ATLANTA - Michael Vick's legal troubles prompted Nike on Thursday to suspend the release of its latest product line named after the Atlanta Falcons quarterback.
Nike has told retailers it will not release a fifth signature shoe, the Air Zoom Vick V, this summer. Nike spokesman Dean Stoyer said the four shoe products and three shirts that currently bear Vick's name will remain in stores.
Vick will be arraigned next week in a Richmond, Va., federal courtroom on charges of sponsoring a gruesome dogfighting operation.
Meanwhile, Falcons owner Arthur Blank issued a statement Thursday, saying the organization is "working diligently on exploring our options."

Michael Vick to face no-nonsense judge

HANK KURZ Jr.

Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. - When Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick appears in federal court next week on dogfighting charges, he'll go before a judge not impressed by Vick's celebrity and in a court known nationwide for its speedy handling of cases.
Legal experts describe U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson as a tough but fair jurist who, in five years on the federal bench, has become known for handing down stiff sentences, for being prepared and for allowing both sides to show their cards.
"Trial lawyers love to appear in his court because he lets the lawyers try their case," defense attorney and former prosecutor William J. Dinkin of Richmond said. "Everyone is going to get their fair shake. He's a very evenhanded trial judge."

Falcons quarterback Michael Vick got a thumbs up in Turner Field during the Braves-Reds game Wednesday.

Honestly, I don't wish jail on the people who disgust me the most. Incarceration is that dehumanizing.
So forgive me for lacking passion about the guilt, innocence and/or punishment of one-time franchise quarterback Michael Vick for his alleged involvement in a dogfighting ring. Hell -- given that the state, if inclined, can make a blind witness' vision 20/20 -- I'm even willing to give Vick his presumption of innocence.
Why not? He is an American citizen, last I checked, and we don't need to look any further than Duke lacrosse to see what can happen to a prosecutor when the media spotlight descends on a criminal case.

This is off-topic in a sense, but I laugh at people who throw out all of these "Vick is going to get raped in prison :banger:" lines.

1. A good chance he won't go to prison
2. If he goes to prison there is less then a 1% chance he'd get raped(imo). For one, he can defend himself over a majority of people in the prison; and more importantly he could buy off a gang of thugs very easily to protect him during his time in prison, with promises of helping them when they get out.
