The Facts:
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sent a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday saying Vick should be checked to see if he is a psychopath before having any chance of a return to the NFL. "Saying sorry and getting his ball back after being caught enjoying killing dogs in hideously cruel ways for many years doesn't cut it," PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
PETA questions if Vick has anti-social personality disorder, a condition that might keep him from feeling remorse and impact future behavior. ... Vick is serving a prison sentence on conspiracy charges in connection with his financing of a dogfight gambling ring. Evidence in the case showed he killed dogs in such brutal manners as drowning, beating and electrocution. His sentence is scheduled to run into this July. When Vick is released from prison, the league could take separate disciplinary action and suspend him -- or not.
