The Facts:
A California congressman has joined the cause against Michael Vick, firing off a letter Friday that urged NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to "act swiftly and forcefully" if the Falcons' QB was involved in dog fighting on his former property. U.S. Rep. Tom Lantos (D-Calif.) raised the prospect of government intervention if the NFL fails to discipline Vick. "I am outraged that one of the National Football League's superstars is affiliated with such a heinous enterprise," Lantos wrote.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Last month, police raided a Virginia home owned by Vick and allegedly found evidence of a major dog-fighting operation, including dozens off malnourished and injured dogs. The QB has denied any wrongdoing and no criminal charges have been filed against him. Investigators in the case are, however, scheduled to meet with the local prosecutor early next week, so that could change. As always, stay tuned. We'll continue following this story to resolution.
