Vick's former home fails to sell at auction

BUFORD, Ga. (AP) -- Michael Vick's house is still available.No one made an offer on the luxury home in suburban Atlanta at an auction Tuesday. A minimum bid of $3.2 million was required, but only two parties showed up and neither brought the $160,000 payment that was needed just to start the auction.


Sterling Realty Services president Narender Reddy said there is no market for the eight-bedroom, 11-bath home at that price in light of the economy. The whole process lasted less than an hour. Now, a bankruptcy judge must decide the next step for Vick’s house.

The former star quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons is serving a nearly two-year sentence after pleading guilty to running a dogfighting ring.

Vick's broke as a joke. I can't believe how unreal this situation is. The guy was the man, the most loved football player in the NFL. Now he can't even get someone to bid on a nice house because of his reputation. Crazy.
