| 79.76% | No | |
| 20.23% | Yes |
Comment: It would be a disgrace for the Patriots to sign him up! Guaranteed there will be a lot less fans! from westbrook by becky
Comment: Micheal had a wonderful life and started a dogfighing ring in his spare time.I have a pitbull myself and she is the most beautiful and loving animal.There is no reason for animal cruelty and I never thought I would hear about a great star like Vick to be part of it. I don't think he would be a good asset to our great team Patriots. from Auburn,ME by Nicole
Comment: VICK IS A TOXIC ASSET. I will be quite furious with my team if they take on that monster. He might have good football skills, but he has no business being offered to our kids as a role model. from Standish by Stephanie
Comment: I do not think any time should consider him at all. They would be sending a message that it is okay to be an animal abuser. He should be banned from the NFL. from Casco, ME by Lisa
Comment: There is no problem with it. He got in trouble for it. It's over with. It is in the past. Just let's forget about it Not worth throwing a fit about him joining a team. It's the team's choice not ours. from Maine by Danielle
Comment: we dont need the trouble he would bring with him. from lewiston me by david
Comment: The patriots don't need or want a low life like Vick anywhere near Foxboro. He is a cancer to the game that should be removed. If the Patriots were to pick him up I would turn in my tickets and never watch the team again. from Wiscasset by Gary
Comment: ABSOLUTLY NOT,HE NEEDS COUNSELING FOR YEARS,NO ONE IN THERE RIGHT MIND DOES WHAT HE DID,IT IS TELLING THE YOUNG KIDS U PRETTY MUCH CAN DO WHAT EVER.WHAT IF THAT WERE KIDS HE DID THAT TOO,THEY WERE A LIVING THING,NO NO NO from new gloucester by debbi
Comment: Where is the justice? What about the dogs that he abused? Michael Vick should pay his dues and playing for the NE Patriots will only serve for him to resume his "hobby". Pats fans deserve more respect, NE stands for integrity. from Bath, ME by Mary
Comment: im a huge Patriots fan and I would be extremely dissapointed for them even considering that. He should not be able to play ever again. He's a good player, but made horrible choices that he shouldn't be rewarded for. from windham by alyssa
Comment: NO!! If he did not get caught, he would still be running dog fights. What is done to those dogs is unforgivable. He and those who bet on them can't possibly have hearts. It is not only that they make the dogs fight....it's what they do to the dogs that 'don't do well'....such as douse them with water and electrocute them, among other horrible things. As far as I am concerned, he wasn't in jail near long enough. from biddeford, Maine by sue
Comment: Criminal record aside, why would the Patriots ever consider this??? There is nothing logical about this media driven rumour. from Dayton by Remi
Comment: Emphatically NO! from Rotonda West, Florida by Sharon
Comment: If Vick rejoins the NFL in any way, on any team, I will no longer watch or support the NFL. What kind of example does this set for the future society?(the kids) from Greene by Dave
Comment: Yes, I would like to replace our 3-time Super Bowl winning QB with a dog killing scumbag. from Maine by Anonymous
Comment: This man is the last that we would want. IMHO, he is the worst example of a scumbag, and is not likely to change his spots. The very idea that he would be considered as role model by impressionable children worries me greatly. from Lisbon, ME by Morgan
Comment: no!!dogman should stay with his other sport.lol from biddeford maine by joe
Comment: Pats need a back up quarter back and the pats have a good structure to mold Vick into a better person... Vick has been suspended from football for two years let him play and he has paid his debt... lets move on and let him move on.... from South China by Denis
Comment: You've got to be kidding me! Any team that even thinks of signing the DOG KILLER is committing social suicide. I asure you I will not be a Patriots fan for the first time in my life if they sign him. from Cape Elizabeth, Maine by Leroy
Comment: everyone should be able to have a 2nd chance in life and no one is perfect, because you go to jail or prison does not mean that person is a bad person. from biddefors, maine.04005 by james
