Michael Vick has had a busy week as he launched a lawsuit against his financial advisors seeking $2 million.  Given that there have been many reports of Vick spending upwards of $900 thousand dollars in cash in the time period shortly before going to prison, there is probably no surprise in the concept that some of his financial advisors or accountants may have taken him for a bit of a ride.  When a person is engaged in illegal activity (like dog fight gambling and other activities) it is all too likely that they will not have a strong focus on their other financial interests and this opens the doors for financial advisors, managers and more to take a piece of the pie.

Vick also came into the news surrounding conversations that his former coach Dan Reeves working for Mike Singletary in San Francisco might make the crazy decision of bringing Vick into the San Francisco NFL fold.  On many levels, that would appear to be a non-starter as Singletary has an exemplary history of not tolerating discipline problems, nor suffering fools.  Plus, the fans of San Francisco might just prove to be the most hostile crowd ever to face off against a person that ran a dog fighting ring.

Finally, PETA has withdrawn an offer to have Michael Vick on a public service announcement after they learned that Vick was trying to leverage the spot for public relations reason in order to further his goals of re-entering the NFL.  We don’t regularly agree with PETA here, but we do agree with their stance

The organization said an agreement was reached with Vick’s representatives to shoot the spot, but that Vick’s lawyers sought assurance from PETA that the group would support his return to the N.F.L. “Saying sorry and getting his ball back after being caught enjoying killing dogs in hideously cruel ways for many years doesn’t cut it,” said Ingrid E. Newkirk, the president of PETA.

Especially from the perspective that returning to the NFL enables Vick to re-enter a lifestyle that promoted this problem in the first place.  You might as well send a cocaine addict off to Columbia to work in the fields as a missionary.
