Nobody knows the trouble Michael Vick's seen. Now the star of the prison football team says he's broke as a joke!
Vick, who's currently serving a karma-endorsed 23-month sentence in the Federal pen, filed for Chapter 11 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court Monday. In the papers, he says he owes between $10 and $50 million to creditors.
In the docs, the convicted animal abuser says he hopes he can "rebuild his life on a personal and spiritual level, resurrect his image as a public figure, and resolve matters with the NFL such that he can resume his career."

Apparently Gail O'Grady is an expert in cards, because she's jacked two Vegas Casinos around, at least according to legal documents.
Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino and Bally's/Paris Las Vegas filed paperwork in U.S. Bankruptcy court, claiming the "NYPD" star owes them a fortune. According to documents, O'Grady, who has filed for bankruptcy, owes Caesars $160,000 in gambling debts and owes Bally's $75,000. Both joints want to make sure the bankruptcy judge doesn't let Gail O off the hook.
According to the National Enquirer, O'Grady owes big bucks to casinos, credit cards, the IRS, her mortgage company as well as to family, friends and "colleagues."
O'Grady admits she took out the gambling loans, but claims the casinos knew her financial situation and knowingly threw caution to the wind.
Gail's reps had no comment.
