Michael Vick will soon plead guilty to the illegal gambling and dog fighting charges he’s currently facing in Virginia, but apparently he’s waiting to hear from the NFL before he makes his final decision.

“It is a very good chance he will plead guilty,” said one of the people who spoke on condition of anonymity. “He definitely wants to play football again. His love is for football. And he would love to play for the Falcons again. But first and foremost is to get back on the field.”

First and foremost is to get back on the field? Are you kidding me? First and foremost he should worry about his life crumbling at his feet. Then he should be thinking about life in prison, what this will do to his family and then somewhere in between learning how to not drop the soap in the shower and how he’s going to look in orange he should be worried about getting back onto the field.

This guy is an absolute clown. He’s worried about the Falcons and playing football now? Why wasn’t he thinking about those two things when he was drafted in 2001? Maybe he would have avoided funding an illegal dog-fighting ring if he would have set his eyes on football from the start – might have even become a more balanced quarterback too.

Wow, now he’s thinking about football – what a joke.

SPORTSbyBROOKS.com has discovered the greatest sport football game of all time – yes, even better than the “Madden” franchise. SbB linked to JoeSportsFan.com and its release of, “Salisbury ‘08”, dedicated to the greatest sports “insider” of all time, Sean Salisbury.

Why take SALISBURY 08 over its better-known counterpart? Simple, does Madden have “wild mood swing” game play, or the ability to put players in one-hour-of-sleep deprivation mode? Not to mention the ever-popular coach ass-kiss feature that can help your favorite player get the nod off the bench.

SbB didn’t mention my personal favorite characteristic of Salisbury ’08, the mode where you can predict the winners before each season starts. Although I have to mention, you can only pick the winning teams from the previous year because the game imitates Salisbury to a T and has no originality.

In the wake of two more defendants accepting plea agreements for their involvement in a seven state wide illegal gambling and dog-fighting ring, Michael Vick may soon reach a deal himself. If he does reach a plea agreement, Vick is likely to face jail time.

Vick’s motivation to enter a guilty plea is likely fueled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office announcement last month that it will seek a new “superseding” indictment against Vick by the end of August. With the cooperation of Vick’s three co-defendants, there will likely be new, and more specific, allegations against Vick. The federal grand jury in Richmond is expected to hand up that indictment sometime early next week.

Take the plea agreement Mike, face jail time and then try to slowly piece your life back together. Nobody’s listening to your cries for innocence anymore and even before the three other stoogies turned, the feds had enough to burry you. It’s time past due for your to serve your punishment like the rest of the human race. You’re not special, even though it appears all who has ever been around you as told you that you are.

If Vick does take the plea agreement and faces jail time, Roger Goodell should allow Atlanta enough time to make the decision on whether or not to release him. If Goodell suspends Vick the Falcons can’t cut him until the punishment is served, and that wouldn’t be fair to have to wait if they do indeed want to move on.

Two more defendants joined Tony Taylor in agreeing to set up plea hearings in the dog fighting case that includes Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. Purnell Peace and Quanis L. Phillips are likely to plead guilty and in the process might divulge any information they have that pertains to Vick and these charges.

“There’s no telling until the actual pleas, but this doesn’t sound like good news for Michael Vick,” said Kent Alexander, once the U.S. Attorney in Atlanta and now Emory University’s general counsel. “Usually, if people plead guilty early in a case they may be cooperating with the government. That’s what it sounds like here.”

Well Mikey, it looks like you gave up your career and millions of dollars for a bunch of idiots that ended up punking you in the end anyway. I hope it was all worth it, because if you don’t go to jail, you’re certainly set to face a suspension from Roger Goodell and the Falcons’ brass have all but forgot your name.

People like Dan Reeves and Arthur Blank warned you that hanging out with delinquents might just make you one some day, but you didn’t listen. And now you’re all alone.
