Unless the witnesses break down on the stands and say they all made it up, I suspect Vick's career is over in the NFL.
Look at the backlash OJ Simpson received despite his "not guilty" verdict.
PETA is well-organized and well-intentioned (as Mike Lupica said and that's a nice way of saying to organization is crazy and fanatical), and they won't let this issue die, especially if Vick gets off.
There's one major difference, OJ wasn't playing anymore. OJ was relying on his past celebrity to get acting gigs.
Ray Lewis was tried for freaking MURDER and once he got off, he went on to continue to be a marquee NFL star. And if the Ravens had released him, then too the line would have formed to the left. Rarely does anyone even talk about that murder trial anymore. I firmly believe if Pac-Man had a few pro-bowls under his belt, he'd be able to play again as well....he just doesn't have the skins on the wall for this.
If you're a singular talent and a team can atleast pretend you weren't guilty, you'll get chance after chance. NFL fans are atleast as fanatical as PETA, and once the smoke clears, Vick would sign and play again and this will all be but a Trivial Pursuit question and/or a taunt used by his division rivals' fans.
Make no mistake, Vick will weather this storm if the NFL lets him and he's found not guilty.
In your dreams.
