ATLANTA -- Horrified by the dogfighting allegations against their star player,
the Atlanta Falcons planned to suspend quarterback Michael Vick for four games
until the NFL asked them to hold off while the league conducts its own
investigation.
What remains unclear: Has Vick played his final game for Atlanta?
"This sort of behavior is really horrific," Falcons owner Arthur Blank said
Tuesday, the team's first public comment since Vick was indicted last week.
"This is certainly not the player or the person that I knew the last six years."
The Falcons said they have discussed cutting Vick and seemed to signal he
will miss at least a fourth of the season even if NFL commissioner Roger
Goodell doesn't impose his own punishment against the quarterback, indicted on
federal charges of sponsoring a dogfighting operation.
Most tellingly, Blank said he would encourage Vick to give up any thoughts
of playing while the case is pending -- even if it means sitting out the entire
season. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Richmond, Va., on Thursday, the same
day the Falcons open training camp.
