Convicted dog killer to shelter the homeless

NFL.com is reporting today that former All-American Virginia Tech Hokie Quarterback Michael Vick will be released from Leavenworth Prison in the next few weeks and will finish out his sentence building homes in his Virginia community for Habitat for Humanity.

This is the part of the story where you insert your own joke here________.

Like:

A) I hope the family he's building the house for doesn't own any dogs, but if they do, he can show them how to build a nice slaughter shed out in the back.

B) He might have to head over to the nearest Dick's clothes store to buy a new pair of overalls because all his old pairs are covered with blood and pitbull semen.

C) While swinging his hammer to nail the roof togethar, he can wax poetic to his co-volunteer's how the last time he swung a hammer like this was to crush some puppies skull in who refused to fight in the ring.

The list is really endless. You can go on and on.

Convicted Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick will help build homes in his old Newport News, Va., neighborhood with Habitat for Humanity as part of a
work-release program set to begin in the next few weeks, a source with knowledge
of the situation told NFL.com.

Vick has been cleared to serve the final stretch of a 23-month federal-prison
sentence for a 2007 dogfighting conviction on home confinement in Newport News.
An agreement for Vick's work-release with Habitat for Humanity was reached this
week.

Vick, who has served his entire sentence thus far at the
correctional facility in Leavenworth, Kan., will help build and repair homes
near where he grew up, the source said. Vick's schedule and whereabouts will be
kept as secret as possible so he can complete his obligations with minimal
distraction. Vick's sentence is scheduled to expire in July.

It has not been determined when Vick will be transferred from Leavenworth to home confinement, but it is expected to take place by the end of the month.

Vick, a three-time Pro Bowl selection with the Atlanta Falcons, is
indefinitely suspended by the NFL for his role in the dogfighting case. Vick
pleaded guilty for helping support and run a dogfighting operation in
Smithfield, Va., which is located near his hometown. The Falcons, who drafted
Vick with the first overall pick in 2001, recently said they will try to trade
the QB's rights, but there has been no activity in that regard.

Vick, through attorneys, said he hopes to play in the NFL again. His availability for
the 2009 season will be determined by league commissioner Roger Goodell after
Vick's legal issues have been resolved. While in prison, Vick filed for
bankruptcy. He has a court hearing in April, at which the presiding judge
demanded that Vick be present.

The saddest part of this whole saga is that once Vick gets cleared by NFL Commissioner Goodell to be re-instated back in the NFL, teams are going to fight like "cats and dogs" to get their "mitts" on him. They'll all be "licking their chops" to get a chance to showcase Vick's skills for their team.
