Steve Wyche of the ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION has a silver lining on the Falcons’ vomit-inducing season: Atlanta players will be able to visit Michael Vick in prison that much sooner.

Excerpt: “Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall said he and other players plan to visit quarterback Michael Vick in prison.” Hall said, “I think a couple guys are going to go up there to Virginia, get a chance to go see him. We all talked about [doing it] when the season was over. The season is over. We’ll try to formulate a plan to get up there to see him.”

Tight end Alge Crumpler and other players thought about visiting Vick earlier when he turned himself in, but because of time limits on visits, the players decided allow those moments soley for Vick’s family members.

More Hall: “It’s probably going to be real tough for him. I know when I spoke to him before training camp started, being told he wasn’t going to be able to come to training camp crushed him. He loved this team more than anything.”

We’re surprised Wyche didn’t mention that the only possible stumbling block to multiple Vick visits by Falcons players is undoubtedly the limited golf course choices near Vick’s prison.
