    Not surprising. Face it. No matter what, there are some people out there who are NEVER going to forgive Michael Vick for what he did.

    There are much worse guys in the league than him that do way stupider crap. Donte Stallworth killed a guy for gods sake. Vick is just the biggest name attached to doing bad thingsnso people latch on to him. Polls like this don't mean anything.

    Vick intentionally tortured and slaughtered animals for multiple years for PLEASURE, Not a brief drunken mistake. Stallworth didn't set out to kill, Vick did.

    Vick has set the benchmark of scum amongst the active players in the NFL, and deserves the top spot.

    there will always be the debate about taking an animals life vs. a person but andy is dead on like others that have said the same thing in the past when it comes to the stalworth comparison.

    vick has paid his debt to society but it doesn't mean the public will forgive or forget. that's his problem.

    I'm sure those paychecks go a long way in helping get over the 'pain' from some not liking him.

    Old news. Who gives a heck. How about someone boycott Stallworth for killing a dude.

    Vick will never be forgiven for what he did to those poor dogs. As for taking a humans life vs an animals life, very interesting debate topic.

    and i think these polls only allow 'current' athletes ............. otherwise, wouldn't O.J. Simpson win the award every year if it was current and retired athletes?

    Really you're going to say killing a man driving drunk is not as big an offense as killing dogs. I don't care if it was on purpose or not it should go Stallworth than Vick.

    Right J Walking is an excuse for driving drunk and hitting a dude. Anybody who wasn't drunk wouldn't of hit him and wouldn't of killed him so why make excuses?

    Since you love to debate how can you argue against accidental and premeditated? For argument sake lets just say it takes 10 dogs to equal one person, Vick probably killed at least 30-50 dogs. That's 3-5 people he planned on killing, is that the same as accidentally killing someone once who was breaking the law himself? And you have no idea if someone would have hit him if he wasn't j walking. Trust me papa, I've almost hit people who were j walking because down here people think the own the road, and unless you know what it's like to drive in south Florida with people running across the street with traffic coming, I doubt you know how easy it really is to hit someone.

    drags ... if you want to debate the tragedy of the american justice system you may be better served to use leonard little or as mentioned earlier oj simpson.

    i forgave Michael Vick the day he stepped out of prison, after serving his time for the crime. Same with Plaxico and any other person in this society who hecks up and serves their time ........ well, except for pedophiles, rapists and serial killers, who cannot be reformed--it's a proven fact--they should all be locked up forever with no chance for parole.
