I wonder how the CFL or Arena feel about dog murderers?

Report: Falcons will try to recoup signing bonuses from Vick
The Atlanta Falcons will attempt to reclaim $22 million in bonuses already paid to Michael Vick, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Saturday, citing an unnamed source with knowledge of the team's plans. Vick was suspended indefinitely from the National Football League on Friday, hours after he filed a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in which he admitted to bankrolling a dogfighting operation. The suspension clears the way for the Falcons to pursue bonus payments already made to Vick.

Mike Vick, the minus 22 Million Dollar Man.
Or 3 Million Dollars per life, almost, in Dog Deaths.

Vick finally gets into a jam he can?t escape
Sunday, August 26, 2007
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) ? Michael Vick can only hope he will get more leniency from the judge than he did from the NFL.
Roger Goodell?s letter informing the Atlanta Falcons quarterback of his suspension reads almost like a goodbye, the NFL commissioner doing nothing to hide his disgust and his disdain.
A similar reaction by U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson, who will be presented with Vick?s plea agreement on Monday, could mean years in prison.
In court papers, Vick admitted bankrolling ?Bad Newz Kennels? and participating in the killing of dogs in the dogfighting operation. But he tried to deflect much of his culpability in the grisly enterprise onto his friends.

Vick set to plead guilty today in dogfighting case
Monday, August 27, 2007
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) ? His NFL career already in tatters, Michael Vick must now wait to find out the full impact his legal troubles.
The Atlanta Falcons quarterback was expected to formally enter his guilty plea to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge Monday. Then, it?s up to U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson to decide whether to accept it.
Capping one of the most rapid and startling falls from stardom in U.S. sports history, Vick will make official the agreement his attorneys worked out with prosecutors.
In his written plea filed in federal court Friday, Vick admitted helping kill six to eight pit bulls and supplying money for gambling on the fights. He said he did not personally place any bets or share in any winnings.

A second chance that should ? and will ? be a long time coming
Monday, August 27, 2007
By JIM LITKE
AP Sports Columnist
Would the public be clamoring just as loudly for Michael Vick?s head if he?d come clean after being caught with a suitcase full of illegal steroids? Or cocaine? Or beating up a woman?
Just asking.
Because in all those cases, depending on aggravating circumstances and a number of other factors, the fine and jail time Vick would face after pleading guilty ? in his case, to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge ? could be roughly the same. In terms of what else Vick stands to lose, it isn?t even close.
