One of my goals of this blog is to provide fellow Sports Widows a topic every day or so for dinnertime conversation. Who really has time to follow ESPN or SI all day to find out the latest news in sports? So here you go, the first installation of the Dinnertime Conversation Topic.
Michael Vick. Say his name and people seem to have an instant reaction. (In case you don't remember, he was the Atlanta Falcons quarterback who was arrested for dog fighting). He recently got out of jail and is trying to get back into football.
The first question is - should he be allowed to get his job back after such an atrocious crime? (The Commissioner has given him an "indefinite suspension").
Second question - if he is allowed back into football, which team will sign him and when? (Today, Tony Dungy - a well-respected former coach and mentor to Michael Vick - said he thinks Michael Vick will be signed by the end of the week).
What does your Sports Addict think? :)

I was glad they let him back. To be honest, I was mad that they gave him jail time when they gave a woman beater (aka chris brown) community service. So now we put people in jail for hurting animals but let people off the hook for hurting other people!?! I think he has paid for his crime and I'm glad he's getting a chance to right a wrong and turn over a new leaf. I saw that he signed with the Eagles, it'll be a tough crowd for him.
