Michael Vick was a quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons before being arrested for his involvement in an illegal dog fighting ring. The investigation lead to his suspension, investigation into the ring and eventually a 23 month prison stay. Vick's scheduled release form prison is in May 2009 and it's unsure if he will be able to regain his status as one of the NFL's top quarterbacks. He has also managed to accrue a great deal of debt.

Appeals court agrees Vick can keep $16M in bonuses
A federal appeals court is backing the judge who ruled against the NFL and let quarterback Michael Vick keep more than $16 million in roster bonuses from the Atlanta Falcons.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday affirmed Judge David Doty's order saying Vick had already earned the bonuses before his dogfighting conviction, so the money wasn't subject to forfeiture.
Vick served 18 months in prison and is now with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Doty has long handled matters arising from the NFL's collective bargaining agreement. After Doty ruled in the Vick bonus case, the NFL accused him of bias and sought to end his oversight of its contract with the players union.
The appeals court says the contract should remain under Doty's oversight.
