If the NFL has the same restrictions as the NBA, any and all forms of gambling are forbidden with the exception of horse-racing at the track in the off-season. Vick has his hands in gambling, which in itself is forbidden, plus the type of gambling he did was illegal.
I don't know how anyone can say that he'll never play football again, though. Didn't you see The Longest Yard? Ha.
But seriously...Vick is going to be sitting in prison, lifting weights, running, doing what all prisoners do. When he gets out of jail, even if he serves 2 years, he'll still only be just turning 29 and will still be able to run a 4.4 40 with a cannon arm. With the number of teams throwing jobber quarterbacks out onto the field year after year, Vick will get picked up by someone for sure. Hopefully Goodell realizes this and makes Vick serve his inevitable suspension after his jail-time concludes to eat least prolong his absence from the sport. I think that will be the case as it seems that Roger is committed to clearing some of the filth out of the NFL.
