I believe history has shown that bad behavior can mean more trouble for a team than whatever the upside is. See Lawrence Phillips. Thus, an NFL owner that thinks he 1) has an easy score in Vick and/or 2) can ignore his transgressions might very well pay dearly for it down the road.
It is amazing how professional sports organizations will take on players when if the same person were applying for an office job in the organization, and had the job skills relative to that of the player's on field skills, how bad behavior would eliminate him from any job consideration.

I have to disagree with you. It is their responsibility. They are taking a troubled youth and going to pay him Millions of dollars. He may kill somebody or himself or many other issues could happen. They need to responsibly help this kid before worst things happen. One of the best things that could happen is that he never gets a chance to play in the NFL. Has he earned the right to play in the NFL after his cureent college issues?
This a major society problem. People have to understand and learn right from wrong. Then learn to take responsibility from themselves. If any NFL owner cannot see this kid has no clue about right and wrong and lying. Why give him millions and send him out of control?
