Will He Be Worth It?

It's simply coincidence that I'm doing doing two dog posts in a row, but this story caught my eye.

The other I day heard pundits on a halftime show saying that Michael Vick will end up with the Dallas Cowboys next year. Vick's due to be released from prison in July, 2009, after a stint for dogfighting charges.

Yesterday, more bad news about Vick. From The Smoking Gun:

In the most disturbing account yet of Michael Vick's dogfighting operation, a federal investigative report details how the disgraced athlete killed pit bulls by hanging them from a nylon cord nailed to a tree and drowned others in a five gallon bucket of water.

Apparently Vick lied about killing dogs, saying he had only watched it happen. But then he flunked a polygraph and had to come clean with the FBI.

Will any football team think this guy's worth having around, whether for moral or PR reasons? The signs in the stands, the booing and jeers, and the negative interviews are going to be intense, with good reason.
