Sun Setting On Vick's Career ?

It certainly appears as though Michael Vick is going to jail.
The Atlanta Falcon quarterback has found out what most people in the know were already aware of.
When you are indicted by a U.S. Federal Grand Jury, you are in a world of hurt.
This isn’t about some scumbag politician trying to make a name for himself.
This is about justice.
This has also come at a bad time for Vick in what will be a battle at some time to resume his NFL career.
Many bad things have been done by NFL players to other human beings, and many such incidents have been swept under the collective rug.
It helped players believe they were above the law.
The NFL new commish laid down the NEW law on his way in and it has changed perception.
It’s no longer business as usual for BAD BOYS.
Makes you wonder about Vick’s future or even his present.
Is there any stipulation in the basic NFL player deal that would force the QB to pay back any part of his humungous up front money from the Falcons ?
And what of his return ?
This is no sure thing.
This isn’t an ex-con accountant given a second chance in a quiet office building downtown.
This is entertainment and if people won’t come see the dog killer no matter how talented he might be as an NFL quarterback, then he won’t be hired.
By any team in any league.
