Vick Won't Roll Over On Players

Peter King of NBC reports that Mike Vick, if he pleads guilty, won't roll over on other NFL players who might be involved in dog fighting.
But what if giving up the goods as to what he knows about dog fighting and the associated gambling activities is part of the plea offer that's on the table? We suppose that he could try to say "I don't know" when it comes to NFL players, but if the feds expect him to come clean and he tries to zip his lips, the plug could be pulled on the plea bargain.
King's report came as part of an insightful halftime discussion during NBC's Sunday night game between the Ravens and the Giants. Cris Collinsworth raised the gambling angle, and King said that the NFL is as concerned, and possibly more concerned, about the gambling angle than the dog-fighting aspect of the case.
King also said that any suspension from the NFL most likely will run begin after Vick gets out of prison.
And Tiki Barber suggested that, if Vick names names regarding other players who are involved in dog fighting, Vick would never be accepted in another NFL locker room.

Re: Vick Won't Roll Over On Players

Tiki's exact words were to the effect that if Vick were to turn on any NFL player, he would be "blackballed" and never accepted by the players ever again.

Hard to disagree.

Vick has supposedly said he would never do that, so no worries there.

Re: Vick Won't Roll Over On Players

I guess Tiki (as does Vick) thinks dog fighting is an ok form of entertainment. If in fact Vick has names of other NFL players envolved he could repair a lot of damage with the public by coming clean. I also think the majority of players in the NFL think Vick and his dog fighting is a black eye they all share with disdain.

Give me a break Tiki - do you really think it is honorable to protect crimminals just becaue they are in the NFL. WTF are these clowns thinking?

Who is to say his career isn't over either way?...Barber should get a life...

...and I am sick of the freakin dog scandal...a bit askew with the rest of the problems in society I think. My gosh if we would exhaust as much press and time on other crime etc, the Hoffa case would be solved by now, the JFK issue would be put to bed... and we would be half way to peace in the freakin middle east.

Re: Vick Won't Roll Over On Players

After a few nights in prison, Vick will roll on these other guys so fast it won't be funny, if he hasn't already. Vick is absolutely done in the NFL, take that to the bank. No team will go near him once this mess is finished. Barber isn't the only one who thinks this isn't that big a deal with regards to the dogfighting. Clinton Portis didn't and I"ll bet he isn't alone in that thinking among players.
