Michael Vick could be back on the field by October. IF he finds a team that'll take him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Vick was conditionally reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday and could play in regular season games as early as October.
Vick can immediately participate in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and can play in the final two preseason games -- if he can find a team that will sign him. A number of teams have already said they would not.
Goodell suspended Vick indefinitely in August 2007 after the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback admitted bankrolling the ''Bad Newz Kennels'' dogfighting operation. Goodell said then that Vick must show remorse and signs that he has changed before he would consider reinstating him.
Once the season begins, Vick may participate in all team activities except games, and Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 (Oct. 18-19).

The man's crimes were dispicable, and I have grave doubts that he will ever fully understand that fact. But he paid his dues, so it is high time for him to report to the Vikings' training camp...
