[Atlanta Falcons News]

Before much longer, the Michael Vick saga will probably give us all something to shout about. It’s been barely two weeks since he was indicted on felony dogfighting charges, and in that time the defrocked Atlanta Falcons quarterback has become a symbol for just about everybody and just about everything.

PETA thinks he’s a villain. The NAACP thinks he’s a victim. The NFL and his corporate endorsers think he’s poison. Most of us, though, just think he’s a damned fool. Yet as the carnival unfolds, and the madness mounts, and the sublime slips smoothly into the ridiculous, tell me haven’t we seen this act before?

The actors change, the plot remains the same. Here we are with another high-profile athletic indignity that will surely give us the same queasy feeling as the others. Chart a line through the absurdity of the O.J. trial, slash a path through the Bonfire of the Vanities sensationalism of the Duke lacrosse scandal, then weave it through the Pacman Jones insanity. By the time that line reaches the disturbing case of the United States versus Michael Vick, we can see the familiar ties that bind them all together.

Opinion: 'Keepin' it real' has helped damage Vick - NFL - MSNBC.com

I guess we dont have to say allegedly anymore, huh..now lets see how hardcore goodell really is..

If I was an Atlantian (is that the word?) or a Falcons fan, I'd be pretty pissed off at Michael Vick right about now. He went weeks claiming his innocence and said he had nothing to do with what may have happened inside the home. Now with this guilty plea, he's just a big liar...a felon (I think) and a criminal.

If I were a Atlantian (again, is that a word?) or a Falcons fan, I'd say so long Michael and good rittens.

[vincesanity82]

Doesnt help he lied straight to goodells face on draft day either..

[Lefty Noob]

He'll be suspended, no doubt. For how long? Who knows. Does it even matter? He could be facing three years in jail.

I would not be shocked if he got more than one year

More tha one year of suspension or more than one year in jail? He's got to be suspended for at least the length of his sentence, right?

[EmpireWF]

Figure he gets at least one year for a one year guilty plea deal. He should get more time for blatantly lying to the Commish.

Another question - will any suspension and jail sentence run concurrently, or will the suspension start afterwards?

From what ive heard, if the nfl chooses to suspend vick(which they will) the suspension wont start until he gets out of jail.. personally, if I were goodell, I would ban him..

[EmpireWF]

Yeah, everyone tends to agree that any NFL suspension would be enforced after his prison sentence is served.

[JRL]

I may be mistaken but my understanding is he cannot serve a suspension unless he is under contract with a team. The Falcons will likely sever ties meaning he would need to sign with someone willing to take on the baggage he carries and willing to wait for the suspension to run its course – not likely.

So here is how I see it unfolding: 12 to 18 months federal time with the possibility of serving 2 months in a halfway house starting in January 08. So he gets out Jan. 09 at best or July 09 at worst. He then starts serving the suspension (assuming a light suspension of 12 months and not likely) so he is into Jan 2010 or July 2010. He will be 31 years old and away from the game for 3 seasons – he is done.

Pacman got a year for 2 big cases then ticky tact things every other day Tank got 8 games for guns Chris Henry got 8 games for more traffic incidents then Lindsay Lohan. Based on that Citroen Vick gets at least a year and half maybe two
