If you are a true Saints fan I don't believe for a nano second that you won't be watching the Saints/Falcons two games this season regardless of who the QB is. Anyone who doesn't think the Falcons and the NFL don't want to sack Vick are kidding themselves. They would make many more fans and probably more money in the long run by suspending Vick now. This is a case of setting a dangerous precident of suspending a player with no prior arrests for being CHARGED with a crime. Once you go down that road any player charged with any crime could be suspended. This will most likely be a situation where Vick faces a year of paid leave. It gets him off the field and out of the public eye and it removes the possibility of suspending a player charged with a crime for the fist time.
