Did the NFL Prevent Michael Vick from becoming a Bengal?

  Does it not appear Roger Gooddell over stepped his bounds? Can you imagine the outcry if David Stern had called Lebron during the decision and told him he had to play for the Knicks?

  1. Goodell needs to die in a fire.
  2. At the same time, Vick should probably send him a thank you card, lol.

  Vick and Pacman tearing it up in the Nati would have been worth the price of admission the admission to Inner City.

  "Those two teams wanted him and would’ve allowed him to start,"
  
  So the Bengals were going to sit Palmer and let Vick start straight from jail??? Doubtful.

  The eagles probably wish the deal had gone through after the first half tonight.

  It makes you wonder if there are other instances of it. After all, it seems like there are a high numer of guys in FA who wind up with the NY Jets, New England, Baltimore etc.

  It wouldn't have mattered if he went to Cincy anyway.. Bratkowski couldn't adapt to his offensive players over 7-8 years he sure wouldn't have been able to figure out how to use Vick in one offseason...

  Based on that logic, all the free agents would have signed with Pittsburgh, Green Bay Indianapolis.

  I think you just named three franchises that had major salary cap issues.
  
  On the topic: Yes, I think it happened and now everyone is lying. Scumbags.
