Is sacked from the NFL as if Lofa Tatapu (Seattle Seahawks #51) sacked him at Qwest Field.  The letter is HERE, posted by ESPN.

Thank you, Commissioner Roger Tatapu Goodell, as a dog owner and huge Seahawks fan.  You are a hero to me, having done what had to be done against pressure to do otherwise.  It is very unlikely but remotely possible Michael Vick will play pro sports again thanks to your actions today.

Below are key quotes - I have OCR'd the letter for your download HERE so you can copy text from it.  This is all too good, too morally clear to bold just parts of it.

Your admitted conduct is not only illegal, but also cruel and reprehensible. The conduct your co-defendants have admitted to, in which you are directly implicated, simply reinforces that conclusion. Your team, fans and the NFL have all been hurt by your actions. You have lied to your teammates and coaches, to the Falcons' owner and management, and also to me.

Your plea agreement and the plea agreements of your co-defendants also demonstrate your significant involvement in illegal gambling. Even if you personally did not place bets, as you contend, your actions in funding the betting, and your association with illegal gambling both violate the terms of your NFL Player Contract, and expose you to corrupting influences in derogation of one of the most fundamental responsibilities of an NFL player.

Quite apart from whatever sentence is ultimately imposed upon you by the federal court in Virginia, your conduct plainly merits a significant sanction by the NFL. You have engaged in conduct detrimental to the welfare ofthe NFL and have violated the League's Personal Conduct Policy.

. . .

I will review the status of your suspension following the conclusion of the legal proceedings. As part of that review, I will take into account a number of factors, including the resolution of any other charges that may be brought against you, whether in Surry County, Virginia, or other jurisdictions, your conduct going forward, the specifics of the sentence imposed by Judge Hudson and any related findings he might make, and the extent to which you are truthful and cooperative with law enforcement and league staff who are investigating these matters. I urge you to give these individuals your full cooperation.

. . .

You are now justifiably facing the consequences for the decisions you made and the conduct in which you engaged. Your career, freedom, and public standing are now in the most serious jeopardy. I hope that you will be able to learn from this difficult experience and emerge from it better prepared to act responsibly and to make the kinds of choices that are expected of a conscientious and law abiding citizen.

It took genuine character of Commissioner Goodell to spit in evil's face.  As the Jews say: Bar Hakavod - all the glory to you (today)!

I just hope I don't regret this post, Commissioner.  I will if you let him back into the NFL.
