Schaub-enfreude
So tell me, Atlanta Falcons fans — how are you feeling about that Matt Schaub trade right about now?
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on charges related to illegal dogfighting.
Vick and three others are charged with competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting and conducting the enterprise across state lines.
Didn’t you just get a sense that something like this would happen just months after Schaub was traded? Right when the Falcons needed a guy like that the most, it’s too late. He was already dealt to Houston. Schaub may not solve all of the Texans’ problems, but he certainly could have solved a lot of Atlanta’s problems right about now, huh?
Not quite, Atlanta. You get Joey Harrington. Good luck with that. Ha ha.
