Vick Ordered Not to Report to Camp - New England Patriots Forums

Per NFL Network, just herd the word that Vick is being ordered by the commish not to report to camp. Step one of what's going to be a long process for the dog killer.

Wouldn't that technically get in the way of the Falcons ability to claim 'default' status of Vick, thereby hampering any efforts of theirs to recoup paid bonus money from Vick? I mean, I know because he'll be in court when the Falcons open up camp, that he will be in default, but with the commissioner ordering him to stay away before it happens, doesn't that take some teeth out of the Falcon's argument should they decide to go after the money?

PFT has this as well...Goodell seems like he really gets it now. The 'Vick will not be suspended until the legal procedures are finished' statement is now inoperable. GOOD!!!

Link to Jay Glazer's article on it... not much info.

I think it puts Vick's status more in the hands of the commish and league office. If I've earned an opinion on Goodell, I believe he will take this matters into his own hands and go through his own suspension process. The Falcons are essentially powerless at this point. This whole thing is going to be drawn out and get really messy. We will hear about this every day leading up to September 9 when all the games are under way.

PFT actually had a story up an hour or two ago, citing a Fox 5 Atlanta report that Vick took a leave of absence. MDS was the author. Looks like it's down now, though.

I think a year should be in order with a pending longer suspension depending on the result in court.

and if the league suspends him for one year, in the event he is acquitted, the falcons won't look bad with Vick and the city of Atlanta because it wasn't Arthur Blank's doing.
