It appears NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will take his time deciding whether or not to suspend Falcons quarterback Michael Vick for breaking the player conduct policy after allegedly participating in illegal gambling and dog fighting.

No timetable has been set for Goodell’s decision, NFL vice president of public relations Greg Aiello said.

“No decision’s been made,” Aiello said. “The commissioner has already said he’ll get to it as soon as possible.”

Good for Goodell, he should take his time dealing with something as serious as this. Most of us want to see a quick and serious punishment handed down to Vick, but maybe the latter can’t happen if the former does. With the way Goodell handled Pacman and Chris Henry’s legal situations, I think he’s earned the public’s respect that he’ll eventually make the right decision regarding Vick.

The Falcons on the other hand, should want an immediate suspension. Everything out of their camp is about how players and coaches have moved on. They’ve got a season to think about and the sooner Vick is handed a yearlong suspension (or worse) by the league, the better for them. They don’t need any more distractions.

Instead of Monster Park field, the San Francisco 49ers have decided to name their home digs, Bill Walsh Field, in honor of the late head coach who passed away recently due to complications with leukemia.

This is an outstanding decision and one that should be celebrated around the league. With all the commercialism going on in the NFL today – especially with stadium names – I think it’s great to see a team honor such a prominent figure like Walsh. I think more teams should honor icons like Walsh, instead of selling out to the highest sponsor just to make a quick buck.

Walsh meant so much to that organization and to the league in general – excellent job 49ers.

Browns head coach Romeo Crennel told the Akron Beacon-Journal that a coin flip would decide who starts at quarterback for the team’s preseason opener against the Chiefs on Saturday. Rookie Brady Quinn will not be a part of the fifth grade coin flip system; instead it will be between Derek Anderson and Charlie Frye to determine who will start.

”I think that (a flip of the coin) is the fairest way to those guys because no one knows who is going to start ahead of time,” Crennel said.

Come on – are you serious? I understand that this is only preseason and in the grand scope of things, it really doesn’t matter. I also understand how Crennel may want to put the two quarterbacks in, “surprising situations” and see how they react. However, this is where head coaches make the big boy decisions. You can do a coin flip in a flag football game with a couple of buddies, but this is the NFL. What happens when you have to make a decision in a month Romeo? Rock, paper, scissors time?

No, you grade either quarterback up to this point, determine who deserves to start and tell them to get prepared because this is his chance. Then you tell the other one that he’s close, but he’s got to go out and perform at a higher level. Whether it’s the first preseason game or the Super Bowl, no other team is doing a coin flip to determine the starting quarterback.
