He's gotten many more than two chances, and he killed a human, Susan Gutweiler. Susan was someone's mother. Leonard served 90 days in jail, got some probation, and did some community service. Several years later, Leonard was arrested again for drunk driving. He was acquitted. As of 2008, Leonard still played for the Rams. Michael Vick killed dogs, and as bad as that is, a dog isn't a person. Vick is getting way more attention for his crimes than Little ever received for his. Our response is inadequate compared to the crime IF we consider our past responses to NFL players committing worse crimes. Vick did many terrible things, but look around the NFL and you don't exactly see pillars of the community. I think he's sick, Vick I mean. To do what he did...sick. So, don't get me wrong. But let's wait and see what happens the next time an NFL player is involved with a violent crime. I hope the reaction is commensurate with the offence. Leonard Little. Please, look him up.

First, let me give you my qualifications. If you cut me, my blood oozes Eagle green. I was raised that men should live by two fundamental principles, 1. never stop routing for your team, despite the ups and downs a fan goes through, despite the good games and bad, the good coaches (Andy Reid, Buddy Ryan) and the bad (Rich Coatite and Ray Rodes), and 2. the Dallas cowboys suck. That being said, I just don’t get this move by the birds. I understand the philosophical point that people deserve a chance at redemption after they have served their time through the judicial system. I understand that Michael Vick appealed the commissioner of the NFL for the right to play and was granted that right. Who am I to sit in judgment and say Michael Vick can or can not do anything? I have not lived a morally perfect life and thus can’t judge a convicted felon for wanting to get his life back. But I can say not on my team. I can say not this year. I can say that I am sick to my stomach at the thought to cheering number seven on as he wears the green color that I love among all things. Let’s say that Vick didn’t get committed for killing dogs, I still would be against this move. He is the guy who gave an Atlanta fan the finger. He’s the guy who thought he was such an amazing athlete that he never needed to learn how to complete a pass. Well thanks Eagles for once again giving me a reason to start thinking the real “birds” of football play in Baltimore. And Dallas sucks. So I have some things to say about the Vick pick up.
