Vick Heads Back To Bankruptcy Court

Falcons quarterback Mike Vick will be back in court today, as part of the ongoing effort to secure approval for his bankruptcy plan. According to the Virginian-Pilot, Vick’s lawyers will request more time to finalize the proposed plan, and they will seek permission to sell certain real estate holdings. The article in the Virginian-Pilot also contains a bizarre statement regarding the status of Vick’s playing career: “His lawyers said they do not expect any announcement today on whether Vick will be reinstated in the NFL.” Um, why is that even a question? Did someone actually think that a federal bankruptcy judge had jurisdiction over the question of whether Vick could rejoin the NFL? If so, we suggest that he (or she) apply for the $10-per-hour construction job from which Vick eventually will be resigning.
