Chris Mortensen, who reported that Michael Vick is unlikely to be indicted, has already backpeddled on that claim.  Of course, he backpeddled after Michael Vick was indicted.  He attributed the misinformation to the Falcons' belief that he would not be indicted, so his hands were clean.  Mort, you're a reporter.  You are the sum of your sources.  You have the ability to discern what's accurate.  Perhaps you could use mutliple sources to develop a consensus.

But wait - there's more!  Colherd Cowin (still awaiting the anagram) asked the appropriate question.  If the league is going to let him play, how will all this affect his performance?  He then went down the path of Kobe Bryant to cite an example of an embattled athlete performing under pressure.  Mort then brought up the name of Ray Lewis.  He had his best year and the Ravens won the Super Bowl.  So there's an implication there.  Here's the problem: Ray Lewis is what we call in the business "really good at football."  Alternatively, Michael Vick is what we in the business like to call "good enough at football."  If the Flacons trade for Brian Urlacher, I'll retract this post.
