Michael Vick Turns into Bob the Builder

Michael VickEveryone is expecting Michael Vick to return to the football field after his incarceration, but he has other plans -- as in floorplans.

Vick's lawyer announced in Bankruptcy court today that the former QB has a construction job lined up after his prison release and Vick will work a regular 40 hour work week. Further details about wages or the duration of his new career were unavailable.

After being the highest paid player in the league, Vick was suspended indefinitely from the NFL after his 2007 indictment. The NFL Commissioner has said he will review Vick's status after he is released.

Who needs football when you can have drywall?

31. Vick, just a street thug, no funds except what he got with his football contract. He is being treated like a rich boy, when he really doens't have anything, if it was not for money from a football team that he really never played for. Why is he being allowed to keep 2 homes? No average person would be allowed that. This guy had ZERO before he signed a great contract, then he didn't have the brains to act like a professional football players, but rather just another street thug. I don't understand the Justice he is getting. I feel so sorry for this poor boy, yes he should be poor, but doing construction will built his body back up and then just maybe.

33. For some reason these people feel entitled. Just yesterday, I think it was Stillworth, was arrest for DUI with death. Then you always have OJ, Mike Tyson, and the list goes on and on. Some serve time and some luck out. There are plenty of young players in the ranks that may deserve a chance at an NFL career, but I don't believe that Vick should be rewarded. Most of the ex-cons don't get their jobs back, or should I say they are lucky to get any job. He, in his world, acts like he did nothing wrong. I understand that these types of people feel a dog is an asset and not a companion. They are the reason that Pits have such a bad reputation. I was always told "there are bad owners not bad dogs". We have always had dobs, sheperds, and mastiffs and have never had a mean one in the bunch. I have one question...What does a dog really have to do to deserve to be murdered in such a fashion, Mr. Vick?

35. It is just weird to me that people have this reaction to Michael Vick over some dogs when there are sports figures (and politicians) who get away with brutalizing women. Warped value system in the US.

36. It is just weird to me that people have this reaction to Michael Vick over some dogs when there are sports figures, entertainers and politicians who EASILY get away with brutalizing women. Warped value system in the US.

37. I think it's kid of cool that he's going to go right work, and blue collar work at that.

I hope he plays in the NFL again and am sure he will. He admitted to his crime, apologized for it, spent more time in jail then some human murderers do and is now going to work a full time job. It's time for people to get over it...unless there are some dogs highly advanced enough out there to read this and then also comment...because I think it's fine for the dog community to remain weary of him.

38. So he served time big deal he's no victim. What he did was torture and there is no place in any profession dor someone like him. As far as I'm concerned and anyone else with half a brain he didn't magically come out of prison an ethical / compassionate person. This Ass*ole just won't do it again for fear of getting caught. You don't have to be a dog lover to get he's just simply a bad person. For Pete's sake he electrocuted & Force bred dogs!!! He's someone you'll see in hell for sure!

40. To all you ignoramuses spewing nonsense about people being angry over this situation being just about dogs & people being more important than dogs blah blah blah. People are no better than animals think about it who committed this horrible crime? A PERSON. Who is capable of rape, molestation, violence, etc.... people. For being such supreme beings some of us sure are capable of some F***ed up things. As far as I'm concerned Anyone who can do anything to an innocent creature whether it be a child ,animal or anyone incapable of defending themselves should be put away forever. A NORMAL HUMAN BEING DOES NOT HAVE IT IN THEM TO DO WHAT VICK DID!!! . Point is be a humane person. This apply to everything. People cause their own demise.

41. I hope the NFL NEVER takes that loser back. He is nothing by a ANIMAL KILLER and a danger to society.

43. The only way he will come close to righting the wrong he did is to volunteer for several hours a day in a humane society for about 10 years - under supervision of course. He just spent time in prison, he hasn't redeemed himself!

44. What is wrong with you people who think "oh he paid hia dues, and what he did wasn't so bad" blah blah blah. I can only hope in your next lives you come back as one of those poor dogs, and suffer what they did. Personally, I don't think there's anything bad enough they can do to him, and I think all he got was a slap on the wrist. Burn in hell, Micheal Vick, Lady Karma's waiting for you, and she is PI**ED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

45. This pricx needs to take his carpentry skills to some third world hell-hole like Darfur for a year or two building shelters and schools so maybe he could appreciate the riches that were thrown at him but even after that he would still be a souless bastard !
