I think for most people they have no idea how they will feel about Michael Vick once he's done serving his time. A lot of that will depend on how Vick conducts himself.
If he shows true repentance in most peoples minds then I think almost anything is possible.
True enough I think that the world likes to bring down those who've made mistakes. But the world also absolutely loves a comeback story and Vick's situation has lots of potential in that arena.
I think folks who declare he'll never play again in the league because of his now horrific reputation are too focused on today and not recognizing how quickly things can change.
But its all dependant on how Vick responds from here.
He might come back in a better frame of mind because he learned a good lesson, but what you might be forgetting (by calling those of us out that he won't ever play again) is that he will be away from football for a long time, and he was never that good to begin with! Hey, I feel sorry for the punk, I really do...but I just don't see any way a team will go after him! How could they? For one, he's now a "felon"? (not that the NFL cares about that though). Did you know that most felons cannot even get good paying jobs because they cannot be trusted?
Vick is not going to hone his mad football skillz in prison, I guarantee you that! If anything, he might become a worse person by hanging with other criminals, especially if the other criminals try to hang with him. Also, who knows, there might be some crazed lifer criminal that wants to make a name for himself in prison and stick a #2 pencil in Vicks chest and break it off!
Vick has seen his best days...it's all downhill from here...
Good luck, Vick...you are going to need it!
