Goodbye To All That

Michael Vick’s incredible Georgia crib is up for sale.  (This is not to be confused with his equally palatial Virginia spread where his well-known nefarious conduct occurred, which is, at least so far, not for sale.)  It’s reported in the Georgia Law Blog and described on  the Deal Watch blog:

As part of a plan to sell his assets to pay off debts, former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is selling his Sugarloaf mansion.  The sale of the Gwinnett County mansion, along with more houses, cars, yachts, sport-fishing boats, horses and more, was part of a reorganization plan filed on Wednesday in federal bankruptcy court by Vick’s lawyers, Crowell & Moring partners Peter R. Ginsberg and Michael Blumenthal.

Vick is serving a 23-month sentence in federal prison in Kansas for bankrolling a dogfighting ring in rural Virginia. He is scheduled to be released July 20. Although Vick remains on the Atlanta Falcons roster, Falcons owner Arthur Blank has said that he expects Vick will return to the NFL, but not with the Falcons.As part of a plan to sell his assets to pay off debts, former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick i selling his Sugarloaf mansion.

There is a lot of internet chatter about Vick’s ending up on the Redskins roster.  Good luck to —and shame on— any NFL team that signs him up, but that’s another story for another time.
