NFL Fans: Do you hope your team gives Michael Vick a chance?

After he gets out of prison next year for dog fighting?

    Absolutely not...(Panther fan here, by-the-way...I'm from NC..and my family owns seats at the stadium in Charlotte)...

    I would ask my family to sell their seats (and season passes) if the Panthers were to pick him up...

    Vick is a grown man...not a child..who knew VERY WELL what he was doing was not only illegal but, IMHO, immoral. He had the world "by the tail" and could have been an NFL legend...yet, he succumbed to greed and thought he was above the law...

    He needs to go out and try to make an HONEST living..like the rest of us...when he gets out...he also should be made to work at the ASPCA or somewhere similar for FIVE YEARS after he gets out...

    All, just IMHO, of course..

    When he gets out of jail, I think he needs to earn his way back in the NFL. I think he should be suspended for a certain amount of time before coming straight back.

    College seniors have to sit out a year if they want to make a deal with a particular team. They can't just leave college and go straight to a team. It's sort of an "NFL Penalty" for not going threw the draft process.

    Personally, no way. Right now, he has dug himself so deep that he's willing to do anything for money when he gets out, so make him earn his way back. Make him participate for a certain amount of time with the SPCA or some other company that helps animals.

    Well my team is the Falcons, so no. We've moved on and aren't looking back. And I hope all the other teams leave him in the dust as well, but someone will take him when he gets out I think.

    No at all! My team already has a QB. But even if they needed one, I would not want Michael Vick on my team.

    Everyone deserves a second chance, but for Atlanta Falcons to take him back into the team, that maybe a no-brainer decision to make as to whether he's still needed at the club. The decision still lies with the NFL club though.

    Cheers :)

    I hope someone else gives him a chance, so that my team can crush him on the field. That's about the extent of my desire to see Vick in the league again.

    I totally think a team should give him a chance. We all make mistakes and some people have done worse and have been forgiven. I am pretty sure that while he is in prison he is thinking about how this has destroyed his career and how stupid it was. He was a good player and should be given another chance

    Givin that "my team" is the Lions, heck ya I do. Man what else does this team have to lose? Already about to lose every single game they play this season

    Sure he can sweep the parking lot after my team wins a big game. But that is as close as i want him to the stadium.

    Well, why should i need him when my teams got the BEST quarterback in this day and age ?

    Hes nothing compared to Peyton Manning.

    Plus, i dont want a "Mike Tyson-playing-football" in my team....

    I heard he was sodomized inside, so my guess is he won't play football anymore.
