Vick's defense is that he didn't know what's going on at the house, and Tony Taylor's statement is that he acted "as Vick's agent" in spending the money. He didn't go anywhere with Vick, he just used his money. So Vick can get nailed a little, but he can still claim ignorance to a reasonable standard of doubt. End result would be a slap on the wrist. This might end up with Vick no worse off than Ray Lewis. I don't think that coffin is nailed shut on Vick just yet. He may still be a dick and he may never recover all his marketing mojo but I kind of expect him to walk out of this and onto an NFL field next season. This year is blown, but he's going to end up on a new team anyway, so this year was already blown.starkweatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067659960128584230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-71130941207839727802007-07-30T14:23:00.000-04:002007-07-30T14:23:00.000-04:00I'd think that McHale as a former Celtic could sel...I'd think that McHale as a former Celtic could sell KG on going to Boston.
