More than football, Now that he has pleaded gulty, Michael Vick's freedom is out of the question.
With three associates prepared to testify that he brutally executed dogs and bankrolled gambling, the NFL star agreed Monday to "accept full responsibility" for his role in a dogfighting ring and plead guilty to federal conspiracy charges.
Worries about playing time will have to wait while Vick faces prison time — from one to five years.
The maximum term is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although federal sentencing guidelines likely would call for less. Defense attorneys would not divulge details of the plea agreement or how much time Vick can expect to serve.
Michael Vick's Football Career is over. Period. There is no team one to five years from now that would be that desperate to take a chance on Vick.
Where does this leave the Falcons? It leaves them looking at a terrible mess and an upcoming terrible season. Atlanta will finish 2-14, and will have the first pick in the NFL Draft Next Year. I see the Falcons taking Brian Brohm, the Louisville Quarterback. Why? Because Brohm's coach Last Season was Bobby Petrino, who is now the Atlanta Falcons Coach. Of Course, I could see them suprisingly take a guy like John David Booty out of USC or (even more suprisingly) Colt Brennan, Quarterback out of Hawaii.
