[5Stars]

True. But what if the commish suspended him, only to see him acquitted months later. He'd look foolish.

as adam has pointed out many times - the NFL "judicial" system doesn't use only the "American" judicial system to dole out punishments.

contractually the NFL can be their own judge and jury - period. real world need not apply.

Hos, I thought you recognized sarcasm?

They might not have broken the law but they sure as hell don't paint a pretty picture. Vick has put a huge target on his back the last couple of years and that will not help him come Goodell judgment. And Mike better pray that the media/protest groups don't run with this like they did the Imus situation.

That would be ThreeSportsStar and his band of gypsies....

I think their trying to find that post and hide it the best they can now!

I don't pay heed to adam outside of cap issues. In any event, Vick is not a serial offender like Pacman, and it'll take more than an accusation for him to miss any time. At least that's my gut instinct.

I agree...he's a punk, period!

You know...I can somewhat understand a player on weed...or a player getting a DUI...or a player doing most stuff that most everyday people get busted for...but friggen dog fighting!? Vick is very lucky I'm not in charge of this situation!

I'm pretty sure we will see a RICO indictment, as well. RICO ("Rackteer Influenced Corrupt Organizations" Act) is what all the mob bosses get tagged on. Basically, if he was running an organization in which there was gambling on an activity that is illegal under state law (and dog fighting is illegal under Virginia law), then he can get tagged with RICO and go to jail for a long time. The thing about RICO charges is that they can be wide-ranging to anyone involved in the organization. And since there apparently was some official name of this organization and done on Vick's property, there is a strong case for a RICO indictment forthcoming.

Thanks for that explanation, cobra! I kept reading about RICO and was wondering what that means...now I know.

Yikes. Thank you for explaining this.

First the moan from Blank in Atlanta. Now the expletive from NYC and Mr. Goodell.

TOO LATE

Yeah....I thought it was Ron Mexico's brother.

Not surprised with this indictment. Falcons and Vick are in for some rough ride.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

rarely used the home he bragged about staying in during the 2002 offseason to play with his dogs. friggin liar getting what he deserves.

In all fairness, it is just an indictment, in no way is it a finding of guilt.

Damn dumb Cowboy fans!

There's no way the NFL can't come down hard on this. They'd be called hypocrites by everyone and their dog if they don't.

 

[burmafrd]

for RICO to stick, I think it has to be shown that VIck was a leader or head honcho. Not sure just being involved will be enough. But it could be. I happen to think that RICO is over used- but it this dog fighting ring is as big as it sounds, it probably does qualify.

Yep... Mort has some egg on his face right now...

Mosley suggested earlier that it was someone in the Falcons organization who told him that Vick wouldn't be indicted. Maybe they were just hoping.
