I have no issue if the NFL wants to implement rules for themselves involving felony convictions, but they currently don't. It would have to apply to all felonies. But the NFL just instituted a new 10 year agreement with the union so don't hold your breath.


BTW: I despise Vick as well but I believe in our system of justice even when things like this (or OJ or Casey Anthony) happen.
I agree with the last statement above, but I think it's fairly obvious that our system of justice is being molded (slowly) to meet the demands of pop culture and what is constantly making "news" on the 24-hour "news" networks.
