This is funny. However I called it back when he got into trouble that he would need to do some sort of commercials for PETA in order to win some people over and get back into the league. Perhaps even donate money but he has none. lol. Maybe he can strike a deal where part of his earnings go to PETA for like the next 3 yrs or something. I also figured the courts would put something in place that he had to be a spokesman for them, but last I heard PETA said they didn't want him as a spokesman. lol.
Oh well, good for him. Maybe he can finally put some of this behind him and get back into the league somewhere as a back up due to age.

Wow, one extreme to another. PETA are some crazy mofo's and commit more controversy than dog fighting in its entirety. The only upside would be his constant involvement with the public would help to improve his image. As far as this debate about position is concerned, I am a huge Hokies fan and would love to see him as a QB somewhere. Even if he has to be a backup at first. He is an animal and has an intense work ethic and I think he could excel and be an asset to almost any team.

Did you ever stop and think that maybe some good will come of these ads? Maybe it will stop people from dog fighting cause they'll see the punishment if they're caught. I think it's a good idea.
I'm like truth, justice and the American way.........
Not deception, politcal correctness, and say whatever is necessary to generate some $$$$$-that is what his is about
bad guy=bad deal

Vick scares me to death these days because he seems exactly like the type of guy Vinny would go after. "he was the best player available!!!" Thanks Vinny.

What is the difference then an X gang member working with kids to keep them out of trouble then MV doing stuff with PETA. It is very common for people to do stuff like this after getting out of jail.

I hope he gets another shot somewhere. I think the guy took more heat than he deserved. It would be interesting to see him come back as a WR or RB, because I honestly think coming back to play QB is going to be a steep uphill climb. He would probably need to ride the pine for a while.
I could see him being a WR and/or KR/PR. He probably would've benefitted by becoming a WR or DB out of college. Still can't believe that he got the contract he did though, but yeah, he's done his time.

PETA performs euthanasia at a higher rate than most shelters.

Lighten up. He's paid his debt to society and hit rock bottom. He did a terrible thing but life moves on. He deserves another shot if someone is willing to give him one. No one is going to hand him anything. Look around the NFL at all the poor QB play. Teams are desperate to win and someone will probably give him a chance. Afterall Leonard Little is still playing.
I don't see where I am too hard on him that I should "lighten up". I said if he can go through camp and win a job, then let him have it. The key is for him to WIN THE JOB. If he's good enough to be an NFL Qb for someone because he beat out the others, then let him play.

The world gets stranger every day.
This is actually mild for the nutjobs in PETA.

Truth. They've been caught several times disposing of pets by the dumpster-full.
Sick hypocrites.
