Sucky news for former pro football players Michael and Marcus Vick. After months of trying to trade him with no success, the Atlanta Falcons officially released suspended quarterback Michael Vick from their roster today. Michael has been suspended from the NFL for over a year after being convicted of dog fighting, and though he's since been released from prison, he has yet to be reinstated to NFL. Compounding problems for the brothers Vick is Marcus', who was released from the Miami Dolphins in 2007, violating the terms of his DUI sentence. Marc pleaded guilty in October to driving drunk, eluding a police officer and driving on the wrong side of the road and had been given a suspended sentence. Not sure what he did to violate the terms, but Marc is scheduled for an Aug. 5 hearing on whether or not to revoke his sentence and remand his ass to jail.
