I remember reading a post awhile ago about the same thing, before he was reinstated. I remember everyone else thinking that he wouldnt play because of the animal rights picketers and bad press etc.; but what everyone always forgets... is money. People will undoubtedly pay big bucks to see this guy play, particular after all the hype hes been getting. The games he plays in will be watched more than if this had never happened, which means more money for advertising spots, which means more money for NFL and more money for the cable stations running the games. He couldve done any number of things, dogfighting, murder, drugs, DUI, any of em. With the amount of press coverage he got (especially with the sports stations) its almost as if its simply a ploy to make money. Coincidence: Michael Jacksons death coverage which was and is EVERYWHERE, has spiked sales of everything that has to do with him. The idiot SHEEPLE, see it in the news, and then buy it. Whatever it is. Jackson, Vick, whatever; its in the news and people will buy. And its been so oversaturated, that i guarentee you when he does play, you will see record ratings for people watching, and cost of advertising on radio and TV during the games

I personally could care less whether or not he plays, but it just irritates me that sportcenter and nesn and everything are beatin this story like a dead horse. Its almost done JUST SO that when he comes back more people will watch.... Anyone else see the correlation of the media and the income for these large companies?? I certainly hope some do.... cause i wont be watching vick, or buying michael jackson anything... ya see... im not a sheepple, and i hope u all arent either.
