Vick Stands Alone

The final two defendants in the dog fighting case of Michael Vick have decided to cop a plea.  At this point, Vick stands alone as the only defendant thus far to not plead “guilty”.

Meanwhile, the L.A. Times reports [1], the NFL is still “gathering facts”.   Word from the Times and other sources, is that the league is considering a season long suspension of Vick.

Apparently, the league needs a little help in coming to the right decision.  To put what’s right, over what’s profitable.   The man should have been summarily dropped by the league.  Given the amount of money… and celebrity [2]… involved, however, I guess I’m not surprised that they didn’t do that.
What will also not surprise me is the backlash the NFL will get from the fans, and the general population, should they decide to take the  path I’m hearing they plan on taking.
