Not surprised

Is anyone really shocked with Michael Vick?

How many more one-finger salutes does the guy have to give before people actually come to their senses and realize this is a truly disturbed individual?

Vick entered a plea deal partly because his defense team raised the white flag and partly because he knew deep down that this was his only chance at getting back on a NFL field.

Now Vick's supporters will scream to the hills that Vick may not have been at the dogfighting matches (Is that what they're called?). But, the indictment soiled the speedy quarterback's future at least for the next 1-2 years.

And if procuring a dog genocide on his property isn't enough, it has been a string of events that has followed this strange family.

Remember Vick's impressionable younger brother Marcus? Well, when he was a quarterback at Virginia Tech, he stomped on a Clemson players throat which resulted in a melee between the two schools.

Michael should not be allowed back in the NFL. Especially the new and improved NFL that commissioner Roger Goodall is trying to clean up. As if Vick didn't learn from Pacman Jones and Tank Johnson, Vick is now going to have to pay a penalty not just for the sickly acts he did to dogs, but also for bankrolling a gambling ring.

And I applaud Goodall for waiting for the Feds. After Vick is taken to the cleaners by the those guys, he's going to implement his own punishment and don't expect it to concurrently while he serves his legal time.

Vick has to learn that the street punk is no longer vogue. It's OK to be an upstanding citizen, even if that means cutting ties to your boys who you've been friends with since high school.

He's 27 years old. It's high time he takes responsibility for his actions and starts being a man.

Because it's obvious that his mother failed miserably.
