THE MICHAEL VICK CASE
No deal yet for QB
There still was no word Sunday on whether Falcons QB Michael Vick will make a plea agreement with prosecutors in his federal indictment on dogfighting charges. A grand jury is scheduled to convene Monday, although there’s no indication it will take up further allegations against Vick. Federal prosecutors have said they plan to seek a superseding indictment, which would include new charges, including racketeering, sources told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
In like Quinn?
Asked if Brady Quinn is now in the mix to be the starter after going 13-of 20-for 155 yards with two touchdowns in the final 9 minutes 20 seconds of the Browns’ 23-20 loss to the Lions, coach Romeo Crennel didn’t say no. “You’ve got to give the young man credit,” he said. “Their best guys weren’t in there, but our best guys weren’t in there either. I’ll look at the tape and we’ll decide.”
