Q: Have you been in touch with Michael Vick?

A: Michael has written a couple times. I've written him back. We have that kind of relationship. Despite the mixture of frustration, anger and disappointment in him, I believe in second chances and redemption. I would love to see Michael pay his debt to society and come out and play again in the NFL. I think he could also be a big help to ... speak to people about some of his choices.

Q: Would you welcome him back to the Falcons?

A: I would not say yes. I would not say no. At this point, Michael is in a federal penitentiary [on a dogfighting conviction] and is suspended from football. We have to move forward. We are moving forward. We have to assume he's not coming back. I do wish him well. I'd love to see him play again. It would be good for the NFL.

WHAT?

Eh, he doesn't say anything. He doesn't want to make a statement that is, in legal speak, a "hostage to fortune". In Bond speak, never say never. I wouldn't pay it much attention.

If Michael Vick suits up for the Falcons again I am gone, and not just for morale reasons, but those factor in. He wasn't even that good 'in his prime,' let alone 30 years old sitting in prison.

I can't believe how fickle you are.

Or that is what you said to me when I said I would do the same thing if we shipped off DeAngelo Hall for a low first round pick.

Why wouldn't he want Michael Vick playing. It's not like he did something wrong. (not sarcastic)
