It looks like Michael Vick has copped a plea regarding the dog fighting allegations. Click here to see what I wrote about the allegations last month.A plea bargain for Michael Vick confuses me. I always thought that plea bargains were used to leverage information from criminals. As in, "We'll chop three years off your sentence if you give us info on the Godfather."
Two defendants in the dog fighting indictment have already rolled over and begged for the prosecution. So what can the prosecution possibly need from Vick?
I suppose a plea agreement saves the taxpayers a costly trial, but something smells fishy. They must have given Vick something to agree to, and we won't know what that is until it comes out at the hearing.
Until then, all you can say is, "What a bozo."
In 2004, this man signed a 10-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons. Pay check: $130 million dollars. And he pissed it all away killing dogs.

If they have dropped the gambling charge, then he can still play after his sentence. Gamblers are suspended from the NFL for life, felons are not. I wonder if all those millions invested by the Falcons could have anything to do with it?
