NFL Statement On Vick Plea Deal

Posted: 4:18 pm EDT August 20, 2007Updated: 4:21 pm EDT August 20, 2007

Here is the text of the NFL's statement on Michael Vick's plea deal on dogfighting charges:

"We are aware of Michael Vick’s decision to enter a guilty plea to the federal charges against him and accept responsibility for his conduct.

We totally condemn the conduct outlined in the charges, which is inconsistent with what Michael Vick previously told both our office and the Falcons.

We will conclude our own review under the league’s personal conduct policy as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we have asked the Falcons to continue to refrain from taking action pending a decision by the commissioner."
