Quick Hit – Michael Vick Indicted

If you haven’t heard the news yet, you haven’t been by a TV, radio or computer in the last 24 hours. Michael Vick has been indicted on two charges for his alleged involvement in dog fighting rings in Georgia. Full Story (Washington Post).

The two charges could put Vick in jail for up to six years with over $350,000 in fines.

To put it simply, Michael Vick disgusts me. When you sign one of the richest contracts in NFL history, you have the responsibility, IN THE LEAST, to stay out of trouble. You’ve embarrassed the Atlanta Falcons, the NFL, and your last name. And if the NFL doesn’t suspend Vick for this, I, as a fan of the league, will be enraged. The Player Conduct Policy CLEARLY states that a conviction is not necessary for the league to suspend you – so if you’re going to suspend Sam Brandon for stuff he did years back (and when one of his two cases was dropped completely), you damn well better suspend Vick for felony charges.
