You really have to feel for Michael Vick -- well, not really. The ones who are the big losers are his agent, the ones who paid him a fortune in endorsements, and his brother, Marcus, who may have to do something other than live off his brother's largess.
But make no mistake about - Vick is done. Unlike Kobe or O.J., he can't blame the victim -- what the dogs wanted to fight? Furthermore, while he's an exciting player, Vick is not a winner. And at the end of the day, there are those who will hold their nose in order to keep a winner on the team.
Tom Brady, Payton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger are not flashy but they each have a Super Bowl ring. Vick, in contrast, takes off as soon as he sees his first receiver covered -- without bothering to see if the second or third receiver is open. Sure the team has shown flashes of brilliance with Vick at the helm but they never got far in the playoffs.
It seems the NFL will let the justice system run its course and let Vick play but what team can afford to have a QB play with an indictment? Don't you think that it's going to have some impact on his psyche?
Anyway you look at it, this is a no-win situation for the Falcons -- look for them to cut their losses quickly.
