Vick arrived at his Virginia home by car a day after being released

Source (nfl.com) ( - ) | 0 comments.

Vick arrived at his Virginia home by car a day after being released from a federal prison in Kansas to start home confinement and a job in construction but with hopes of making it back to the playing field someday.

Impacts: Vick spent 19 months at the prison in Leavenworth, Kan., after his conviction for financing a dogfighting operation. He will spend the next two months under home confinement wearing an electronic monitor. He's scheduled to be released from federal custody on July 20, and then faces three more years of supervised probation. His ultimate goal is a return to the NFL. Chief among his challenges is rehabilitating his image.

Source (CBSSports.com) ( - ) | 0 comments.

News: An attorney for Michael Vick says the suspended NFL star has left a Kansas prison and is on his way back to Virginia to meet the next challenges he'll face. Larry Woodward, a member of Vick's legal team, says Vick left the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth overnight. He's due to return to Virginia later this week to begin serving the final two months of his sentence under home confinement at a home he owns in Hampton. Vick had been serving a 23-month sentence for financing a dogfighting ring. The former Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback is expected to be released from federal custody July 20, and hopes to have NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reinstate him. Falcons owner Arthur Blank released a statement that Vick will not play in Atlanta. "As Michael nears the completion of his sentence, I wish the best for him and his family," Blank said. "It is my sincere hope that he has learned from his mistakes and will move forward in a productive and positive manner. The Falcons maintain Michael's contractual rights for now, but he will not be playing for us in the future. In the event NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell decides to reinstate Michael to the NFL, we feel his best opportunity to re-engage his football career would be at another club." [...]

News: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has not determined the potential reinstatement process for Michael Vick, even as the former Atlanta Falcons star was about to leave federal prison for the final phase of his 23-month sentence related to dogfighting. Only this much is certain: Vick will need not only to say he's sorry, but convince Goodell he means those words if there's any chance his indefinite suspension will be lifted. When will they meet? Goodell reiterated that it'll take place only once Vick's legal process is completed; his time in federal custody ends July 20, or roughly around the same time NFL training camps open. "I haven't sat down and determined the process," Goodell said. "But I've never been one to shy away from input and from facts that can be helpful in making an ultimate judgment. It's always difficult to make judgments about people and where they are." [...]

The Humane Society of the United States says Vick wants to work with the group on a program aimed at eradicating dogfighting among urban teens.

Impacts: Society president Wayne Pacelle tells The Associated Press that he met with Vick at the federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan., and that the meeting came after Vick's legal team approached the animal-rights group. Vick was convicted of financing a dogfighting ring and participating in the executions of poorly performing pit bulls and has spent the past 19 months in federal prison. He's due to be released to home confinement this week.

Vick's future in the NFL will hinge on him convincing commissioner

Vick's future in the NFL will hinge on him convincing commissioner Roger Goodell that he's truly remorseful for the mistakes he's made. That was Goodell's message Tuesday, speaking of the quarterback only hours before he was expected to be released from a federal prison in Kansas. Vick will need not only to say he's sorry, but convince Goodell he means those words if there's any chance his indefinite suspension will be lifted.

Impacts: Goodell and Vick will meet sometime about reinstatement, but not before the remainder of Vick's sentence is completed. Once released from prison, Vick will remain largely in home confinement until July 20.
