Quotable:

“If real estate is all about ‘location, location, location.’ Michael Vick’s(notes) comeback is going to be all about “perception, perception, perception”. So far, it’s not going so well for the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback.

MJD is absolutely correct when he wrote earlier today that Michael Vick hitting up a strip club on his first evening of freedom doesn’t mean much, other than the fact that a recently freed man wanted to see some ladies. I agree. Going to a strip joint has no bearing on Vick’s remorse, his desire to change or his worthiness to rejoin the NFL. The problem is, our opinion doesn’t matter. Roger Goodell’s does, and it wouldn’t be at all surprising if he considered Vick’s choice of venue for his release celebration to be a strike against his comeback bid.

Put yourself in Roger Goodell’s shoes. The only things on which you can base your decision for Vick’s reinstatement are Vick’s words and actions. The former is worthless, seeing as how Vick lied to your face two years ago. And the latter is only slightly less difficult to gauge. Short of rolling around with three generations of Lassie or moving to Calcutta to continue to the works of Mother Teresa, there’s little Vick can do to demonstrate change, other than to continue to stay out of trouble. So what can Goodell base his decision on? The little things, like going to a strip club on the night of a release from house arrest.” – Chris Chase
