I think you are being a little hard on the commissioner. It has been two days since the indictment. Let's wait and see what happens.

If Vick is more than just guilty by association, which I think he probably is, Goodell will certainly do the right thing.

Goodell and the nfl had more time than the rest of the public about Vick and this case. The NFl is a joke. I will be watching only ncaa football from now on.
