The Atlanta Falcons quarterback and three others their pleas in U-S District Court to charges involving competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting, and conducting the enterprise across state lines.

Vick also was ordered to surrender any animal breeder or kennel license.
After the hearings, Vick's defense attorney Billy Martin read a

The trial date is set for November 26th.
