Not just repentance, but redemption. Vick seems genuinely contrite and has paid his debt to society. It goes without saying that he owes nothing to the shrieking harridans at PETA. His crimes didn’t involve the NFL in any way. And, as bad as they were, they were against dogs, not humans. I don’t see why the NFL should keep Vick off the field, myself.
Perhaps the cruelist acts we as humans perform are those against living things that cannot defend themselves, have no one to speak for them, have no hope of rescue.
Cruelty to animals reveals a cruel human. Is he remorseful for what he did or because he was exposed, received some punishment and lost a lot of money. If Mr. Vick is truly remorseful, let’s see a big chunk of his salary pledged to the ASPCA. While I wait for that revelation, no game including the Eagles will be watched in my home.

The man did his time. Let him play, and if his behavior is really under control, he’ll be successful. If it’s not, he’ll crash again. It’s up to him.

He’s “remorseful” because he got caught and because he wants to make a lot of money, nothing more, nothing less.
