Well its pretty safe to say that the Detroit Lions will be improved this season ('09), even if they win 1 game that's 1 more than last season but the remaining teams (Chicago Bears/Green Bay Packers n particular) in the NFC North, as of tonight, have legitimate reasons to believe their chances of winning the Division and possibly getting a BYE in the first round of playoffs have increased since the 'shady of all shady' professional sports players in recent memory BRETT FAVRE has finally committed to playing for the Minnesota Vikings

I'm not ready to forget or dismiss the show Favre put on last season ('08) with the N.Y. Jets, he faded during the last 8 games, and with that image still blazed within my mind I'm certain he will put on the same type of performance this year for the Vikings.

Now that the shock and awe is almost over for the Michael Vick Experience lets get down to the real reason why most people should be in a Uproar over Vick and his re-instatement to the NFL. It has nothing to do with his crimes against animals, his jail sentence or if he's truly remorseful for his life-long activity involving dog-fighthing; at the end of the day you must give Vick his forgiven due and let him move on and live his life like any other convicted felon that has served his time and is now re-acclimating his/her self back into society. The bigger issue is will we forgive Vick for what he did on the field prior to being suspended by Commissioner Goodell? I say no  because he still is what we thought he was before, a player with great athleticism but average quarterback
