With three associates prepared to testify that he brutally executed dogs and bankrolled gambling, Michael Vick agreed today to "accept full responsibility" for his role in a dogfighting ring and plead guilty to federal conspiracy charges.  

Twenty-five days after he declared that he looked forward to clearing his name (ya right), Vick said through defense lawyer Billy Martin that he will plead guilty.  A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the terms are not final, told The Associated Press that prosecutors will recommend a sentence of a year to 18 months.  And we at This Is Just Stupid hope he gets the max.  The gambling allegations alone could trigger a lifetime ban under the NFL’s personal conduct policy.  But we are betting his jersey sales save him from any lifetime ban!

In a telephone interview with the AP, Martin said Vick is paying a high price for allowing old friends to influence his behavior, but he emphasized that his client takes full responsibility.   Stupid is as stupid does. Run Michael Run.
