Michael Vick’s future, in the midst of uncertainty

The ex-Falcon, Michael Vick will possibly not be playing in the NFL anymore, his future in professional football seems to be unclear.

It really all depends on how long he’s going to serve on prison due to the dogfighting accusations on him, the sentence hearing is set for December 10 even tho he is already incarcerated, just waiting and praying.

One of Vick's defense attorneys, Bill Martin, told the press that it was Michael’s decission to start serving time volutarily.

"From the beginning, Mr. Vick has accepted responsibility for his actions and his self surrender further demonstrates that acceptance," Martin said.

It’s just unreal to see how a brilliant career is about to end due to off-field situations, a player that was picked as the first overall selection in the 2001 NFL draft, now is expecting to live behind bars.

He was the symbol of the Falcons, a team that was setting their hopes on the 27 year old quarterback, his early career included league records, playoff appearances and lucrative endorsements, and with a $130 million dollar contract signed on 2004 he was the highest paid NFL player at that time.

His family and fans are hoping that U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson will take notice of Vick’s cooperative state as he is starting to serve his sentence rather than postpone it, he is surely going to miss his loved ones during Christmas, but he is aware that Hudson has a reputation of being a though sentencing judge, so if he’s not convinced that Michael Vick has taken responsablity for his actions, he might impose a sentence longer than the 12 to 18 months in prison he is being charge under federal sentencing guidelines.

The whole football community wishes him the best, and we hope the judge and eventually NFL managers to be aware that the ex-Falcons can still give any other professional team some glory if he doesn’t perceive a long sentence.
