Actually Vick is admitting to putting up purses in the dog fights, but not taking the winnings. He's admitting to agreeing the dogs be killed, but not to killing the dogs.

I'm sure if you asked if he smoked Marijuana, he'd say he smoked Marijuana, but didn't inhale.

I'm not defending him, he deserves whatever punishment he gets and more.

It just sounds like you guys are trying to say he's more afraid of admitting to gambling than killing the dogs. His lawyers are trying to set it up so that it can be a grey area on all accounts.

If he admits that he gambled on it then his football career is over. His lawyers knew he wasn't going to get off the hook on everything, so it was best that he admit to killing the dogs, do minimal jail time, and then come back and have a chance to play again. I guarantee you there will be a team that will take the chance on him when he comes back.

Thre only way a team will pick him up is if the NFL lets him play again. It is not up to Vick or a team.

How can they keep him from playing again after he serves his sentence, assuming he is able to keep the gambling aspect out of it.

In turn for the millions that players can earn, sports leagues, both by league policy and in individual player contracts, prohibit players from doing all kinds of things. Gambling is just one example.

I remember a discussion some years ago about baseball contracts that prohibited players from participating in other sports, where the risk of injury was considered too great. Skiing was one sport that fell into this category.
