Goodell Orders Vick to Stay Home

I don't think evidence or the charges where this bad against Pacman.

well, the evidence was overwhelming, but the charges are not considered as severe. True.

As long as Vick is getting paid I don't see a problem with Goodell ordering him to stay at home. If I were Vick I would probably stay home just to let things cool down a bit.

As for the NFLPA getting involved, you can bet your ass NFLPA will fight it, especially if Vick didn't violated any conduct policy. If the NFLPA doesn't fight it then what good are they? What's the point of being a member of a union that doesn't fight for it's members?

I dont think there is any way the union touches this. I dont think the NFL would have any trouble finding conduct policies violated by Vick in this case so thats not even a worry for the NFL lawyers.

This is a cant win for the union, they know that. They will leave this alone.

The NFL is already catching a lot of heat for not doing serious anything about Vick yet. People are watching this situation, and watching Vick slowly go down in flames, and that includes the guys that are squealing on him. NFLPA wont touch this matter with a 30 foot pole. Vick is on his own

It's the right thing for them to do, no doubt. It allows the team to move forward as much as possible. Switching your offense to Joey's skill set(yes i mentioned Joey Harrington and skills in the same sentence), from Mike's is going to be hard enough without the added chaos.

What I don't get is how Joey Harrington keeps finding starting jobs.

He obviously has a good agent who targets teams with problem starters that could be hurt or suspended so Joey can play. His play isn't earning him the spots. It's his agent or just dumb luck.

Vick has played his last down for Atlanta. We will see Vick in 08 in a new uniform.

The following link offers a pretty interesting take on what options the Falcons discussed recently re: Michael Vick. Of course, this is from an AJC reporter, so I would NEVER consider it gospel.

Legal concerns may have kept Vick on roster | ajc.com (http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/falcons/stories/2007/07/24/0725nflvick.html)

I guess we'll know in a couple of minutes how accurate, or inaccurate this report was.

It doesn’t sound like the Falcons will do anything until the NFL has completed their investigation. Sorry no link, just listening to Arthur Blank on live radio. Stay tuned.
