That would mean Culpepper would be the back up to Joey Harrington for the second year in a row on two different teams! How many times does that happen?

Co-defendant: Vick bankrolled dogfighting ring
NFL.com wire reports
RICHMOND, Va. (July 30, 2007) -- One of Michael Vick's co-defendants pleaded guilty Monday to his role in a dogfighting conspiracy he says was financed almost entirely by the Atlanta Falcons quarterback.
As part of a plea agreement, Tony Taylor pledged to fully cooperate with the government in its prosecution of Vick and two other men accused of running an interstate dogfighting enterprise known as "Bad Newz Kennels" on Vick's property in rural Surry County.
"The 'Bad Newz Kennels' operation and gambling monies were almost exclusively funded by Vick," a summary of facts supporting the plea agreement and signed by Taylor states.

My friend said he heard it on ESPN radio. I doubt there is any chance the rumor is true.
Beside Gibbs would never let Brunell go.

Chris do you honestly believe the Skins can get that inexchange for Brunell, or are you simply setting high conditions for a trade, in order to keep him in DC?

He'll most likely go to a celeb prison and I wouldn't be shocked to see a team pick him up once he gets out.
A sad but very likely indictment of the US legal system. Sad but true, justice is -not- equal for all.Irn-Bru wrote:I agree on both counts. He will put in his time in prison and in the meantime make a PR campaign about his changed life (ESPN may be boycotting him now, but they will eat up interviews and specials near the time of his return). He may change on the inside, too.
But, the point is that in 2 years (more likely for his actual time served than 3 years; it could even be less than 2) he will be a 29-30 year old quarterback who is still very athletic and will likely be hungry for another chance in the NFL. At that point, teams will have QBs comparable to the quality level of Brooks Bollinger, Aaron Brooks, and Rex Grossman. Vick will get another roster spot in the NFL (and perhaps another big paycheck after a year or two). If he wants it badly enough.
For those hoping that Vick will be tortured in prison in the same way that he tortured dogs, you might be out of luck. Like CLL said, he could very well end up in a celeb prison, and secondly, the guy is jacked and won't have any problems making influential friends in prison.

I don't know whether he was sincere or not, but if I had one shot at making a statement of that magnitude, I'd sure as heck write down the important things I wanted to talk about. Heck, every week on the B. Lloyd show I write down little 1-3 word phrases to help me remember to cover the things I want to cover.
. Howd you know that, T.J. Duckett must have given us the play book when was here.
