For those of us who had Michael Vick as one of our QB picks for this year’s fantasy teams - time to mark him off and replace him with a law-abiding, truth-telling, and probably less-talented candidate (or maybe not if you have Peyton on your list - but good luck getting him!) It amazes me how arrogant and self-absorbed some of our best athlete’s can be. And I guess my biggest disappointment has to be the along the same lines as the NFL’s - he lied to the commissioner. You just can’t break the law to the degree that Vick did, lie about it, and then expect to receive any leniency. Now if it was me in Roger Goodell’s shoes, Vick would be out all season and if convicted out of the NFL for good - not necessarily for the crime (which was pretty brutal), but definately for lying. If Goodell is going to keep player personal conduct policy as one of his top league priorities, he has to come down hard on Vick - sorry Atlanta - like it or not Vick has to go.

Well, it sounds like they are going to let him play until they convict him which will take several years to do! Hanging a dog? The punishment should fit the crime!
