Former Atlanta Falcons Pro Bowl quarterback Michael Vick has signed a 2-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, ESPN reports. The Eagles will hold a news conference on Friday morning to announce his signing.
Once the highest-paid player in football, Vick was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison and NFL suspension after being convicted of running a dogfighting operation and conspiracy in August 2007.
Vick’s first interview since being released will be on Sunday’s 60 Minutes.
MICHAEL VICK’S 60 MINUTES CLIP
More info just came out this week about the ongoing Nas and Kelis divorce proceedings. According to TMZ sources:
Kelis filed for divorce April 30. She’s weeks from giving birth and unable to work, but no matter to Nas — he’s asking the judge to deny her the spousal support she’s seeking. For bad measure, he also wants her to pay her own lawyer’s fees.
Nas and Kelis both want joint custody of their unborn child.
Kelis cites “irreconcilable differences” for the divorce and word is she believes he was cheating on her. But other rumors indicate that Kelis’ rumored sex tape was the beginning of the end for the couple.
MICHAEL VICK BACK HOME
Former NFL star Michael Vick was released from a federal penitentiary in Kansas Wednesday after serving 18 months for his role in a dogfighting operation.
According to authorities Vick, a former NFL star athlete, will serve the rest of his sentence at his home in Virginia (2 months). NFL sources say they will only reinstate the star athlete if he displays truthful remorse.
“Michael is going to have to demonstrate to myself and the general public and to a lot of people, did he learn anything from this experience? Does he regret what happened?” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said prior to Vick’s release.
