Pleaing Guilty...

Well it is official now, Michael Vick has decided to give in and plea guilty to federal dogfighting charges. So now it all comes out and everything he has said previously makes him look bad. Here is my take.

To start off, I am a Vick fan and have been ever since he was playing at Va Tech and leading them to the National Championship game back in 2000. He is a flat out talented athlete. Has he had the best career as a QB, No, he hasn't. But he is a blessed human athlete.

Now, when this story came out earlier this year, I was trying to ignore it because it seemed to come out of no where. It just seemed like a bogus story trying to make Vick look bad. Well all in all, it did. Vick denied these charges over and over and now he has given in and is saying it is all true and will face jail time based on his actions. I still can't understand why an athlete would do such a thing that he did, it just doesn't make sense.

Now the question is will he ever play in the NFL again?

I think he will play again. I think Vick will do his time, pay his charges and come out of his sentence a changed man. Life is about learning from your mistakes and then change that around and do good. I really think Vick will be influenced by his family during this time to change and do whatever it takes to get another shot to play in the NFL. Will he be a QB again? Probably not. His quarterbacking career is over.

Now the thing he has to fix in order to get back into the NFL, is to get the approval of commissioner Roger Goodell. He has already lied to Goodell and just about every important individual. So it is all about making things better with those individuals. He has already taken the initial step and given into the charges after weighing his options. So now it is a situation of moving on and looking forward.

So much for this story. I'm pretty much tired of it and glad that all of it is going to come to a conclusion in the next few weeks.

Go Niners!
