Summary
New starting quarterback Joey Harrington called [Michael Vick]'s case "a non-issue" within the team and added that "obviously we all wish him well." Veteran tight end Alge Crumpler assured me, "We're so busy putting in plays in coach (Bobby) Petrino's offense, I promise you no one's thinking of Michael's situation." And safety Lawyer Milloy, while acknowledging the loss of Vick "stung," went to great length in explaining why "all things happen for a reason," and how the Falcons are "a team that has a plan" with Petrino in charge.
"By design, that was a very important thing to [Petrino]," a team source said. "And these players are completely unphased by the situation. There's no sense of 'Woe is me' around here. There hasn't been any of that with these guys.""It's been all about football and this season," Crumpler said. "That's been it. I mean that's it. The course is right. Where we go this season is a mystery to me. But I know the course is right. There are a few great stories that unfold every year in the NFL."Whatever is looming as the next shoe to drop in this saga, be it a plea agreement from Vick, a league-issued suspension, or some other development, the scenario that grows a little closer to a certainty by the day is that Vick has played his last game of football for quite some time.See the full content of this document
