Breaking News: Roger Goodell has decided Michael Vick can play in Week 3.
After meeting with Vick for about 45 minutes, Goodell has determined that Vick can play in week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Ok, so far I've been writing this like a news story. I've been acting super excited at the 'breaking news.' Well, I'm not excited. I actually don't really care. This is the part that burns me...
Why week 3? Why in the world has Goodell decided that he can play in week 3? There is literally no objective way to decide when he can play. Goodell met with Vick and his 'personal mentor' Tony Dungy. After these few meetings, Goodell has determined that he can play in week 3. For what reason. What standard has Goodell to decide eligibility? There is none. He cannot rationalize his decision. And if he cannot rationalize the decision, it makes the decision irrational. This decision is irrational. There is no reason, no explanation for why the suspension is for 2 weeks. Did he close his eyes and point to a clock? When he opened, his finger was pointing to 3. That makes the same amount of sense as the method he actually used.
Oh man, this makes me mad. Were there only 2 protesters outside the stadium that day? Did he think getting Vick back sooner would lead to better ratings, better ticket sales, and better jersey sales? Was it something like, hey there's a guy right there with a Chiefs jersey! I think Vick should play against KC. NO. NO. If it was week 4 or 5 or 6, then that's how it would be. How could anyone argue for or against this decision with no rationalization for it? Just let him play in Week 1 for crying out loud. That would be just as reasonable as Week 3. I thought of a number and 1 was that number. Makes sense, right Roger?
