NFLPA Keeps It Brief On Vick

The NFLPA just released a statement on disgraced Falcons quarterback Michael Vick who was released into home confinement today.

Said NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith, "We are glad that Michael Vick is committed to rejoining the community as a contributing member. The NFLPA supports him and his family as he works to rebuild his life off the field."

Short. Semi-sweet. To the point. And the right tone to sound publicly since Vick is still serving his sentence until July 20.

It's a certainty that Smith will take up for Vick's playing future at some point down the road but Smith sees - quite wisely - that this is not the time for saber-rattling on the subject.
