Did the Falcons have any other choice?

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.

Blank stated that they were considering giving Vick the maximum suspension until the NFL put the brakes on that motion. Again, sorry for no link, this is live radio on 680 The Fan in Atlanta.

Thanks for the update, Dlyne8r. I often use NFL radio as a source and can't provide actual links. Often if you cite your source people will believe you.

I heard the Blank interview too just now on ESPN radio. Just to vouch for this thread. :)

Vick should have taken this action by himself. it would have looked alot better

Thanks Daseal. I made another post directly after my initial thread was complete to identify my source. I'm learning, so thanks to all for your patience. Thanks also to Mattyk72 for vouching for the thread. I should have indicated that the local radio broadcast I was listening to was an ESPN affiliate.

I don't understand the question, the Falcons didn't do anything yet. They were told by the powers that be not to do anything until the NFL is done with there investigation. As far as the Falcons going to suspend him 4 games well I don't know if that is what the team should have done. I mean Vick should have taken the high road and sat himself out until this thing is over. Their is no need to put this pressure on the team and his team mates. You know that any interview that a team mate of his will do Vick is going to be the topic of discussion....

Here's my take. Whether or not the punishment from the Falcons went through or not, I think it will start to set the standards higher for the teams to get involved a little more with punishing thier players. Maybe they are thinking that if they punished Vick before the commisioner does, it will A. Show the other players that they will not sit by and let thier players do what they want, and wait for the leauge to punish them. B. The leauge might take it a little easier on Vick if he's already been punished (time served). C. It let's Vick know that they don't support his actions, and he's on his own on this one.

Did you guys hear that the NFL is going to do PSA's about dogfighting this season. It has selected some of its top players to do these PSA's. I wonder who they've chosen
