I think it's time for Vick to return. I was predicting that Washington would sign him.I also thought that his sentence was fair. While he should be allowed a second chance in the NFL, his crime was certainly heinous and reflected depravity.

The key factor in the gravity of the sentence had not so much to do with the value of the dogs, but the calculated cruelty that Vick systematically inflicted upon animals without remorse.


I've heard a lot of people say that what Dontae Stallworth and Leonard Little was worse because human lives were lost. This is apples and oranges. Even though Stallworth and Little committed serious crimes, these crimes were not intntional and reflected poor judgment. Vick's crimes reflected sheer malice. The result of the loss of human life is more devastating than the loss of the anmals' lives, but the intentof the act makes Vick's crimes more despicable.
