Report: Plaxico Burress and Mike Vick To Be Suspended Indefinitely
Holy Joe Namath — Not that we are too concerned with Vick, although I still get e-mails saying that you guys want him. It looks like we can stop talking about both.

Green told Sirius Radio he has a “hard time” believing Parcells is not going to bring in Vick. “Now, whether it means convincing the Commissioner or whatever it takes, Michael Vick is probably going to wind up at ...

FanHouse — by Stephanie StradleyAs reported earlier, Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports cites sources suggesting that Michael Vick and Plaxico Burress could be sitting out for a long time, due to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's concerns about their legal matters. Though the happy talk from the NFL is that the personal conduct policy is working (Donte Stallworth's victim notwithstanding, I guess), the players are not terribly comfortable with a system that has no specific rules and has no neutral arbiter. All Hail Roger Goodell ... Or Else: A Look At the NFL Personal Conduct Policy originally appeared on ...
