NFL Commissioner to Review Quaterbacks Actions

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has had his hands full with quarterbacks this off season.  He has already suspended one, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.  But, after actions surrounding Vince Young and Michael Vick, could there be more discipline?

Vince Young Strip Club Fight

I don't know what it is with NFL players and strip clubs. But we always here about the trouble they get into why there. Why can't they just go and enjoy the sights? Instead there seems to be something stupid that starts a fight.

Tennessee Titan quaterback, Vince Young, was the latest player to participate in one of these strip club fights. The thing is that it didn't happen at the bar, but a backroom. Apparently a member of the staff showed an upside-down Hook'em Horns sign to Young, which is also apparently an insult to a Texas graduate. Vince Young once again showed his immaturity and went after the guy swinging. I understand having pride in your university, but throwing blows because of someone throwing a sign is just silly - especially at Young's age and income level. One punch from him equals a law suite!

Roger Goodell said yesterday that he doesn't expect any disciplinary action for Young.

Michael Vick and a Club Shooting

A former co-defendant in Michael Vick's dog fighting case was shot early Friday morning at club in Virginia Beach. Quanis Phillips was shot outside the club Guadalajara. Vick had hosted his 30th Birthday party at the club. According to his attorneys and the police, Vick was not at the club when the shooting took place.

Goodell said he is monitoring the situation and waiting for the full report. Part of the conditions of Vick's probation is that he not to have any contact with people from his dog fighting days. It is yet not known if Vick knew or invited Phillips to the party. It is hard to believe it is coincidence, but how could Vick be so stupid. He has millions of reasons to distance himself from his former mates, not to mention more prison time for breaking conditions of his probation. But then again, if Vick thought in the first place, he would never had been in jail the first time.
