Not if he's convicted of gambling on the dog fights.

I heard that they're alledging that he placed bets on the dog fights.

Let alone if he takes the plea deal, he will NEVER play in the NFL again on the grounds that he gambled on it.

I know he wish the XFL didn't fold.

IF HE BEATS IT, he plays.

If he takes the deal, I doubt he plays again, though it might be possible. As he gambled, but didn't bet on the NFL, he'd have grounds for reinstatement.

Two NFL players were gambling in Vegas and got in a fight a couple of months ago... Joey Porter and some guy from the Bengals, I think. No issues there.

Goodell could use the Gambling clause to suspend Vick for the season, but not a career banning. It wouldn't hold up in court (and you KNOW it would go there).
