August 24, 200719 yr I saw it too. I figured this was going to happen as soon as he entered his guilty plea.
August 24, 200719 yr http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d801c32be&template=with-video&confirm=true Vick suspended indefinitely Commissioner Roger Goodell notified Michael Vick on Friday that he is suspended indefinitely without pay from the National Football League, effective immediately. Following are excerpts from Commissioner Goodell’s letter to Vick: » "Your admitted conduct was not only illegal, but also cruel and reprehensible. Your team, the NFL, and NFL fans have all been hurt by your actions." » "Your plea agreement and the plea agreements of your co-defendants also demonstrate your significant involvement in illegal gambling. Even if you personally did not place bets, as you contend, your actions in funding the betting and your association with illegal gambling both violate the terms of your NFL Player Contract and expose you to corrupting influences in derogation of one of the most fundamental responsibilities of an NFL player." » "You have engaged in conduct detrimental to the welfare of the NFL and have violated the league’s Personal Conduct Policy."........
August 25, 200719 yr Hopefully any game and/or season suspensions will be tacked on AFTER his time is served. I hope we never see him in the league again.

August 25, 200719 yr After Mike gets out, I believe his first phone call will be something like this... "Hello...Winnipeg Blue Bombers/Calgary Stampeders/insert CFL team here? This is Ron Mexico and I was wondering when you were having tryouts for the team..."

Maybe if France came up with a league.

This is Ron Mexico and I was wondering when you were having tryouts for the team..." My memory might be faulty but, I saw on ESPNews that he wouldn't be able to play in the CFL as a convicted felon. Did anybody else see or hear of this?
August 25, 200719 yr I don't think the NFL had any other choice but to suspend him indefinitely until his prison term is announced then served. I hope we don't see him again either in the NFL, but I suspect we might.
August 26, 200719 yr Yea I dont think the CFL allows convicks to play in there leage. His only hope is the Arena League, he will never play in the NFL again. I could care less if he lives or dies after doing that to defenseless animals
August 26, 200719 yr While watching Fox News this morning, they had a report that a woman is selling Vick cards on Ebay. What's so special about the auctions are that she is letting her dog chew on them and then she adds the cards to an auction. All the proceeds are going to the Humane Society. :thumb:
