Vick Released
Vick Released Suspended NFL quarterback Micheal Vick ended his federal dogfighting sentence Monday, now he is free to lobby for a return to the field.

Vick's attorney Lawrence Woodward has reportedly told the press outside Vick's suburban Virginia home that the former Atlanta Falcons star had been released from federal custody on schedule.

That means Vick no longer is forced to wear the electronic monitor he's had while under house arrest for the last two months of his 23-month sentence.

Now that Vick is free from home confinement, he will surely be stepping up his efforts to resume his pro football career. Vick hopes to soon meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Commissioner Goodell has previously said that he would review Vick's
status only after the former Pro Bowler had completed his sentence.

Goodell has said he wants to sit down with Vick, but it's unclear when that face-to-face meeting will take place.

"Michael did an egregious thing," Goodell told reporters in April. "He has paid a very significant price for that."

Goodell's stance on Vick's possible return to the NFL, from the beginning, has been that he would have to show remorse for his wrong doings and be prepared to live a different kind of life.

"That's something he has to prove to myself and the general public," Goodell said.

While on home confinement, Vick worked a $10 per hour construction job for a few weeks. Before switching jobs last month, assisting in children's health and fitness programs at the Boys and Girls Clubs.
