The Vick Reaction

With Michael Vick expected to enter a guilty plea next Monday, reaction is coming in all over the place. For a complete understanding of what this plea means, ESPN legal analyst Lester Munson writes a Q & A story that explains the plea, the charges and what we can expect.

With the plea agreement about to take place, the question is will the Atlanta Falcons take a hit in the short term? CNBC’s Darren Rovell says not necessarily.

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, columnist Jeff Schultz says Vick had Atlanta eating out of his hand. The problem was that Vick lacked character and totally stepped on the city’s love for him. Fellow columist Terrence Moore says Vick has to come clean and do it quickly.

The Sports Media Watch has the reaction to Vick in the blogosphere. And ironically, the wife of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Jane Skinner of Fox News Channel was the first to break the news about Vick. The TV Newser blog reports that Skinner quickly recused herself from the story afterwards.

This story has certainly dominated the landscape in both the news and sports world today.
