Michael Vick - Update

Well Mr. Vick is on a slippery slope and all his "boys" have now turned on him and are giving him some massive pushes to get him rolling down that hill.
For anyone in America that has been in a cave for the last 4 months, one Michael Vick one time starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons of the NFL, has been charged with setting up and running a dog fighting operation on property he owned in Virginia for the last 6 years. There are also multiple animal cruelty charges.
Now when the first court appearances were made one guy who granted had a falling out with Vick turned on him in a hurry and signed a plea deal to help the prosecution. This is never a good thing. Well now two of the other charged along with Vick have changed their pleas from not guilty to guilty and are helping the prosecution. This simply means that there is now a slam dunk case against Vick, he will not beat these charges. He now has 7 solid witnesses against him in this case that are known. Mr. Vick you are in trouble and you brought it all on yourself. You chose to associate with hoods, finance and participate in an illegal venture which is also seen by civilized people as disgusting. Most of your endorsements are gone forever and you future income potential has gone from the multiple millions over a lifetime to nothing except maybe a tell all book down the line.
If Vick doesn't strike a plea deal, as it is reported they are trying to do now, more charges are set to be files against him. So already looking at 5 years with more federal charges he could end up in jail for more than 10 years. You better plea and take anything they will give you otherwise not only is it your income potential lost but all that time you will spend behind bars.
Take the 1 or 2 years they offer you and hope you can recover in the NFL, if they let you back in. Personally if you plead guilty to this they should ban you for life.

This is such a stupid thing to have done to begin with. The reports state that you started this dog fighting operation 8 weeks after signing your first NFL contract. That is 6 years of this! And after signing a deal for money most people cannot in reality imagine ever having. You are an idiot there is no excuse there is no way they did it without you knowing. This started barely after getting an NFL contract and ran for 6 years on property you owned and sent money to for running and now after that amount of time you are trying to say you didn't know about it!

I hope every kid in college who hopes to play pro football keeps an eye on this case and watches as you piss your life away in jail for the next couple of years and it wakes them up to the fact that if they are privileged enough to do something like playing a game for a living and making millions, at least they can keep out of illegal troubles.
