Other JohnI don't really want to see him back either, but, there are also some other NFL players who should be out of the league too for their actions. If Vick is kept out, but people like Leonard Little and Ray Lewis are still playing, it will signal a terrible hipocracy for the NFL. If they kick one person like Vick out for his actions, they should do it for others too.

Jay JonesI don't know what fans you are referring to in this article, but many of us in Atlanta want Vick back on the team. The media is so biased, just amazing.
