3. If Michael Vick is playing that would be enough for me to watch, but I hope the UFL is better than ARENA football because that s#it stunk.

5. Michael Huyghue is a black commisioner. To date there has never been a black commissioner of the NFL. The NFL did not support Michael. If anyone used Michael, it was the NFL. They used him and then dropped him. Whether Michael Vick plays with the United Football or not, I wish the league the best. I hope others will support Michael Huyghue, who is the black commissional of the United Football League. If you will go to a website and look up michael Hugyhue you will discover he is more than qualified. At one time he was an admiistrator with the NFL.

6. that would be good for him to play in the UFL to keep him out of big league for a while i have faith he do better before he go back to the big league with the big guys

7. I am an extreme animal lover but even I think this man deserves another chance. People need to realize that we all come from different backgrounds and if you grow up seeing something is acceptable then that is what you know. Why not use this as an opportunity to educate people. If everybody continues to attack him we can expect dog fighting to stay undercover because of the fear of being labeled an outcast instead of trying to educate and rehabilitate.

8. The situation is still FUUU*KED up! Now he has to be reduced to the UFL, cause the NFL f@$ed him and got what they needed/wanted? Saving face with animal rights activist? B.S. If I was Vick I'd tell them all to Go-to-hell. We all know, and I will say it again, if he was white, he wouldn't be in this situation. Better yet, if he was a white man with missing and dead wives he'd be at home chillin (Drew Peterson)! It's all good, those racist at the top will get what they deserve! Pay Back is a Bi-otch! FREE VICK NOW

9. MIKE VICK IS A VERY TALENTED ATHELETE AND ANY TIME YOU HAVE SUCH TALENT AS HIS AROUND, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE WITH MONEY WHO WANTS TO MAKE MORE MONEY BY USING HIM. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. MR. CUBAN OR WHOEVER OWNS THE TEAMS SEES SOME MONEY TO BE MADE AND UNFORTUNATELY MR. VICK HAS PUT HIMSELF IN YET ANOTHER SITUATION TO BE MISUSED BY THESE SPORTS MOGULS TO BE MISUSED. VERY SAD HOW PEOPLE WITH MONEY TAKE EVERY ADVANTAGE THEY SNIFF OUT TO MISUSE AND ABUSE THOSE WITH TALENT BUT NO GOOD JUDGEMENT. ALL I SEE IS ANOTHER FORM OF MODERN DAY SLAVERY IN THIS SO-CALLED DEMOCRACY WE LIVE AND FALSELY PREACH!

10. I am very glad to hear some positive about Mike....I look at TI getting caught with all those guns...50cent supposedly burning down a house with a child (his child) and others in it.... countless others running dogfights, cockfights, horse-racing, dog-racing,etc. RKelly abusing young girls (as so many in the music industry) I felt sorry for him the moment this mess went down...How PETA and other Animal Rights organizations destroyed this man and if you look deeper at these people who claim they love animals, they are no better than a person that abuses them....I see it everyday....Dogs chained up under the deck (like my neighbor, who is a police officer), dogs chained because owner's don't have a fenced yard, but they love dogs....dog owners allowing their dogs to run through the neighborhood and messing up the neighbor's yards....putting dogs in cages, never walking them for exercise, feeding dogs table food causing bad health (my sister, who is a DOG LOVER and hated Vick), never taking their pets to the vet for check-ups (animals are like children and they need medical care), never getting them properly groomed... I can go on and on. I think some people took what happened with Mike Vick to the extreme and it is a damn shame he was used as an example...for what? I don't know...It seems we are so hell bent on destroying someone who is earning money because of his hard work...but so many "silent" criminals out there getting away with murder.
But you know, he will come out the better....he paid for his wrongs, more than some people do.

11. I agree with you wholeheartedly, Renee. I too am an avid animal lover (and vegan) but you're right, a lot of people grow up believing that activities like dogfighting, hunting, and hell, even killing animals for the flesh that we eat is perfectly acceptable. It's time to re-educate our society as a whole but in the meantime, Michael Vick has paid his debt to society and should be allowed back into the NFL. Until that day comes I'll be happy to watch him play in this new league.

12. I agree with Renee and Khadija. When I was young, having a no nonsense dog was a status symbol in the neighborhood. If you put millions of dollars in a someone's hand, he's gonna do what he wants to do. They were more worried about his football education than his life education. He just bought toys he could afford, and everything was alright until the powers that be in Atlanta had had enough. They took WAYYYY too much from him.

EVEN BAMA HUSSIN LABAMA, WHATEVER, HAS USED THE RACE CARD.600 YEARS, AND YOUR OWN PEOPLE SOLD YOU OUT.HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT THE AMERICAN INDIANS THINK ?? I DOUGHT IT.........
