Foxnews just reported that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick just agreed to plead guilty to the dogfighting crimes that he was charged with.

More to come…

UPDATE: Foxnews has confirmed that Michael Vick has indeed agreed to plead guilty. This guy should rot for what he has done! I would love to see this jerk get the same punishment he meted out to his dogs….but, I guess we should be more civilized than Vick, so, he will “only” spend some time in jail as well as possibly losing his career as an NFL QB. The league will probably suspend him at least for a year.

More from FoxSports:

Michael Vick’s lawyer said Monday the NFL star will plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges, putting the Atlanta Falcons quarterback’s career in jeopardy and leaving him subject to a possible prison term.

The offense is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although federal sentencing guidelines most likely would call for less.
“After consulting with his family over the weekend, Michael Vick asked that I announce today that he has reached an agreement with federal prosecutors regarding the charges pending against him,” lead defense attorney Billy Martin said in a statement.

“Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to those charges and to accept full responsibility for his actions and the mistakes he has made. Michael wishes to apologize again to everyone who has been hurt by this matter.”

Vick’s plea hearing will be Aug. 27, Martin said.
