Mike Vick Takes Plea

In breaking news Mike Vick has taken the plea deal in order to avoid additional federal charges. Vick will now be looking at a lengthy prison sentence. According to a story on the Virginian-Pilot's Web site, Vick will enter a guilty plea to the felony conspiracy charge of traveling in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities next Monday morning. The offense could cost Vick 5 years in prison and a $250,000 dollar fine. In addition to the upcoming penalties of his plea deal, Vick could be facing a ban from the NFL for being involved in gambling activities under the leagues current player conduct policy.



Good riddance.
