First was Adam "Pac Man" Jones, next was Tank Johnson, then Chris Henry, and now, it's Michael Vick. While not suspended yet, Vick is expected to become the biggest name to be disciplined by commissioner Roger Goodell after being indicted on chrages of having connections to illegal dog fighting.
"Where (Vick) is in the most trouble is that he lied to the commissioner. He told (Goodell) in April that he didn't know anything about this. The commissioner gave (Vick) every chance to come clean, be straight about what was going on. Instead, he just kept denying it." ~ a league source
The big question is how quickly and how long will Goodell suspend Vick without an actual conviction? Jones was suspended for one year without a conviction, and the Titans will surely expect a similar punishment for Vick. If Vick is given a lesser suspension, the Titans are likely to react citing Jones' ban as unfair.
Only time will tell for Vick and this issue, and be sure to watch for more as more details come out.
