due process is for the state...the NFL is a private organization.

Federal is much different than State is my guess Mo, but i agree with you.  This is obviously a highly charged case that has a superstar player, dogs getting killed/tortured for financial gain.  That only real issue the feds have is the financial aspect, the dog's treatment is what motivates the public.

i'm just speaking in general with Goodell, he seems to make these decisions by the seat of his pants.  suspensions are different lengths, and now all of the sudden he's banning a player from camp?  has that been done before?

I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

basically i'm saying that Goodell is Hitler, and we are entering the golden age of NFL football.

Suspended with full pay.  Not a real, full-on punishment if you ask me.  Goodell half-assed it.  My guess is that since this appears to be a new action in the NFL, withholding pay would stir up the NFLPA hornet's nest a little too much.

Athletes aren't angels and never have been, but the idolization of this generation of thug athletes makes me sick. We grew up worshiping athletes and having role models to enjoy watching. Now we have walking, talking advertisements for ignorance and greed. Throw them all out of the league. Every league.

Imagine Allen Iverson doing a 'Stay in School' public service announcement... athleticism shouldn't give you carte blanche to act like a douchebag for the rest of your life.

So he's indicted for several federal crimes yet his employer sees fit to reward him with what amounts to a paid vacation?

Sounds like he works for the Bush Administration.

I see it more as a method to keep a simmer on the frothing, bite-hungry reporters showing up to Falcons camp than a punishment for Vick. Not that it would be a great help, but still.

The man. The myth. The legend.

He's getting paid because of "due process" - Goodell doesn't want him making a circus of an NFL camp.  If Vick is convicted, you can be sure the $$ will be going away, perhaps even retroactively.
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

Blank is supposed to be having a 4pm PC at Flowery Branch.

I'm sure he'll say a whole lot of nothing.

i dont think this is the full extent of the punishment...this is just to avoid the circus at camp this week.

i think it is smart...because as bleak of a chance there is that he is somehow innocent of the charges...IF he is found innocent everyone would go nuts like the DUKE case. this is goodells way of saying sit out for now and we will decide your fate further based on the results of the trial. and im pretty sure that when he is found guilty, the falcons and the nfl will take swift action.

btw i wish those PETA idiot and other protestors would STFU. i dont wanna see thier creative "NFL SACK VICK NOW" signs on tv anymore. dumbasses act like the NFL will not take any action or that they should just take immediate action. its more complicated than that and if anything goodell has shown he isnt soft or unwilling to punish players.

next time they protest in front of the NFL offices...goodell should release the hounds on them.
