turbodiesel#44 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 CNN just reported Vick has been indited on felony charges in regards to the dogfighting at his property. Maybe Goodell says he will not be suspended for a first offense, but he will have trouble scrambling from his cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbodiesel#44 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 This won't go to to trial for another year. He plays this year..... With his money, it may be 2 years. I'm sure his counsel will try to schedule it around the season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laxpck Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Whats up now Doooggggg? Michael Vick has reportedly been indicted by a federal grand jury for his role in a dog-fighting operation on his property in Virginia. On the same day Daunte Culpepper is released. Vick is accused of conspiring to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and sponsoring a dog in animal fighting. Its hard to gauge the NFL's immediate reaction here, but commissioner Roger Goodell can certainly suspend Vick if he chooses before the criminal system has run its course. We suspect he'll let the Falcons know where Vick stands sooner than later. Jul. 17 - 5:19 pm et Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 As the cliche goes, you could indict a ham sandwhich if you chose. This may be a precursor to a punishable offense, but as of now, Vick's standing with the NFL shouldn't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Day Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I think he will play the year, I don't think he should be suspended yet either. Like the previous poster said, anyone can be indicted. Should make years offseason very interesting in ATL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingtar Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 If he was indicted they have something. The Feds are usually very picky about that. I think their conviction rate is over 95%. Plus I think they would be extra careful knowing the type of media frenzy this will create. They wouldn't do this unless they have enough dirt to fill his grave.
