Michael Vick Eats It

It really doesn't come as much of a surprise that Michael Vick decided to plead guilty to the interstate dog-fighting charges that he and his boyz were facing. By taking a plea, he avoids the possible 20 year sentence for the RICO bust if this had gone to trial. Now, he's on the hook for about 12-18 months, with a maximum of five years.

What will be interesting to see is what happens to Vick after this whole "dog" thing is over and done with. The Commissioner has already told Vick, "Do not report to training camp, do not pass go, do not collect $200." I suspect that when he gets out of prison that the League will bench him for at least a year. Somewhere in there, I expect the Falcons to negate the rest of Vick's 10-year, $130 million contract. And, it's expected that, when all's said and done, it may be 2010 before Vick is ever allowed to play football again. And that's if he can get anyone to sign him.

Which I think would bring a end to the career of the most over-hyped running back in the history of...wait, he's a quarterback?

Huh. News to me.
