I think that the real crime of the 1919 CWS scandal was that Landis should have waited until a criminal trial that found the players guilty had ocurred; before handing down this lifelong penalty and not before. I think of this as the first "trial by media".
I do believe in letting him and any one else charged with a crime have their day and their say in court. I believed he will be fined at most. I really think some better judgement could have been shown by Vick.[/quote]

Yes, he should have been more aware, if he claimed he didn't know what was happening, of what was happening. Oh well.[/quote]
