I think the 4 game suspension is stupid. What metric did Goodell use to determine 4 games was appropriate? Did he look at everything that's happened to Vick since his conviction and say, yeah, that's about right, but I think we should throw on 4 more weeks just because. Obviously, his jail sentence aside, a 4 week suspension is waaay too light for Vick's crimes. But he's been put through the wringer over the past 2 years. Why a 4 game suspension at this point? Makes no sense to me.

If he gets a 4 game suspension, I think it is more for the blunt in your face lies to Goodell when this whole thing began for Vick. I don't think Goodell has forgotten those, nor just set them aside. I really have no problem with any decision Goodell makes, if he clears him with probationary period or if he suspends him for 1 year. Either way Vick will get a chance to go back to being in the NFL at ungodly wages. Not sure how many other convicted felons get that opportunity.
As many have stated, if he can come back, good for him, just not here on the Skins!
