And once again, Joey Harrington (Falcon's backup QB) is the cream that rises to the top of the NFL!

Somehow I can’t see Michael owning that dog.

But...who knows?

I can’t believe Ron Mexico would get caught up in something like this.

That was my first thought. Daunte Culpepper should sign with the Falcons.

Vick would be perfect for the Bengals.

>Vick is probably the first person charged with having a dog in the fight since maybe, what 1811?

Google is your friend.
If you look around a bit,
you'll see "dog fighting"

is an active theme
for investigations and
prosecutions, too.

the Falcons traded the wrong QB..

Yeah, I think they did too. It'll be interesting to see how Shaub does in TX as a starter instead of playing second fiddle to a thug trackstar.

The racial politics of this case are going to be nauseating.

Actually people get charged with participating in dog fights all the time. It’s big business and the people that get busted frequently also have narcotics, you know how much cops like to be able to add drug charges.

That is what I was thinking as well. I assume a conviction is needed. I would want the same for myself except I am not a “celebrity” who is supposed to protect a brand and image.

They’ll nail him for the conspiracy rap, did he take any of these dogs across state lines?

Are you sure Football fans will care what PETA protests? They gripe about hotdogs being served anyway. Besides, where do you get the thousands of PETA protestors? Rent-a-Border-Crosser (i.e. a job Americans won’t do)?

I was suprised to see Ron Mexico still available at post #23, so I had to take him.

I wonder what the contract implication are to this. Do players have a decency type clause?

Doesn't really matter that much in the NFL as contracts are not guarranteed. I player can be cut for any reason and the rest of his contract is over.

Pretty much the only implications are salary cap related.

Vick will play every game barring injury or imprisonment while awaiting trail if it goes that far. M. Vick IS just too valuable for NFL to doing anything that will result in Vick not playing every down for the Falcons this season.
