NFL Reinstates Michael Vick: Who Will Sign Him?

Hey Zeus. Former Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick was reinstated today by the same guy who kicked his ass out of the NFL indefinitely back in August of 2007 for running and making money off an illegal dog fighting operation.
Yep. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has given 'Bad Newz' Vick the green light to play ball and if there is a team out there interested in signing him, he can jump right into preseason practices, workouts and meetings and be ready to take to the field for the start of the upcoming football season.
"Needless to say, your margin for error is extremely limited," Goodell said in a letter to Vick. "I urge you to take full advantage of the resources available to support you and to dedicate yourself to rebuilding your life and your career. If you do this, the NFL will support you."
Uh huh. So what did Vick have to say for himself? According to the Associated Press, the first source to report on Vick's reinstatement, Vick had this to say:
"As you can imagine, the last two years have given me time to re-evaluate my life, mature as an individual and fully understand the terrible mistakes I have made in the past and what type of life I must lead moving forward," Vick said through his agent Joel Segal. "Again, I want to thank the commissioner for the chance to return to the game I love and the opportunity to become an example of positive change."
Uh huh.
So what do you think? Would you want Michael Vick on YOUR team? Has the guy done enough to beg for our forgiveness? And how much time and money has he given to dog shelters and the likes -- by way of making up for all the HELL that he's put so many canines through?
On behalf of the Bodog Beat, let me just say that this whole thing stinks.
