I can finally agree with something T.O. has said. He made his feelings known on the Mike Vick situation. Terrell Owens wants Michael Vick to be reinstated immediately by the NFL, and said any extension of the quarterback’s suspension would be similar to "kicking a dead horse." the star receiver referred to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s handling of Vick’s status as "unfair." Owens also lobbied to have more of the league’s high-profile players voicing their opinion in support of Vick. "I think he’s done the time for what he’s done. I don’t think it’s really fair for him to be suspended four more games," Owens said, referring to reports that the NFL is considering to further punish Vick. "It’s almost like kicking a dead horse in the ground. ... The guy’s already suffered so much. And to add a four-game suspension on a two-year prison sentence, that’s ridiculous." I did not stop agreeing with him there, as he echoed the same thing I said a few days ago. Owens said Vick deserves a second chance. "Why shouldn’t he? I mean, there’s a lot more guys around the league that have done far more worst things than that and gotten second chances," Owens said. Although, I believe his real motive was he was trying to lobby Vick to the Bills. Owens said he would welcome Vick as a teammate. "Michael Vick is a guy that really hasn’t any character issues besides what he got a prison sentence for, so why not?" he said.
