Report: Vick, Goodell meeting today
Rich Hofmann, Daily News Sports Columnist
Sam Farmer in the Los Angeles Times is reporting that Michael Vick will meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell today, prior to the Eagles' game against the Jets, and that Vick will be told when he is being reinstated by the commissioner.
This is all happening faster than I thought it would. While there is no hint about what the reinstatement date might be -- it could be anywhere from the first week to the sixth week of the season -- it sure seems as if it's going to be sooner rather than later. And Goodell is on the record already as saying that he thought Vick was taking the right steps.
The conventional wisdom has been wrong a couple of times already about Vick -- that the Eagles would never be interested, that the off-the-field protests and stuff would be paralyzing, that the fan base was painfully divided by the move. So, for what it's worth, my conventional wisdom all along was a reinstatement for Week 3.
We should know soon.
If the Eaggles do well early, no one will remember the Vick "issue". If the team does poorly everyone who abandoned the team will say they did so because of Michael Vick.

- Rich, Listening to the Commish on Mad Dog right now, have a feeling that Vick could be immediately reinstated. just a feeling from his defense of MV. Frpm what he is saying, I get the feeling that he thinks that Vick has paid the price.— ttulibacki
Comment removed.- JimM, in case you haven't heard, Myers was never convicted of anything. Furthermore, if Mrs. Myers continues to put up with it, that's on her. She is more than capable of leaving and taking half of what he has with her. How do you know, maybe that's their thing.— tbtante
- socalken, I am no fan of football or the Eagles. I'm in this purely for the sake of the dogs he ruthlessly tortured. I won't forget what he has done.— tbtante
