The Mike Vick Saga

With Vick being released from federal custody and finishing his debt to society as of Monday it is being reported that he will be looking to get back in the NFL within the next few weeks. Roger Goodell is possibly meeting with Vick as early as Thursday to discuss his reinstatement back into the league. I am having mixed feelings about this one and don't know where I fully stand. The whole time he was in prison I was glad to see him there and I thought that Goodell should ban him for one more year after Vick got out just because I thought what he did was so screwed up, but now that he is out and free I don't know if my feelings are that strong anymore. I still think what he did was terrible, but it wouldn't upset me to see him back in the league this year. People keep saying that he paid his debt to society so he should be allowed to work again, but for me to agree with that I would have to agree that 2 years in prison is a harsh enough punishment and I don't know if I do. I don't think the the justice system always makes the right call in fact many times I think it is a bunch of crap and too soft so therefore I don't agree that he has paid his debt to society. Again though, I wouldn't be outraged if he was reinstated this year. What are your thoughts?
