Michael Vick Flies the Coop
Michael Vick is out of prison, and now has a lot of work to do in order to repair his image.
Former NFL QB and convicted dog murderer Michael Vick left Leavenworth Prison in Kansas early this morning, managing to evade the throngs of media waiting for him outside the jailhouse. Vick headed to his home in Hampton, VA, where he will finish serving out the last 2 months of his 23-month sentence under home confinement. He will also work a $10-an-hour construction job and remain under federal surveillance.
Vick’s PR machine is already full swing, trying to make a case to Roger Goodell that he is worthy of reinstatement. Oh, to be the soulless devils who make their living working on such a noble cause … I bet they sleep well at night.
Anyway, there’s TONS of coverage on this story out there this morning, so I figured I’d pass along a few links to some of the most interesting pieces we found:
- ESPN’s John Clayton speculates on the 5 teams Vick could end up with

- Shutdown Corner examines 4 other NFL Athletes who may or may not be worse than Michael Vick. Jerramy Stevens, anyone?
- Humane Society to work with Vick after his release [Sports Illustrated] … let’s just hope they have the same common sense as PETA did.
