At least..... Good luck to the Falcons with Harrington at the helm. You will need it.

Michael Vick definitely gets "Who's Now" points for this.
Kidding, of course, I hope he gets a HUGE punishment. _________________

As a former clerk for a Federal District Court Judge, I can tell you that they do not bring these charges if they do not mean it and have the evidence to prove it. This will never see trial though, he will plead out. It sounds like avoiding jail time will be hard, though Jamal Lewis got off relatively easily. But, given Goodell's history, I doubt we see him this year. _________________ Tired of having to put down five stacks to get a crispy new ride? Go to IDeserveACar.com to get a fresh new whip. |

I really do sympathize for Falcons fans that put so much faith and stock in him. Where is that on guy...earl02. All he was talking about was how innocent Vick was. I can't wait till he gets here. _________________

Some more info here.
EDIT: Well there's not much there besides the statement that he's being indicted. _________________

I had a feeling this was coming...even after they said earlier charges would not be brought. I hope Vick gets what's coming to him. _________________

| This means nothing Pacman has been indicted or arrested six times and still hasn't been guilty. Vick has never been arrested before and, the new policy is for repeat offenders. Think about it everybody, Players are still getting arrested in the NFL and, none of them have been suspended so why would Vick. |

Federal charges are a much bigger deal. Plus, this is an even bigger black eye for the league because he is a much higher profile player than Pacman and dog fighting has long been an activity tied to professional athletes in one way or another. Plus, he owned the property where this took place and the evidence against him is pretty staggering. _________________ Tired of having to put down five stacks to get a crispy new ride?

I'm glad this happened. Players need to figure out that they can't do whatever they want.
I hope he serves in jail..
And I really hope the Falcons can replace him and move forward.. _________________
