Michael Vick had an announcement to make: He was coming home. Vick has spoken publicly about second chances and can serve as a mentor for his players, knowing what his life without football looked like. Now, his Norfolk State tenure is about to begin: http://dlvr.it/TMk6xj

Pre-emptive post for people rushing to say he should be in jail and not coaching a football team: He *was* in jail for an extended time already. He's paid for his sins. For some people, black guys can't be in prison for long enough.

I agree. He took his punishment like a man and I wish him well at Norfolk State.

He is the last person that I would want to be a mentor to my kids.
