(NEW) FEATURE ARTICLE ARCHIVE: UPDATE on Michael Vick Former Falcons QB: Could He Be Coming Back To Atlanta. Michael Vick, now 28, was sentenced to 23 months in the Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary Camp back in December of 2007. As part of his plea agreement, he was to serve at least 18 months in prison. It's been a year (as of December 10, 2008) since he was tossed in prison and the rumor mill has been spinning out of control. There have been several rumors surrounding Vick's like did he play for the prison team? Did he really buy a $200,000 Mercedes-Benz to drive himself to prison? Is he filing bankruptcy? Will he be released from prison early? Is he coming back to the NFL to play for the Atlanta Falcons? Yada yada yada… but which rumors are true and which are just rumors? Well, SPM did a little digging and found that the rumor of Vick suiting up and playing for the prison team is just a rumor. Prison officials said he might have thrown the ball around to some of the prison inmates out on the yard, but as far as him actually suiting up and playing for the prison team, it just isn’t true. The prison season had already begun by the time Vick arrived. Then there’s the rumor of him buying a $200,000 Benz to drive himself to prison and then having to file bankruptcy. There is a little truth to this. The word on the street is he went on a quarter-million-dollar ($250,000) shopping spree, part of which was spent on a new Benz, which was said to have cost $100,000, not $200,000. So the spending of the money part is true, but spending it all on one big ticket item, such as a Mercedes-Benz, that’s just a rumor. However, when it comes to him filing bankruptcy, that part is apparently true. A brother’s hurting right now and he along with his attorneys are in the process of talking with the courts to see if they can come up with a budget for a Chapter 11. His bills must far exceed his earnings – BUT WAIT... he isn’t earning anything at the moment so if he has any bills they are probably well overdue. You see, boys and girls, frivolous spending and reckless living can land you straight in the poorhouse (or even the big house.) As far as the rumor of Vick being released from prison early (May or June of 2009), this seems to have some truth to it as well. As part of his plea agreement, he agreed to serve 18 months in prison, after which he would be released to a halfway house where he would serve the remainder of his 23-month sentence. Vick being from Virginia, that’s where he would more than likely be assigned to a halfway house. Now let’s talk about the rumor of Vick coming back to the NFL, more specifically the Atlanta Falcons. Although he and the Falcons GM have talked over the past few months while Vick’s been incarcerated, there’s been no definitive plan for a Mike Vick homecoming. Even if Vick wanted to play ball in Atlanta, he would first need to get released, then apply for and be granted permission to move to a halfway house in Atlanta, and finally, tryout for and win a spot on the Falcons squad. If the Falcons decide to pass on bringing Vick back to the team, which seems to be the way things are looking according to NFL insiders, then he would have to shop around for a team who would have him. It may prove to be a difficult undertaking, considering he can’t leave the state in which he’s assigned to a halfway house. And from what I’ve heard, receiving a guest pass to leave the state isn’t so easy. This QB may just get shut out of the NFL after all! Mission accomplished, PETA! *
