MICHAEL VICK'S TEAM MATES TO VISIT HIM IN PRISON; FINED BY THE NFL FOR SUPPORTING VICK DURING RECENT GAME.

Michael Vick's former Atlanta Falcons teammates has every intention on supporting their jailed quarterback and friend although his new home consists of iron bars and barbwire. Now, that's teamwork! Bless their hearts.

Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall said he and other players plan to visit quarterback Michael Vick in prison. Vick was sentenced to 23 months in federal custody after pleading guilty to federal charges related to dogfighting. "Probably in the next week or so," 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." Hall said it would be tough to see Vick in prison. "Probably harder for him to see us," he said. "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."

On the day of Vick's sentencing, Hall, Crumpler, Joe Horn, Chris Houston and Roddy White were fined by the NFL for uniform violations that had messages supporting Vick in a game.

AFTER THE JUMP, FIND OUT WHY VICK'S VIRGINIA HOME IS BACK ON THE MARKET.

In related news, Vick's Virgina home is back on the market for a cool $1.1 million. Developer Wilbur Ray Todd, Jr. tried unsuccessfully to auction off the property last month, which had an opening bid of $345,000. With only two bidders making offers, Todd rejected the final bid of $747,000, which was the assessed value of the property at 1915 Moonlight Road. Coincidentally, Vick's Virginia pad is the same pad the former quarterback (and his three co-defendants) raised pit bulls and trained them for fighting in the wooded area behind a 4,600-square-foot white brick house.
