Yep, Vick is in some trouble now. The legal system still needs to take its course, but the commish could take action just off this and we think that he will.

Im still hangin on to a shred of hope in our dynasty league….LOL

double post here……..WW you beat me to the dynasty talk…..lol

Remember that this means charges are being brought against him - who knows what evidence they have. Getting Indited isn’t the toughest thing to do, but they obviously have some kind of evidence.

Still, start getting a back-up plan together if Vick is your 2007 starter!

yeah, its a long way from being guilty….alot can happen and likely will….I wouldnt drop him or anything just have a Plan B in case

These are Federal indictments, not a local ones - he is in major league trouble. And the Commissioner will likely hand down some sort of punishment regardless of what happens with the indictments.

I say the value of all other Atlanta players has hit the rocks for the time being. The team will be hard pressed to focus on football and with a new coach and offensive system being implemented, that spells disaster. Should be interesting to see who they make a play for at QB.

This is the 1st major issue Vick has had with the law isn’t it? If so isn’t the new NFL policy clearly state that it is aimed at multiple offenders?

Don’t get me wrong I think he will be out for some time period, but I think it is too early to write off his entire season.

Is it the first? Didn’t he get caught with marijuana?

I almost never post a link on a site. If you don’t want this here Smitty just edit it out. But here is a copy of the actual indictment: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0717072vick1.html

Warning: parts of this make for some fairly gruesome reading, including especially the execution of some of the dogs.

It appears that they have been able to get at least three witnesses to flip and testify against Vick and the other three. This is not exactly what I would call a wishy-washy indictment. The amount of detail is simply amazing — dates, locations, amount of money involved, and even the names of the dogs.

I agree with Smitty by the way. Unless this Federal prosecution is totally bogus, and I doubt it after reading the above, Vick has more to worry about than the new NFL policy. The face-to-face lies to Goodell doesn’t help. The fact that they trotted him onto the stage as a highlight at the beginning of this year’s rookie draft is going make those lies sting even more. Goddell has to be mad as #*%% right now. And I’m not too certain that the Falcons themselves can afford to live with this one considering the likely backlash from fans (especially with Vick’s magical finger last year). The obvious and essential disclaimer is that he hasn’t been proven guilty yet. So I don’t know that you can stick a fork in him, but if he isn’t already done he is close to it, IMO.

I think Vick plays this year, and that is the end of it. I think NFL won’t punish him until convicted, but Arthur Blank is another story. Kind of tuff situation with the trade before the draft.

What I don’t get is ESPN says only Multiple Offenders??? Isn’t knowingly passing herpes a crime? Waterbottle at Airport? His brother is an idiot, and obviously family values are off.haha

I absolutly hate the things he did, but he plays his value doesn’t change on my board. My emotions are stone cold when it comes to my fantasy team.

Not the best comercial if your trying to say you never went to the house and didn’t know about dog abuse. Notice the shoes use the name in the charges also “Ookie”.
