Vick Dogfighting Home Returns to Auction Block

While he waits to get out of jail, there is a good chance suspended NFL QB Michael Vick will never step foot in his infamous Virginia home again.

The residence that served as the headquarters for Vick's famed dogfighting operation in Surry County, Va., is once again on the auction blocks.

Motley's Auction and Realty Group is in charge of the sale of the five-bedroom house in Surry County. The company's Web site reports that the bidding Friday was to start at $590,000.

Developer Wilbur Ray Todd Jr. purchased the home from Vick for $450,000.

A year ago at auction, he rejected a bid of $747,000, which is the assessed value of the property for tax purposes. The house was placed on the market but has not sold.

Vick, meantime, who once quarterbacked the Atlanta Falcons, is serving a 23-month sentence for a dogfighting conspiracy.

Vick's former team is currently 8-5 with QB Matt Ryan leading the way.
