Good. I don't think it would be fair for the rest of his team to have to deal with the circus that will be following him.

NEW YORK -- Michael Vick was ordered by commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday to stay away from the Atlanta Falcons' training camp until the league reviews the dogfighting charges against him.
"While it is for the criminal justice system to determine your guilt or innocence, it is my responsibility as commissioner of the National Football League to determine whether your conduct, even if not criminal, nonetheless violated league policies, including the Personal Conduct Policy," Goodell said in a letter to the quarterback.

Ron is still allowed at camp though, si?

NEW YORK -- Michael Vick was ordered by commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday to stay away from the Atlanta Falcons' training camp until the league reviews the dogfighting charges against him.
"While it is for the criminal justice system to determine your guilt or innocence, it is my responsibility as commissioner of the National Football League to determine whether your conduct, even if not criminal, nonetheless violated league policies, including the Personal Conduct Policy," Goodell said in a letter to the quarterback.
The NFL said Vick would still get his preseason pay and Goodell told the Falcons to withhold any disciplinary action of their own until the league's review was completed.
The Falcons are scheduled to hold a press conference at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, at which team owner Arthur Blank will discuss the Vick situation, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Goodell told Vick the league would complete its review as quickly as possible and that he expected full cooperation.
The Falcons open camp on Thursday, the same day Vick is scheduled to be arraigned in Richmond, Va., on charges of sponsoring a dogfighting operation.
Vick, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 draft, last season became the first quarterback ever to rush for more than 1,000 yards.
After his indictment last week, the NFL's position was that it would monitor developments and allow the legal process to "determine the facts."
Since then, pressure has been mounting on the league and the Falcons, particularly from animal-rights groups.
PETA -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals -- demonstrated at Falcons' headquarters in Flowery Branch, Ga., on Monday and did the same outside NFL offices in New York last week. At the same time, Goodell was meeting with officials from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The league and the ASPCA are working on a program to educate players about the proper treatment of animals.
Activists also put pressure on companies that have endorsement deals with Vick to sever their ties. Nike said it would not release a fifth signature shoe, the Air Zoom Vick V, this summer. Nike spokesman Dean Stoyer said the four shoe products and three shirts that currently bear Vick's name will remain in stores.

So do they stick with Harrington? Or do they bring in someone like C-Pep or Couch for the hell of it to battle it out in camp?

You can, however, get your own customized "HERPES" jersey.

Wow, I feel really bad for the Falcons and their fans because a couple of years ago they were in the NFC Championship game and now they are in complete shambles. They are having the Miami Dolphins Quarterback Blues right now because they traded away Schaub and are left with backups, but at least Vick is now not going to be a distraction.

NativeFloridian · 07-23-2007, 09:47 PM

Ookie?? wtf

PrepDogg · 07-23-2007, 10:02 PM

Wouldn't the Players association have a legitimate gripe if they wanted to fight this because Vick hasn't been convicted of any wrong doing yet?
