Yes, I’m talking about the quarterback Michael Vick. As it has been pointed out in a number of places, Michael Vick has had his day in court and it was not all that pleasant. It can be safe to conclude that Mr. Vick is thinking now – hopefully.
In review though, let us list his ‘lessons’.
- He has been sentenced to serve 23 months in jail. No parole for federal charges either. He will have to serve a minimum of 20 months.
- He is still facing different state charges that could land him another 10 years on top of that.
- His $120 million dollar contract is toast.
- The arbitrator ruled the Atlanta Falcons can get back over $19 million from his signing bonus.
- He lost multiple millions in lost endorsement deals.
- He has a few banks trying to collect on millions of dollars of loans he has defaulted on.
- He has to pay just under $1 million for the care of the remaining dogs.
- When he is done with all of that, before he can play in the NFL again he will have to answer to the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodall to be reinstated or serve an additional suspension. The kicker is Vick lied to the Commissioner. The same Commissioner who has become known as an ultra-disciplinarian. Good luck.
There is no need to comment about Michael Vick’s actions that led to all this anymore. There is also no further need to comment on Michael Vick save for hoping he has learned something. The only place left there is for commentary is the quantity of penalties he is paying.
So with all puns intended it comes down to one word.
Woof.
