THE NFL IS ALL ABOUT MONEY FOR THE TEAM OWNERS: IT'S A NO-BRAINER THAT MICHAEL VICK GETS REINSTATED BY NFL!

Michael Vick - Happier Days with the Atlanta Falcons (AP)Today, Michael Vick was reinstated into the NFL by league commissioner Roger Goodell. Article here. Of course, the next hurdle for Vick is that he must be picked up by a team before he can actually play.  Several teams, including the Jets and the Giants, have said they flat-out won't take him.  Other teams aren't so silly to make such a hasty decision. 

The NFL (and all professional sports) is about money. Period. Jerry Jones just built a billion-dollar stadium for his Dallas Cowboys. Why? Because the teams are money making machines.  Teams dump millions of dollars into their players, coaches and facilities. The best players are paid the highest and sell the most jerseys, regardless of their off-the-field antics; the best stadiums bring in the most cash for hotdogs and parking on Sundays.

A player's DUI, wife-beating, and other run-ins with the law definitely put a tarnish on the team, but those tarnishes can be easily buffed out with a win. You are as good as your last game.  If Michael Vick can bring a W to the team, they will take him. He may get booed when he runs onto the field for the first time; however, once he tosses that ball along the inside of the sideline for a touchdown, the fans will be cheering and the team owners will see dollar bills. That's all that matters in this game we call the NFL.

Welcome back, Mr. Vick.
