The Facts:
New HC Bobby Petrino has known Vick for only a few months. That's long enough to believe his biggest star wasn't involved in an alleged dog-fighting operation. "I need to believe in Michael," said Petrino. "Michael is working very closely with his attorney to resolve the situation in Virginia. ... We're hoping for a positive and quick outcome."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
After shipping top backup Matt Schaub off to Houston in March, Petrino doesn't just need to believe in Vick, he needs him on the field and focused on football. The new coach clearly wants to get the issue off his plate as soon as possible. The Falcons hold a three-day mini-camp this weekend, a crucial phase in the installation of Petrino's offensive scheme. "We've got to take all the distractions, put them on the shelf and concentrate on football," the coach said. ... That might be a chore with Vick on board.
