What I'm trying to say, at least, is that the NFLPA isn't going to hang him out to dry with what's out there right now.

Goodell might (and probably should) suspend him, but the NFLPA will fight it at some level.

I didn't say people were condoning it. But what jwins said is dead on. This is 10 times worse than what PacMan did. It's just disgusting.

It's human to assign levels of "badness" to these acts, but honestly if the NFL (meaning Goodell) has any kind of scale to differentiate shooting at another human being and dog-fighting, the problem is much worse than we already know.

pac man didn't shoot anybody. you don't need a scale to differentiate between some dumbass who just isn't smart enough to keep his nose out of trouble, and somebody who organizes a huge dog fighting ring. it takes a very sick/scary person to do what we all know Mike Vick did/is doing.

Oh I agree. Both are wrong. Throw the book at both of them. I don't have a problem at all.

But I guess I'm just being cynical when I say that the NFLPA won't hang Vick out to dry.

I can't see how they can realistically defend him.

Neither do I, but the cynic side of me says they'll find a way.
