Mike Vick today put in his guilty plea and could spend anywhere from 1 to 5 years in prison. The most exciting athlete in football probably will never play a snap but that doesn't mean he won't have an effect on the field.
When the Philadelphia Eagles parted ways with the 4-time pro bowl middle linebacker, fans and players alike were stunned. Current starting quaterback Donovan McNabb added his own two cents during a press conference, "You get answers, you're going to get answers," he said, "but it's all in the answers you accept. I mean, what's really the true answer? You talk to players that go through it and they move on (to a) given team. You ask questions to some people around the organization, but as a player, and knowing that a player has been released and you're still trying to find out why, you never really get a full answer of why."
Perhaps the answer is something no one wanted to hear. According to sources I have spoken with, Jeremiah Trotter was apparently involved with dog fighting. Whether this is true or not is truly speculation of course. The sources said that the news (if true) would break sometime next week. Even if this information regarding Jeremiah Trotter turns out to be false other players stand to weeded out from the NFL. According to federal documents, Vick will cooperate in full with federal prosecutors to tell them everything he knows. Let the snitching begin.
