I figure that Vick should get the lightest ban from Goddell out of the three pending suspensions (Burress, Vick, Stallworth) with Stallworth getting the most severe.

I figure a 3 or 4-year ban for Stallworth would be as effective as a lifetime ban. Vick and Burress should each receive around a year (Burress for being a repeat loser and Vick for the massive amount of negative publicity he brought on the NFL and the Falcons). By not putting a lifetime ban on Stallworth, Goddell leaves himself wiggle room to impose a ban when something extreme is done by a player. But you're right, it won't happen.

It's sad when financing a dog-fighting ring and allegedly killing a couple dogs lands you harder time than killing an innocent person. Say what you want about Vick, but at least he had to pay the price for his actions.
