How Many Games Should Vick Be Suspended?

Doesn't the new NFL policy say that they don't have to be proven guilty yet to be suspended? Roger is going to drop the hammer because this has gotten so much publicity. Eight games at least.

Yes it does but it also says something about repeat offenders which Vick is not. I said 0 days because he has not been found guilty of anything at this point. I do think he committed the crimes but until it goes to trial he still is cosidered innocent in the eye's of the law. If they did suspend him I think it would give the Falcons an easy out and what fun is that. I hope he shows up to training camp and plays this season because it will be fun to watch the media circus around the team, and the protesters that are bound to show up at some point.

It also states that there needs to be an established pattern of disruptive behavior in order for a suspension without conviction to take place. This is Vick's first offense.
