....if he's found guilty of gambling then actually yeah they can refuse his payment and it's punishable by lifetime ban
I think Vick should be allowed to make his money and be employed by whoever so choses to employ him...he'll be forgiven he'll get his second chance but it's not really a penalty if you let him go right back to doing what he has been doing....he'd be back at dog fighting tomorrow
Re: Michael Vick TO PLEAD GUILTY!!!!
This shit contiunes to amaze me, i'm no vick fan and really don't care what happens to some assclown who makes millions and still can't stay out of trouble, but geeeezusss what's more of a crime. Vick killing his own freakin dogs or lindsey lohan driving around all coked up putting human life in danger, hell or pac man firing shots all over town bi-weekly. Give me a break.

To which I say PLAYING FOOTBALL IS A PRIVELEGE NOT A RIGHT!
People don't want Vick to play. Fine. Don't let him play. Just give him a check for 37 million and let him be on his way. Based on the contract he signed that's the guarantee money owed to him. That simple.
the NFL has rules and regulations that null and voids contracts if the code of conduct is not followed. He gets shit.

They can void the 10 year and w/e bonus money amount by voiding the contract but he san sue them for that guaranteed amount and he will win.

...I agree with you to an extent but what Vick admitted to doing was very sick....but all those people need to be locked up.
Pac Man hasn't be found guilty of anything but he should be locked up just for being stupid...he had a meeting with the commissioner the very next day and what does he do???? He goes to a fucking strip club to "get something to eat" and also "there weren't even any girls in there"......which sends up a red flag to me right away....it's wrong on so many levels. Naked people + food - women = SKETCHY

I doubt he can get back ALL of the guaranteed money, that signing bonus is GONE though which will put a major hurting on his finances.
If the NFL can prove Vick was betting not only is his money gone his career is over.
I have heard some people say the betting actually makes this situation a little less sickening...because if you're not betting you're just there to watch dogs get torn apart and killed for no other reason than watching the carnage.

He's not getting anywhere near the 103 mil but the thrity odd some guaranteed is gonna be tough for them to withhold. People will bet on anything but I can see that train of thought.
Re: Michael Vick TO PLEAD GUILTY!!!!
....well the NFL isn't stupid, they understand the difference between a friendly wager on the golf course or whatever and betting either on the sport they play or on an illegal activity
Re: Michael Vick TO PLEAD GUILTY!!!!
...the thing I find odd is that EVERYONE says Michael Vick was "THE MOST POLARIZING ATHLETES IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL"
If you say NOW then yeah I guess so, but to say when he first got in the league he was polarizing is just ridiculous.

That's a joke. He was a subpar qb with a rockey arm and really fast speed. He was essentially kordell stewart on roids. He does have a legacy in the madden gaming community tho. Everytime somebody does a qb scramble with a really fast qb to get a first down or touchdown, they say they "vick"'d it. ;D
Re: Michael Vick TO PLEAD GUILTY!!!!
Oh no doubt Michael Vick is a great athlete....but as just a regular person he's about 2 brain cells above retarded!
People are bringing up Leonard Little's troubles with DUI's and him killing a woman as "well this should mean Vick's trouble shouldn't be as bad as it will be"....and that's crazy too, Leonard Little should have never played another down in football and never seen the light of day as a free person again!
Roger Goodell is doing the right thing and playing an even hand to: Chris Henry, Pacman Jones, Michael Vick, and everyone else who gets in trouble....I would have had a long chat with Brian Urlacher as well after his comments about his baby mama

OK first of all, when Alan Colmes doesn't let you play the race card, you're taking an extreme approach that can't be supported loigcally. Secondly...............
O.J. Simpson
Way more high profile than vick at any point in his career. If there was an "anti-black celebrity/success" conspiracy, he would've went down. Vick pleaded guilty, what part of that do people not understand? He didn't want it to go to trial because he knew he'd lose.
