It sure looks like it. According to the Virginian Pilot, the remaining two co-defendents have arranged plea deals and will be in court Monday.
That leaves just Newport News native and Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick on the hook.
New allegations could surface when [Purnell A.] Peace and [Quanis L.] Phillips accept plea agreements. When [third co-defendant Tony] Taylor pleaded guilty, prosecutors released a summary of facts that he agreed were true and that the U.S. government could prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
Among the new details in Taylor’s plea agreement was the assertion that Vick “almost exclusively funded” the dogfighting operation and supplied the money the men used to gamble on it.
Vick may be in EA Sports’ “Madden ’08” but I suspect we may have seen the last of him on the field for a while, if ever again.

Good riddance. And we thought Marcus was the “bad” one in the family. He’s looking pretty good right about now.
Toast. Burnt toast.
Wow. His attorney is looking pretty damned stupid right now for not being the first to reach a deal. That or Vick was naive enough to drag his feet on a plea and assumed that his codefendants weren’t going to sell him down the river.
Hey Mike? Like you, they’re the sort of people who shoot and electrocute dogs and actually own a device euphamistically called a “rape stand.” That should have been your first hint that they weren’t the sort of people you should trust with your life, you poor dumb bastard.
Two more plea deals means the Feds want to throw the book at Michael. Goodbye, Vick.
I agree with you Vivian — out on a plea deal is a helluva lot better than taking your chances on a trial, especially with all your co-defendants hauling ass for the tall grass.
But I’m not ready to say he would never play again. Ray Lewis went on trial for murder and all has been forgotten. Of course, everyone cares far more for dogs and cats than some poor bastard in an after-hours club who just happened to get in the way of Mr. Lewis and his posse (“Did anyone see my shank? I had it just a minute ago.”)
Believe me — some team will be in a jam a year or two down the road when both of their QB’s go down with injuries and are desperate enough to find a QB who can jump in and take the helm. They’ll turn to Vick who will have offered enough mea culpas and found Jesus by then that it will all be overlooked and they will sign him to a contract to get them to them the friggin’ playoffs . . .
If he can keep his butt out of jail — and the doghouse (I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist) — he’ll play again.
