Mike Vick Won't Be Attending the First Day of Camp

With Mike Vick's recent indictment due to his love of seeing pit bulls kill one another, it's just been a pretty hellish offseason for the Falcons quarterback. I'm guessing Mike couldn't wait until training camp started, just so he could get his mind off of things for a while.

Well, he won't. Turns out he'll have to push the start of his training camp back a day.

Vick is to appear at a 3:30 p.m. bond hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis Dohnal and a 4 p.m. arraignment before U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson, who will handle the case that has put his career in jeopardy.

The Falcons' first practice begins at 3 p.m. the same day - a coincidence that promises to fuel the media maelstrom swirling around the team.

If you're unaware of some of the things Vick has been accused of in the indictment, they include hanging dogs. Drowning dogs. And of course, slamming dogs into the ground to kill them.

I guess Mike just never found the time to ask his brother Marcus for a gun. Wouldn't shooting them be a lot easier?
