Vick indictment may be near

Filed in archive on June 6, 2007

It appears that Michael Vick may host dog fighting, after all.

The Atlanta Falcons Quarterback could soon be indicted for having dog fights at one of his homes.

An indictment could carry NFL sanctions from new NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, which would be big trouble for the Falcons.

Atlanta let backup Matt Schaub go this off-season and acquired former Detroit and Miami starter Joey Harrington, who has been a complete bust in five NFL seasons.

Now, if Vick is forced to miss time, due to his trouble with the law, Atlanta will have a major issue at the most important position in new coach Bobby Petrino's complex offensive system.

How this dog fighting thing plays out is yet to be seen; either way, Michael Vick is certainly causing big trouble for the Falcons, who would likely love to have Matt Shaub back.
