IN BRIEF

RICHMOND, Va. The uncertainty surrounding Michael Vick's return to pro football as well as vague book and film deals prompted a bankruptcy judge to reject Vick's Chapter 11 plan and order a new one.

This time, the judge wants a proposal based on the stark reality facing Vick: He has about $210,000 but owes $1 million in fees from the bankruptcy case and about $3.7 million in legal bills some $13,700 a day since he filed for Chapter 11 protection in July.

Vick also faces at least $200,000 in annual living expenses if he keeps two Virginia homes and three vehicles. His only guaranteed income is a $10-an-hour construction job that will be part of his probation.
