Marcus Vick dismissed from the team

[Texas Aggie]

It isn't the NFL owners' responsibility to deal with Vick's problems. Its their job to improve their team. If they feel Vick can do that, then they need to consider drafting him and offering him a contract. There is, however, a caveat. 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.
