..pass..or tackle..For the one's who don't possess such talents..it is a hopeless future..NO Company will hire you..that background thingy..Can't rent an apt..same reason..
I am glad he is given a second chance..I am glad the fu**ing Eagles signed his sorry azz..Another reason to hate the co**suckers...

Ketch, welcome back to the landry hat. I am glad I amuse you. That's a goal here; to amuse the masses.

thelandryhat, You amuse.
Clearly, you have yet to begin thinking with your prefrontal cortex.
It looks as if I must school you, again, as to what "second chance" means.
Second chance means rejoining the living free members of a society. It doesn't mean getting your old life back with the status you once held nor does it mean having your bank account replenished.
Because of our culture (codified law and codes of conduct), NFL owners are free to associate with whomever they want.  Jeffrey Laurie, owner of the Eagles, decided he wants to associate with Vick. So be it.
However, when we, all members of society, released Mike Vick through our surrogates, those of the legal system, all of us granted Mike Vick his "second chance".
Most likely, Mike Vick shall never regain the status he once had, a status conferred to him by the opinions of others of society.
You though, thelandryhat, amuse. You must be going through life with an IQ falling somewhere between 85 and 105.

Really LHat? You felt sick and woozy?

I agree with you though, it's too sad that our society cannot forgive others, but would surely seek forgiveness if they were to make a mistake.

Anybody here ever ring a chicken's neck? Not me, I could never do it - that might actually be something that could make someone woozy. Not for someone who grew up on a farm. They grew up doing it, even despite it being something that makes the large majority sick, it's natural to them. They could do it a thousand times and think nothing of it.

Vick grew up around dogfighting ok? Even as a small child. It's sad and unfortunate but true. That says a lot for his crimes ok? So stfu I can't believe you guys are being such pricks about it. You're just jealous he can  bounce back and you can't.

sad to see the day mVick steps on our new turf that bit*hmade ass mfer deservre to still be in jail

As a UVA and Dallas Cowboys fan, I have every reason to full-on hate the guy. But I don't. The guy is going to have to prove himself as an upstanding citizen AND that he still has the talent to play in the NFL. I think getting signed by a team was the easy part. Proving that he deserves to be in the league and on a very strong team like the Eagles will be the hard part. That being said, I hope to hand him two losses this year. Good luck, Mike.

come on ian, have some class. you are the one who sounds like a piece of shit by even saying that. u came on here one time and said that if the cowboys ever signed vick i would walk away from the team that i've followed forever, but i would still be a fan of the game. i do not agree, like, or stand what vick did. but he does deserve a second chance at life. he deserves to be forgiven. he deserves a shot at a rebuilding. to make a comment like that proves that you are the one that is really dispicable.

oh my. The return of Ian is a complete meltdown!

Michael Vick is a Piece of shit. This is the worst signing in Philadelphia Eagles history. Right now I am embarrassed to even be an Eagles fan.

I really hope Vick gets full blown AIDS and dies.

I really didn't want Vick as an Eagle, but now that he's here I am hoping he becomes, as Goodell said, one of the NFL's success stories.

Nice post, thelandryhat.

That's ridiculous, Ketch. If he has the talent, and plays, he deserves that opportunity. If he lost it, he'll not be around long in the NFL.

But, your statement is surely more whacked out than what I said.

Oops

Agree or disagree this is an interesting take

"Michael Vick paid his debt to society. It is time to move on." I DONT THINK SO. ITS HARD TO FORGET WHAT HE HAS DONE BEFORE. REALLY BLOODY AND CRUEL GUY. 

When someone gets released on parole, probation or pardon and thus joins again all of society, that is the second chance. Second chance means being allowed to live free, again.

Second chance does not mean getting your old life back, enjoying status and riches that you once had.

Perhaps you need to put down the Second Chance Kool-Aid cup of rhetoric and walk away.
