Falcons owner Arthur Blank said he has been in touch with Michael Vick. "Michael has written a couple times. I've written him back," Blank said. "We have that kind of relationship. Despite the mixture of frustration, anger and disappointment in him, I believe in second chances and redemption. I would love to see Michael pay his debt to society and come out and play again in the NFL. I think he could also be a big help to ... speak to people about some of his choices."

I'm a Falcons fan and this really frustrates me. The only contact Blank should have with this guy is to try and get some of his money back.

They were discussing plays for the Mean Machine vs. Guards game. He was telling him Rae Caruth has not lost a step either.

The man is in jail. He's lost pretty much everything he has. What does Blank lose by spending 5 mins to write a letter to the man?

That was surely your first post here, and surely your first post complaining, right?

This is the same as if he wrote to a murderer. People would be outraged then, no different in my eyes.

April 2, 2008  08:03 AM ET

Well, if people are "outraged" by it, they perhaps need a bit mroe in their lives to occupy them. All I can work up is a derisive snort.

Oh, for the love of.........Arthur Blank wrote Vick some letters, he didn't bake him a cake with a file inside. If he wants to keep the lines of communication with Vick open, so what.

AND LET THE 'RACE' BEGIN!!!!!!

This has NOTHING to with Race. Enough already. Whenever a black man is criticized, it's race. get over it.

This is called, missing the point.

If you think this thread will go on all day without one "Black people are thugs" comment....... well, you're in the wrong 'Nation'!

.....and exactly what am I 'getting over'?

of course it won't. That's sad, but that's how some people feel. Personally, I think he is a **** for what he did...no matter the color.
Why wouldn't Arthur Blank write to him? I am sure that he wants Vick to come back to the Falcons when he gets out, so keep the lines open.

April 2, 2008  08:23 AM ET

oh censored...nice. it's s*cumbag
