Attorney: Vick to work construction after jail
Imprisoned QB likely to testify in bankruptcy hearing in Va.

Thursday, April 02, 2009

Newport News, Va. – As former Falcons quarterback Michael Vick quietly watched in court this morning, his team of bankruptcy attorneys made substantial progress in settling objections filed by key creditors.

Michael Blumenthal, Vick’s lead attorney today, outlined proposed settlements with the Internal Revenue Service and the Virginia Department of Taxation. The two taxing agencies, which filed objections to Vick’s plan to emerge from bankruptcy, have said Vick owes $696,930 combined in back federal and state taxes, penalties and interest.

Michael Vick is banking on return to NFL
Vick is expected to testify either today or tomorrow. He has already been offered a job to work at a local construction company for an hourly wage 40 hours a week once he leaves prison, Blumenthal said.

“He is going to turn a new leaf,” Blumenthal said. “He has learned from what occurred in his life.”

According to the Associated Press, Vick plans to work for $10 an hour at one of W.M. Jordan Co.’s 40 commercial construction jobs, said John Robert Lawson. His father, Robert Lawson, helped start the Newport News company.

Lawson, 57, said that he has known Vick for more than 10 years and that they have been involved in charitable work together. He said Vick’s representatives approached him when he was turned away by other employers.

“I believe all of us make mistakes, and once you’ve fulfilled your commitment and paid the price, you should be given a second chance,” Lawson said in a telephone interview with the AP.

“He’s not a bad person. He made some bad choices,” Lawson said

If I’m the Falcons, I am talking to Denver right now. Hold on its not what you think. The Broncos are having to trade Cutler so they need a QB… And the Falcons just happen to have this guy named Vick still on the payroll.(technically) so trying to think ahead of the curve, if the birds brass can ship him out and maybe get a little something in return or help work out a three-way deal that would be awesome. and I’m sure laudable by all, well, except PETA. But seriously Vick to Denver, Culter to wherever and few guys and/or draft picks to Den and Atl?

Dear Mark and the AJC. The Atlanta Hawks are the home team for Atlanta. The city in which your paper is published. You can stop treating them as being located in Pigs Knuckle Arkansas. You would have no idea they had a game last night by the front page of the online sports section today. There is not even a headline about them. I dug in the website and did find that they lost. I guess seeing a bride and groom cut a wedding cake is a bigger sports story.

I like Jay Wright a lot. Indeed, if I were king of all hoops and I were looking for a guy to coach my team for the next 15 years, he’d be that guy. But I can’t see him leaving a Final Four program to coach Georgia.

Might he leave Villanova for UConn? That’s something else entirely.
