Vick reinstated by NFL

The NFL has reinstated Michael Vick on a conditional basis, the league announced Monday. The former Falcons QB will be considered for full reinstatement and to play in regular-season games by Week 6

I am glad to see this. I hate what he did but he did his time.

So he can't play until week six?

Goodell really needs to go.

Ummm, sounds like he's not actually reinstated - only conditionally so that he can participate in training camp.

NFL conditionally reinstates Vick | ProFootballTalk.com

Quote:
Per the release, he is eligible to participate "without delay" in training camp, and he may play in the final two preseason games played by the team with which he signs.

And he won't be suspended to start the season in the traditional sense. Instead, he will be permitted to participate in all team activities other than games.

Vick then will be eligible for full reinstatement by Week Six.

So, as a practical matter, it's a five-game suspension. (Depending on the bye week schedule of the team that signs him, Vick could miss only four games.)

It's says he can be reinstated BY week 6, which means he could be reinstated before then...I want to see what happens to him now...

This ruling seems fair to me; you obviously disagree. Care to elucidate?

He was being just slightly facietious, AND really taking a well deserved shot at Commisioner Closeau. A two-fer.

Why doesn't the NFL just drop any pretense of having morals and admit anything for a buck? As much as I love football and the Pats I despise the NFL.
