Bobby Petrino Resigns As Falcons Head Coach

Bobby Petrino has resigned his position as coach of the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday, and is currently negotiating an agreement to become the new coach at the University of Arkansas.

After only 13 games as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, which included 10 losses, Petrino is out of the NFL. Petrino had a five-year, $24 million contract with the Falcons and will be taking a pay cut to coach the Razorbacks.

The Falcons are assured of the 32nd losing season in their 42-year history. Petrino's resignation is another blow to a team that dealt with Vick's legal troubles since the first day of training camp, a blow up with DeAngelo Hall over personnel decisions, and a bunch of injuries.

Poor Arthur Blank....

Public Relations and Jeremiah Trotter

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.

Mike Vick Seeking Plea Deal

If you aren't already familiar with this case, Michael Vick is being charged with conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities, and conspiring to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture. All three of his co-defendants have now flipped and plan to plead out. Those plea deals now allow them to testify against Vick if he indeed does not plead out himself. According to recent news breaks Vick and his attorneys have met with federal prosecutors in order to negotiate a deal that would include Vick serving under a year in prison. Sources speaking to ESPN have said that Vick's attorneys have insisted he takes the deal if it indeed shortens his jail time to under a year.

I would include the details of the indictment but I can't because I literally get sick. Everyone has been talking about due process and innocent until proven guilty. Well, from what I have read recently, it looks as if Vick is going to save everyone the trouble and admit that he's a despicable human being and plead out. You could've smoked weed, had a gambling problem, or even been addicted to hookers, but you had to have a woody for seeing dogs tear each other apart. You and everyone else who is involved in the disgusting act that is dog fighting should be pariah ed.
