Sorry, don't see what his crime has to do with his ability to play football. He was a great player before serving his time and hasn't been doing that badly since he came back. I can't say I think he is worth his salary, but, then, I don't think Brady, James, Jeter, et al., are worth their salaries, either. Athletes are way overpaid today. The fans stated that these salaries were okay by paying the higher ticket prices and by buying the products advertised during the games and by the athletes. So, until fans and television sponsors say enough is enough, these salaries will continue. Don't like 'em? Start boycotting. But leave the crime issue out of it -- Vicks did his time. Not only that, he has since come out strongly against dog fighting and it sounds like he truly regrets his prior acts.
