The two co-defendants in Michael Vick's case are expected to appear at the end of the week and accept plea agreements offered by the prosecution.

A spokesman for Michael Vick said that the legal defense team was taken by surprise at the news but that it wouldn't change the path they are taking.

This is pure stupidity. If Michael Vick wants to play football in the NFL again, he needs to plea out pronto. The deals entered into by another co-defendant include the provision that the co-defendant testify against Vick and the others.

Federal prosecutors have given Vick till the end of the week to accept the plea bargain. If he doesn't, another indictment will be filed with at least two additional federal dogfighting charges.

Vick's problems don't end in the courtroom. Rumor has it Commissioner Goodell will be announcing a season-long suspension of Vick in the coming week or two.

My advice to Vick: plea out now unless you want to play out the rest of your career in the Canadian Football League.

Feel bad for Vick? Don't. The gruesome details of the indictment stated that dogs who did not perform as well as they had hoped were executed by drowning, hanging, electrocution, or being shot.

In other, related news, Nike has a warehouse of Air Zoom Vick V. I say they rename them 756 Juice and resell them as baseball cleats.
