VICK HAS ‘TIL 9AM TO THROW-IN ON RUSH TO JUDGEMENT: The NEW YORK TIMES reports that the end is near for Michael Vick, as the Feds have set a 9am ET deadline today for Vick to accept a plea agreement.

If Vick, who is already charged with three felony counts related to dogfighting, doesn’t accept the government’s offer, he will face additional charges. Under the current indictment, he is looking at five years in Federal prison and a $250K fine when he is if convicted.

Additionally, the NYT notes: “When indictments are brought against several defendants, legal experts said that prosecutors were more likely to seek lighter sentences for the first defendants who decide to help their cases. Because Vick could be the last defendant to make a plea, he could face the longest sentence.”

If Vick rolls over, he’ll serve 1-2 years in Federal lockup, and according to Bill Romanowski on KLAC-AM this week (audio link), soon be signed by the Raiders thereafter.
