RICHMOND, Va. (AP)—Suspended NFL star Michael Vick(notes) left a Kansas prison before dawn Wednesday to begin home confinement in Virginia, one of his attorneys said, the latest step on a journey that Vick hopes will lead to his reinstatement.

Vick, who turns 29 in June, slipped past waiting cameras and reporters undetected to leave a federal penitentiary in Leavenworth after serving 19 months for financing a dogfighting ring. He was headed to Virginia by car to begin two months of home confinement at his five-bedroom house in Hampton before a scheduled released from federal custody on July 20.

He was accompanied by his fiance, Kijafa Frink, and they were traveling back to Virginia with several members of a security team arranged for by Vick’s team of lawyers and advisers, a person familiar with the plans told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

From what I hear he is hitting the gym hard starting today to get back into shape.

I think in the coming weeks he meets with the NFL commissioner. The commish said if he senses genuine remorse he will be allowed to play.

Boo, keep him on the streets, no football!

Agreed. They should have the guts to make sure he never plays for anyone again. EVER. I don't care if he does seem like he regrets it, he only regrets getting caught. You either feel animal cruelty is wrong or you don't. Being punished for it doesn't change your mind.

I don't really agree with that but I don't believe he should be able to play.

It's really hard to feel sorry for this guy whose claiming bankruptcy but wants to keep his three cars and two homes. Thank goodness the judge rejected his bankruptcy plan last month.

Personally I doubt he'll play again but who knows. I know I'll certainly not be encouraging my children to watch any team that would field a player that thought it was just a fine thing to abuse animals and force them into fighting situations.

He has had nothing else to do besides hitting the gym hard for quite a while. You can bet that the Commissioner will sense genuine remorse.

No kidding, I hope they video tape the meeting so we can all see how "genuine" it is.

He's probably already made more money than I will in my lifetime! Off to get lottery tickets.

As despicable as animal cruelty is, I don't believe in punishment imposed by society, especially after completion of jail time.

He was sentanced and carried out that sentance. I don't care what he does with the rest of his life, but I don't think that he has any less of a right to be hired to play football as anyone else out there.

I think what he did was wrong and he regreted getting caught but I also believe he will be back on the field in no time.
