MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Jailed quarterback Michael Vick can keep nearly $20 million in bonus money he received from the Atlanta Falcons following a ruling Monday by a federal judge.

The Falcons sought to recover the bonuses after Vick pleaded guilty to federal charges in a dogfighting operation. The bonuses were paid from 2004-2007.

A special master ruled in October that the Falcons were entitled to recover the bonuses. The Falcons argued that Vick used proceeds from a contract he signed in 2004 to finance his illicit activities.

I am very happy to read that Vick keeps 20 mil.After all I would not want my state of Virginia to have nothing to go after when they burn Vick some more.His trial starts April 02,08 and I hope he gets 10 years more in jail and the 20 mil taken away by Virginia.What a scum bag Vick is.

Because of current events I have little use for Vick at this point but with that said how can an employer tell me what I can and cannot do with my income. The courts made the correct call.
