        <body>Again, this isn't an issue of him being black.  I am sick of that being the comment one makes. Isn't it a little over played? Couldn't one come up with something a little bit more original? I mean come on!!!</body>

        <body>I disagree with the statement that people want to bring Vick down because he is black. It wouldn't be any different if he were white, asian, a woman, or someone who made minimum wage. What he and his cohorts did was inhumane, cruel, and unfathomable by the common man. He should be suffering just as the dogs suffered. Why should he get do what he loves and get paid for it when he was making money off of something that involved killing something that was living?

        <body>Are you freaking kidding me?  This has nothing to do with him being BLACK, it has something to do with him doing something so disturbing and inhumane that no matter what color you are you should go to prison forever.  That is what should happen, he should be in prison for the rest of his life, and never be allowed to see the sunrise again.  What he did to those dogs was unbelievable, I mean who could do such a thing to an innocent animal.  I pray to God every night that he goes down for this.</body>

        <body>Wow, its really great to see all the football fans saying he's guilty. he hasn't been convicted of anything. there is no physical evidence connecting him to these crimes. there's here-say, which will NOT hold up in a court of law. All the evidence right now is along the lines of, &amp;quot;I was there and I saw Michael Vick do...... and ....... and also......&amp;quot;. this is ridiculous. IF he is convicted and thats a HUGE if, he should be suspended for FOUR games. Pac-man got suspended for the year, which could be reduced to EIGHT games, when he was involved with a shooting that left a HUMAN paralyzed. He's could possibly sit out only 8 games for being a part of a shooting that left a man paralyzed, and Michael Vick should be suspended for the year, and released? GET REAL PEOPLE!!</body>

  <body>Given that a federal grand jury has indicted Michael Vick in connection with a dog fighting investigation, what do you think the NFL should do? Should commissioner Roger Goodell wait until the case is resolved before doling out any punishment? Should the Falcons begin heading in another direction on the chance that Vick might be convicted and draw a suspension?&amp;nbsp; Can the Matt Schaub trade be rescinded?</body>
