MICHAEL VICK IS GOING TO JAIL…
NEXT MONDAY VICK WILL PLEAD GUILTY TO PROMOTING DOG FIGHTING…
THE QUESTION OF HOW LONG HE’LL SPEND IN JAIL IS STILL NOT KNOWN…
BUT OVER THE WEEKEND CNN WAS REPORTING THAT THE OFFER ON THE TABLE STARTED AT 18 MONTHS BUT COULD BE AS MUCH AS 3 YEARS…
VICK WAS FACING UP TO 5 YEARS IN JAIL AND WAS EXPECTED TO GET HIT TODAY WITH RACKETEERING CHARGES…
LAST WEEK THREE CO-DEFENDANTS FLIPPED AND REVEALED THAT VICK WAS MUCH MORE THAN JUST THE MONEY MAN…
ACCORDING THEM…VICK HUNG AND DROWN DOGS THAT DID NOT PREFORM…
EARLIER TODAY HIS LAWYER BILLY MARTIN ISSUED THIS STATEMENT…
“MICHAEL WISHES TO APOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN HURT BY THIS MATTER”…
NO WHERE IN THAT STATEMENT IS THERE ANY MENTION OF THE PAIN AND SUFFERING VICK AND HIS PARTNERS INFLICTED ON THE DOGS…
AS FOR THE PRICE VICK WILL PAY FOR THOSE ACTIONS…JAIL TIME IS JUST THE START…
THE DOG FIGHTING ALSO INVOLVED GAMBLING WHICH WILL ALLOW THE NFL TO BAN VICK FOR LIFE…
IN OTHER WORDS HIS FOOTBALL CAREER IS ALMOST CERTAINLY OVER…
THEN THERE’S THE MONEY…
TWO YEARS AGO VICK SIGNED A 10 YEAR CONTRACT WORTH $130 MILLION DOLLARS…
HE HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID $40 MILLION…
HOWEVER $37 MILLION OF THAT CAME IN THE FORM OF SIGNING BONUSES…
PLEADING GUILTY NOT ONLY ALLOWS THE ATLANTA FALCONS TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT IT ALSO OPENS THE DOOR TO RECLAIM ALL OF THOSE SIGNING BONUSES…
IF THE TEAM IS SUCCESSFUL IN THAT ATTEMPT…BY THE TIME PAYS HIS LEGAL FEES AND GETS OUT OF JAIL…VICK COULD BE FLAT BROKE…
THERE ARE THOSE WHO WOULD ARGUE THAT THE PUNISHMENT IS STILL NOT ENOUGH…
BUT THINK ABOUT IT…
VICK IS NOW 27 YEARS OLD…HE’LL BE 30 WHEN HE GETS OUT OF JAIL…
WITH NO FOOTBALL…NO MONEY…AND A CRIMMINAL RECORD…
WHAT DO YOU THINK HIS OPTIONS WILL BE???
FOR MICHAEL VICK THIS STORY IS NOT GOING TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING…
IT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH…BUT DAMN…IT’S CLOSE…
