I will defer to your opinion on this but in regards to my original post I meant a charge that would be likely to bring down his NFL career. He might get charged with a crime, but that doesn't mean it would ruin his career. I mean if Vick can get charged with killing dogs and spend 2 years in prison and still resume his career when he gets out, I don't see this resulting in anything that would amount to a lifetime ban from the NFL. Even if he did get convicted of obstruction of justice I still don't see the punishment ruining his career. Only way I see this ruining his career is if he actually did the deed, or assisted in some way that would make his prison sentence 10+ years. That's the point I was trying to get at without spending too much time on the subject.
