Goodell orders Vick to skip Falcons camp

The first of what could be a handful of actions taken against Michael Vick by the commissioner's office has been decided.


FOXSports.com has learned that commissioner Roger Goodell has ordered Vick not to attend Falcons training camp as his first step in determining Vick's future in the league. That would give the league office more time to assess the facts and judge additional facts that may come to light in the next month.


This is just the first part of what could be an extensive punishment for Vick's alleged involvement in a gruesome dogfighting operation at a property owned by him in Virginia.

There could also be a strong push to sit Vick down for the year while he clears up his personal problems. In fact, this action could even convince Vick to take a year-long leave of absence, which would certainly be the simplest resolution for all parties.

Vick is already facing federal charges for the dogfighting fiasco that has turned the Falcons upside down and could face state charges related to the operation. Calls to the league office for comment have not yet been returned.

nice, i feel like if the case was as solid against mike then the nfl would be covering their asses and kicking him out all year, but looks like vick might be able to squeeze out of this one. before he was indicted they said there was enough evidence to indict him but it would be nearly impossible to convict him based on a lack of evidence and the fact that witnesses would not be so credible seeing how they too had to be involved in dogfighting as well. thats why there were reports of him not being indicted.

i think the surry county prosecutor came out today and said vick wouldnt be indicted yet. they had a grand jury today and he wasnt indicted so maybe theyre waiting for the fed case to play out. same thing, they say theres just no evidence tying vick to anything but owning the property. nice

its davon boddie for 1. he lived there and is nowhere to be found on the indictment. thats their whole case so far though as far as the public knows. snitches. did anyone read the indictment? the dates are very vague, so if they cant nail down a specific date then they are going to have a DIFFICULT time convicting vick simply on the testimony of dogfighters. boddie is pissed that he lost out on his free ride and when vick cut him off he turned states evidence. thats the likely scenario. there were rumors of 2 people in prison in south carolina possibly being witnesses. theres a total of 4 cooperating witnesses.

If its decided that Vick wasn't doing the torchuring but is placed at the fights from witnesses, does he necessarily have to say who it is that did the electricuting and other shit to dogs?

Vick doesn't have to say anything. And he shouldn't.

His lawyer probably has him pleading the 5th the whole way through. This is definitely one of those situations where saying anything isn't going to help you any.

That's some bitch shit by the commissioner. Vick is INNOCENT this shit prolly won't even go to court cuz of lack of evidence and they already punishing him.

People have to use common sense here... these took place on HIS property. You don't just have property and completely ignore it. I doubt he is innocent, but I wanted him to stick around and totally blow up the Falcants season.

I think that Vick should stay away from camp until his legal issues are resolved... that way all them people that are picketing or whatever can leave the Falcons camp alone. But I believe in Innocent until proven guilty in the court of law. If Vick says he's innocent then give him a chance to prove he's innocent. I think he's guilty but let's see what happens in court.

actually this ISNT good for vick....if the falcons actually suspended him (he woulda been able to go to training camp just not play in a maxium of four games during the regular season) but goodell told the falcons NOT to take action because players CANT be punished for the same offense twice.....so it looks like ronnie mexico has a lot more in his hands then a 4 game suspension


thats the way i look at it

They will take action against him because he is tarnishing the NFL's rep. It started last season with him flipping off his own fans. The league is not worried about the money he generates, they'll make a grip with or without him and they know it. The public already thinks bad about him, so I doubt he's going to generate much money if they keep him around anyway.

And phil I've said it before.. A witness is a witness. It doesn't matter if it's a dogfighter or not. When you have witness testimony (especially more than one witness) it goes a VERY long way. It is understood that concrete (physical) evidence can be covered up.. The fact that they are dogfighters might even make them more credible in a lot of people's eyes because they would be more likely to know if Vick was involved or not simply because they were participating in the action. When you're involved in a ring like that you know who's involved and you're more likely to witness others doing it. It's kinda like how drug users a lot of times know other drug users because they do it together.
