Mr. Vick, meet Mr. Sherman

Not since William Tecumseh Sherman has one person raised so much havoc in Atlanta as former Falcon quarterback Michael Vick has over the past year.

The latest came yesterday when head coach Bobby Petrino quit the team with three games left in the season to return to coaching at the college ranks.

On Monday, Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison for running a dog fighting operation and lying to cover it up.

That came months after Vick was suspended upon his indictment on the charges.

That move came after the Falcons traded their backup quarterback Matt Schaub to the Houston Texans, expecting Vick to be around to lead the team.

The Falcons have completely fallen apart. It will take years for them to regain the ground Vick's legal woes have cost them.
