(AP) – Michael Vick arrived at his Virginia home today after being released yesterday from federal prison. After 19 months in a Kansas lock-up, the suspended NFL player will spend the remaining two months of his sentence for financing a dogfighting operation under home confinement, wearing an electronic monitor and working a $10-an-hour job as a laborer for a construction company.
