NFL suspends Vick after dog-fighting charges

[WildcatRick]

ATLANTA (Reuters) - The National Football League ordered star quarterback Michael Vick on Monday not to report to training camp with his Atlanta Falcons after he was indicted on dog-fighting charges.

Vick, 27, will receive full pay during the suspension, pending the league's own review of the indictment, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in an announcement.

"While it is for the criminal justice system to determine your guilt or innocence, it is my responsibility ... to determine whether your conduct, even if not criminal, nonetheless violated league policies," Goodell said in a letter to Vick.

Goodell told Vick the review would be completed as soon as possible and that his full cooperation was expected.

this guy is going away for a few years...the feds don't bring you in unless it's lock,stock, and 2 smoking barrels of a case...after reading what is alleged, is this guy even human? seriously what is wrong with people...I know, innocent until proven guilty, but I think it's a matter of "when", not "if"...this isn't some local DA looking to make headlines (i.e. Duke rape case), this is the federal government and they don't mess around...

Sentence him to work in a kennel of trained pit bulls.

Remove the doors to the kennels.

Dont give him food to feed the doggies.

Lets see just how tough little Mikey actually is.

Jim Rome had some great lines for Vick.

A. "Johnny Cochrane is not comimg through that door."

B. "There will be no..If the leash doesn't fit, you must acquit!"
