Now that it has been determined that someone as callous and devoid of care as Vick ,can be re-instated I think Pete Rose should also be forgiven for a much less serious offense.I think the NFL has put MLB in a difficult position.Vick shouldn't come back if Rose can't.I smell a racial divide on this one.Whites are always held to a higher standard.

And then there's just the simple economics of the thing, Vick can still play, Rose can't. Look at all the other players that MLB has given a pass - why not Rose?

I agree with you Jack.I understand Rose lied,but at least he was betting on his team to win and wasn't trying to alter the outcome of the game so his team would lose.The NFL seems to have a larger threshold for bad behavior.Pete Rose needs to be in the Hall of Fame.He was Charlie Hustle after all and gave to the game a lot more than he ever received.Burress,Pac-man Jones,Stallworth just to name some of the newest morons the NFL just can't do without,should all be banned.I'm sure Vick will think about those dogs every time he gets in his Bentley,NOT.

It is ironic I’ve used Rose as an example raising my kids; you don’t ever walk when you can run. Hustle is the name of the game of life. Rose made mistakes; baseball has always been unforgiving back to the Black Sox days, the NFL has always had a lower standard. Vick should not be forgiven Rose should.
