Vick Poll

[fortdick]

OK, let's do some sampling here. We are an unbiased focus group (Falcon fans would not be) and we should represdent a cross section of NFL fans, so statistically speaking, the numbers should be a fair indictment.

 

[DallasEast]

This really should have been a public poll.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

where's

kill him

??

they should set a pack of wild dogs on his arse

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Right now he is innocent.

 

[JakeCamp12]

If I were Arthur Blank, he would be gone already. I would rather lose then have a low life scum like Vick on my team. Seeing some of the video of this type of thing on CNN made me almost puke in my living room. I hope karma comes back to bite him in his arse...:shoot3:

 

[big dog cowboy]

Do nothing now, then suspend him for life when he is found guilty. Make him clean dog kennels every day in jail.

 

[Wood]

I agree ....where is the option for putting vick in a room with the dogs that were not killed and having him attacked. If he doesn't perform up to our expectations....we get to body slam him.

 

[Ky31]

Due process is due process, however if he is found guilty he should be banned for life. The clip that was shown on espn was one of the most horrifying things I have ever seen. Just on the fact alone that he would hang out with people of this nature, let alone partake in something like this, I would not be able to cut his a-- from my football team fast enough.

 

[Crown Royal]

I said wait because at this point we aren't aware of how severely he was involved. If he owned the house and maybe knew about it but didn't do anything, then 8 games. If he bred dogs and was deep into it and cut their legs off and used them as carpets, then for longer.

What do the NFL bylaws say about lifetime bans?

 

[Billy Bullocks]

Based on the fact that there is pretty strong evidence and the whole issue is giving the NFL a HUGE black eye, I would say, suspend him at LEAST 8 games. If you are throwing Tank and Pacman out for being idiots, don't change it up for Vick because of his merchandise power.

If he goes to Jail, Goodell doesn't have to worry about suspending him. I have a feeling he gets no jail time somehow. That's how America works.

 

[Benni]

I miss an option like; suspension not needed, which ever team hires him will go down automaticly...

I really can't see any franchise that can support a player with that kind of background (grounded he's guilty). I'm just glad Jerry is smart enough to never consider hiring the guy.

EDIT: I don't care if he goes to jail or not. If it's just half true, then my meaning stands.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Innocent until proven guilty... That's what's wrong with America now, people convict folks before anything goes to court.

 

[Big Dakota]

I say hold off. With the Rocket Docket, his fate will be sealed by the end of the year. Then the commish can put the HAMMER to his head. If they can't convict him, he still get's suspended for dragging the NFL and the Falcons through the mud. Either way, he will pay.

 

[StanleySpadowski]

The NFL should suspend Vick, not for the dogfighting allegations (at least right now), but rather for associating with known gamblers. Win/win for the Falcons, the NFL, fans and even in some ways Vick himself.

 

[Big Dakota]

Maybe the NFL owners should think about giving themselves some kind of a discount on the cap hit when guys run afoul of the law and have to be cut?

 

[flashback]

Suspend him until his current legal troubles are over. Even if he's exonerated, the Falcons would be stupid to let him QB this franchise when they have no idea how much practice/prep time he'll miss if he's up in Virginia 2 or 3 days a week during the season.

The Falcons will probably have to move on without Mike Vick after this year.

One other thing: I agree that he's innocent until proven guilty, but any of our employers could ****-can our ***** quicker than you can say "I need Thursday afternoon off" if it was any one of us. The Falcons or the NFL are well within their rights to give him 2 or 4 or 6 months off.

 

[TheSkaven]

What do the NFL bylaws say about lifetime bans?

After the NFL suspends a player, the player is not automatically reinstated after the period expires. The case is reviewed. Therefore, in theory any suspension could be indefinite.

Yes, I think we are normal and practical bunch, representative of the cross section of the NFL
Please proceed

I say delay the hammer until the legal process is done

Then suspend if there is any legal sanction

But if the Falcans are smart they will keep him in camp and start him

His court case, if the NFL awaits the courts and his lawyers delay, wouldn't begin until spring

 

[SuspectCorner]

A basic tenet put in place by our slave-owning, yet somehow, miraculously, forward-thinking (there must have been some Divine intervention taking place here - cuz these are a bunch of Bubba's - they just happen to have been born and bred north of the Mason-Dixon Line 'sall) forefathers .... INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

We should fry no QB before his time.
