[Coach Rip]

I feel that is what should be practiced, ...................I really get annoyed with all the talking heads on TV calling for someone's head when the person has not been tried in the court of law, ............................case in point Duke Lacrosse, team was dismantled, coach was fired, kids kicked out of school, all for accusations. Like Justice Clarence Thomas, coined a phrase, "Hi-Tech lynching" ........... I think the falcons and only the falcons should make a decision on vick, for the team's sake, ................. nfl should reserve judgment, and so should we until the facts are given in court.

A few years back, Rashad Casey, Penn state QB, was allegedly "involved " in a fight with an off duty police officer. The talking heads, espn, local news people JoePa haters and Penn State haters were all calling for the young man's head on a platter, ................"kick him off the team, throw him in jail, blah blah...."

The sports community was incredulous when they asked Joe Paterno why he had not disciplined the player, ..................He responded, " I'll discipline him when I see something worth disciplining."

How dare Joe Paterno make that decision, .................they were calling him every name in the book, ............."He's out of touch, He just wants to win, he thinks he above the law, "

Joe had the young man's best interest at heart, .........Casey was entering his senior year and was good enough to have a shot at playing on Sundays.

Long Story cut short, ....................Casey was cleared, ..............CLEARED of the charges, .............. Joe stuck by his guns, did what was the proper thing to do, ........ unlike Puke University, I mean Duke..............

The bad thing for Vick is that a Grand Jury indicted him, which is not good, ..............and if he stays with the falcons, they will have a media circus on their hands which can affect the team..............but I think that is their call as a team, ........nfl should stay out of it until a verdict is reached.
