Goodell taking hard stance on Vick plea
Michael Vick and his attorneys are discussing various plea options with prosecutors, as Vick hopes to spend less than a year in prison for his part in a dogfighting ring.

Vick is not eager to cop a plea, until he knows how the plea will affect the decision of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Goodell, who has ruled the NFL with an iron fist, in his first year as the league's leader, refuses to divulge what kind of penalty he's going to levy against Vick. Goodell wants to wait for the final plea agreement, before making a decision.

This can't be good for the embattled Vick.

If the Atlanta quarterback spends a year in prison, he'll obviously miss that entire season. Goodell could then suspend Vick up to another full year, leaving him out of NFL play for two-plus seasons.

This could, in effect, lead to the end of Michael Vick's NFL career.
