Imprisoned NFL quarterback Michael Vick expects to return to pro football, according to his bankruptcy attorneys who laid out a plan to pay creditors based in part on his anticipated earnings.
“The Debtor has every reason to believe that upon his release, he will be reinstated into the NFL, resume his career and be able to earn a substantial living,” Vick’s attorneys wrote in a disclosure statement filed before a hearing Thursday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Norfolk.
The former Atlanta Falcons star is serving a 23-month sentence in a federal penitentiary for bankrolling a dogfighting ring in rural Virginia and is scheduled to be released on July 20.
Well, why not? Democrats are going to let Lieberman caucus with them again, even though he endorsed McCain. Forgive and forget, right?
Is there a particular reason to keep Vick out of the NFL? He’ll be an ex-con, who has done his time, trying to re-integrate into society. Normally we expect such people to get jobs, take care of themselves, and stay away from criminal behavior. If they do well, so be it; life is not always fair. And it’s not as if there’s some kind of risk to society here; he’s not a child molester looking for work in a day care center.
Well, there’s that whole role model thing, Randy. Charles Barkley can explain it.
If Michael Vick paid his due, let him play.
Let him play, The Bears do need a QB he payed his dues. as far as roll model (LOL) look at the Dallas Cowboy and or the Raiders.
