NFL star Vick leaves prison for home confinement

[Rangermoore]

RICHMOND, Va. ? An attorney for Michael Vick says the suspended NFL star has left a Kansas prison and is on his way back to Virginia to meet the next challenges he'll face.

Larry Woodward, a member of Vick's legal team, says Vick left the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth overnight. Woodward says Vick is happy to be starting this part of the process. He's due to return to Virginia later this week to begin serving the final two months of his sentence under home confinement at a home he owns in Hampton.

Vick had been serving a 23-month sentence for financing a dogfighting ring.

The former Atlanta Falcons quarterback is expected to be released from federal custody July 20, and hopes to persuade NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to reinstate him.

And this is coming from a dude who brags about hanging out with biker gang dudes and how "cool" they are in person....

He's done his time and he has the right to come back and do the work that he is qualified for...He shouldn't be poor for the rest of his life because some bleeding heart animal lovers don't want him to be rich....He's coming back to the NFL whether you tree huggers like it or not....

its no doubt some sports fans and athletes will look the other way at animal abuse, but not all.

We're a forgiving people, just not a forgetful one.

There will never be a clean slate for Michael Vick, nor should there be. His apologists equate his release from federal prison sometime today as washing away the stains of his heinous transgressions. Punitive debt paid, he's somehow owed the opportunity to continue his high life before the feds exposed his sordid sub-life.

Think again.

Vick doesn't walk out of prison a football player. He's a convicted felon.
