Michael Vick returns to Madden after being reinstated photo

Electronic Arts delivers. Swift Michael Vick is joining the Madden NFL 10 roster after his reinstatement into the NFL. Specifically, he will wear the Kelly green, silver, and brilliant white as all members of the Philadelphia Eagles. In the gallery below you can check out a few fresh images of the quarterback in action.

Michael Vick was booted from the football league several years ago. He served a two-year prison sentence in Virginia for animal cruelty charges after it was found that the millionaire operated a dog-fighting ring. His reinstatement comes with a caveat: Vick is suspended an additional several weeks.

We haven’t taken a gander at his stats, but we’re guessing prison hasn’t boosted his accuracy rating, which was always a touchy stat when he was included in the game.

This is the worst mistake my Eagles have ever made. Just makes us seem desperate...

Is Donte Stallworth in this game? He was suspended for the entire year. You know... because he killed a guy.

Yahoo.. now we can all be a dog killing sub-human barbarian. Since Donte Stallworth might be in the game too, maybe they'll create an All Felons team.

He served his two years. Hey, that's like fourteen dog years! Let the guy live his life.

I'm glad all the critics of Vick are vegetarians, or else that would be some hypocritical shit.

Anyways, glad he's in the game. Accurate team rosters and all.

That made me laugh.

That, and the fact that apparently stores selling his jersey can't keep them on the shelves. I keep hearing people in the Philly area bashing him and the team...yet they are buying up his merchandise?

After all, fighting animals against each other for entertainment and humanely slaughtering for food are totally in the same realm.

Humanely slaughtering? Animals go in a thresher, meat comes out. Perhaps you can explain where's the humane part of killing animals.

And yes, both can be broken down to an argument of ethics and beliefs.

Not to nitpick, but the jersey color is MIDNIGHT green, not Kelly green. Kelly green was the color of the jerseys from the 90's ALA Randall Cunningham.

Might as well wait for the update that has Favre going to the Vikings. Gag me with a fucking gym sock please.

perhaps the smartypants that decided to throw body slamming a dog until it dies and animal slaughtering for food in the same bin has actually never personally witnessed a dog fight or ordered up a juicy hamburger right? both are vastly fucked up, but to vastly different degrees. your watered down social commentary and attempt at wit actually fails, on every level.

anyway, as this is actually a game forum...apart from the circus sideshow that he is, vick is a joke of a quarterback. perhaps ea actually gets it right this time by not allowing him to scramble at will and throw 50 yd.td bombs.

I do understand both are messed up on different degrees. However, the sheer outrage over Vick is vastly overblown and perhaps should be reserved for more important matters in our world, not some backwoods cultural institution like dog fighting, which will continue in backyards around America. Fight for a more important cause than the demonizing of a guy who has done his time.

Separate the forest from the trees and what not.
