Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick has agreed to pay nearly $1 million for the care of about 54 pit bulls found on his property during a dogfighting raid.


His lawyer William R. Martin said in court documents that Vick will deposit $928,073.04 by Friday to an escrow account.

The money is "to be used to pay whatever restitution money is ultimately ordered in this case," states the document, known as a consent order.


Prosecutors pointed in court documents to Vick's deteriorating financial condition. Among the points cited:

• The Atlanta Falcons' attempt to recoup bonus money from his 10-year, $130 million 2004 football contract,
• Vick's alleged default on a $1.3 million bank loan for a wine store,
• Another bank's lawsuit seeking payment for default on a $2.5 million line of credit,
• A third bank's lawsuit seeking at least $2 million for loans related to a car-rental business.

"In addition, published reports also indicate that Vick is in the process of selling assets, specifically a suburban Atlanta home listed at $4.5 million," the court papers said


:woot:
 
The good news is that Vick had a million dollars to pay .. and easily went to his bank account and got it.

He also has a 4.5 million dollar home to sell, if he's selling it.

Also, irrespective of how much is taken from him, he will still have far than most people ever dream of, I expect that would include you.

Additionally, whenever his time expires 1 or 2 years from now, his first contract back will earn him more than probably you've ever earned in life .. combined.

Vick will be fine, thanks

What a surprise, I saw Rob's title and expected to find this kind of post from you. Basically you love to rant and rage against white millionaires, but if a black millionaire commits a crime then it's "nyah-nyah-na-nyah-na he'll still be richer than you!"

I suppose OJ Simpson is a good guy too right? And we all know why you think that...

I say free Mike Vic, enough pounds of flesh have been taken from him.
We need the jail space for real criminals, let out all the teenage drug users as well.
Why isn't killing a wounded race horse a crime?

Dude .. isn't this your thread?

Since you were so very concerned about Vick's finances, I thought I'd simply let you know that he'll be fine.

I'm a maniac and psycho?

Kiss my ass.

Is that maniacal enough for ya'. :)

Actually, if I'm reading correctly Vick might not be so well financially as we think. What really hurt him is the Falcons coming after his signing bonus.

It will be very interesting to see a) what opportunities Vick has after prison to resume his career and b) how much will his skills have eroded in his time off?

His speed obviously made him so spectacular and fun to watch. Will he still have that after the time off and two years older? And QB's rely so much on touch and timing. If Vinny Testeverde can come off the couch and play a week later I would assume Vick can too but its reasonable to believe he will be rusty.

There will be a lot of attention paid to Vick when he tries to resume his career. It will be real interesting to see how it plays out.
 
with the current lack of viable QB's in the league. He's going to go from the falcons not wanting him back to them begging him and getting in a bidding war to get him back. He is certainly the scape goat in a massive WITCH hunt.
The much jailed Mike Tyson only got 1 day for a heroin offense in Arizona.
They prob figured he was just passing through, why should we pay for a year of his jail time. Free Mike Vick you racist bastards.

I agree that it will be interesting to watch his return, but return he will. Vick was a goldmine for the NFL and the Falcons. I live in Atlanta and Falcons games don't sell out as they did when Vick was playing and there are lots of Vick jerseys in the stands. Season ticket sales have fallen dramatically with many people selling them at far reduced prices.

Vick was the highest paid player in the NFL.

I'm not sure the Falcons can get signing bonuses back and it remains to be seen how much they can get, if anything. There is precedent.

I don't condone dog-fighting or his stupid as hell involvement in it .. but enough is enough. If he wasn't Michael Vick he would have never been prosecuted.
 
finally I agree with blackas
give him 6months, then 3 months off for good behavior.
They'd have been better served letting him do a couple dozen lectures as community service about why that's a bad thing to do.
Also, don't shot the horses.
