The rumor had been that Vick wasn't going to admit to killing dogs or gambling, now that he did it'll be very tough for him to make a comeback. Good riddance.

Well there is step one. I guess they will revist this once he is out of prison?
Suspending him indefinatley just gets the Falcons out of not having to pay him for the foreseeable future. At what point do they let him go? It will wreak havoc of thier cap considering he still has 7 yrs 117 mil left on his contract.

the falcons can reclaim his signing bonus, or large chunks of it now with that ruling, meaning they'll have a lot of cap room going forward.

Actually, he'll probably never play again - period. He's the new Pete Rose for the NFL, and when he finally gets out of jail....he'll probably be on probation. Translation - he can't leave the state (usually) let alone the US. So, playing in Canada is out too. Look at it this way, he can now focus 100% of his efforts on obtaining that ever allusive Citizen of the Year award, or at least open his own personal woodshop to figure out how to design a better system of transporting pot on airplanes. Loser.

He'll be the star of the PFL (prison football league). At least he'll be free from getting his salad tossed in prison because of the herpes lol.

Not likely he'll play in Canada either. He probably will not even be allowed to enter Canada with a felony record.
