Judge refuses NFL motion to reverse himself in Vick case

MINNEAPOLIS: A federal judge denied on Tuesday the NFL's motion that he vacate his earlier ruling that allows suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick to keep $16.5 million in bonuses.

U.S. District Judge David Doty also declined the NFL's motion that he recuse himself from the case. The league had accused him of bias.

Doty had ruled in February that the Falcons would violate the NFL collective bargaining agreement if they tried to recover the roster bonus money Vick already received.

Vick is serving a 23-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to federal charges in a dogfighting operation. After the plea, the Falcons tried to recover about $20 million in bonuses Vick earned from 2004 to 2007. A court-appointed expert concluded last October that the Falcons were entitled to recover the bonuses, but Doty disagreed, saying the team could only recover his signing bonuses.

Doty had jurisdiction over the case because he has long handled matters arising from the NFL's collective bargaining agreement with its players and has developed special expertise along the way. In his 15-page ruling Tuesday, he wrote that the NFL had failed to meet the "high bar" necessary to get a judge disqualified.

hj47h46 White man holding the black man down.

And forcing 16.5 million into his bank account. :huh:

The other white man 6g65dd

I have heard of the other white meat but not of the other white man. :huh:

The Man isn't a man, it's metaphorical and shit. White judge is not the Man I was talking about. The other white man would therefore be be the Falcons. Blank, McKay, I'm sure there is a white man involved.

I`m sorry but I failed to see where the Falcons (white men) had anything to do with the ruling.
It`s all about the League, one judge and his ruling.

Please don`t attempt to play a moronic race card when there is no card to be played.

I think he just means "The Man" in general. Besides, Flight is just being himself. Lotsa this shit: 45v6v

Yeah but he is the (self proclaimed) Emperor of Springfield while I just only own a Springfield. 7urjj

Spelled out:

The falcons are trying to hold the black man down. Vick is the Black man in case you get confused.

Taking money = holding the black man down.

I'm wondering how long it's going to take you to realize it's a joke.

See The Simpson's Movie

Why do you think I called you Moe earlier.

I was talking to the other white guy

I AM the other white meat.

you misspelled "bread."

That was actually funny you bastard.

OMG BT you let Flight get into your head? beyhg456y

Oh hell no, it`s just friendly banter. nr6

That's what they all say b667ur

Man I can't wait for Vick to come back. It is a good story. Whether it is here or somewhere else. I don't give a flip. AB keeps dicking him around, be a freaking man and say its over. Then let Tampa pick him up. You know Gruden will step on Atlanta anytime he can.
