Carol Slezak, a writer for the Chicago Sun-Times, is trying to start a push for the Bears to sign Michael Vick when he is released from prison on July 20. In what appears to be an effort to avoid the inevitable venom headed her way in initial reactions — which most likely range from “you’re kidding me,” to profanity-laced tirades — she loaded this sucker up with disclaimers. Here’s an example:
Let’s assume he will leave federal prison rehabilitated in every way. Let’s assume he has learned the serious nature of his crimes and is repentant. Let’s assume he is drug-free. Let’s assume that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reinstates him. Under these circumstances, is there any reason why the Bears shouldn’t be interested in him?
That’s a ton of assumptions, but I’ll be a good sport. There’s nothing more frustrating in writing when people can’t slice through all the technicalities and hear you out. To answer her last question, I have a few reasons.
1. He gets out of freaking federal prison on July 20. That means he’ll have roughly six weeks to join the team, learn the offense, and develop a rapport with a sub-par, at best, receiving unit.
