Walk a mile in a man's shoes then you can talk. Until then, shut the up!!!You have trouble because you're stupid. It's got nothing to do with what color you might be.
He's never coming back to the NFL. Good riddance. He has had like 4-5 controversial things before this too. The obscene gesture incident... Ron Mexico...
Bye bye. Sucks for Atlanta. And who cares about rape and murder in comparison, all three things (killing defenseless animals, raping, murder) are sick and any of these people should have the wrath of human judgment brought upon them. 99% of the time rape cases are accusations anyways. This has determinative proof and co-defendants ready to accuse.
If he does come back, I don't see many willing to gamble on it... he won't be fresh at all after being cooped up in prison.

I haven't walked a mile in Michael Vick's shoes so maybe I should shut the up but he is admitting his guilt in this so he deserves any punishment he gets for this.
I wasn't talking about Vick, the thread got derailed and we were talking about who knows what.
or considering he'll have 1-2 years of nothing to do except work out, he might be in the best shape of his life.
Agree with that. There should be separate threads talking about whether Leonard Little and Ray Lewis got off too light. There is no doubt that Vick will deserve what he gets. And almost certainly he deserved much more than what the judge will hand out.
Hey stupid, can I borrow your shoes?![]()
You don't have to walk in Vick's shoes to judge that what he did was wrong, sick, and stupid. He deserves all the scruitiny he is recieving. Anyone trying to bring race into the issue is a ing moron.
I like dogs as much as the next guy but I can honestly say those who murder or rape humans are lower on the totem pole than dogfighters. Then again, maybe I'm just a sucker for that whole human life thing.
Killing defenseless animals such as these dogs is a deplorable act. Vick should pay a price for being involved ... and he will. But human life > animal life in every cir stance.
If you are convicted of Murder or Rape, you'll get a much heavier sentence than 1 to 5 years in a federal pen. You'll do hard time in a state pen. I don't see how there's any argument here. Vick isn't facing 20 to life for the dogfighting, he's only facing 1 yr for the dogfighting. It's the other charge (interstate something or other) that's got him facing 5 years.
Which he will not be charged with under the plea agreement he is signing. Also apart of the agreement is that the local prosecutor in Virginia will not be able to levy seperate charges after the Fed is done.
Thats why Vick is taking the deal. Its as sweet as he could possibly get.
Wear it proud, hopefully in a very public place.
Peta might disagree with alot of us here. I didn't like much how they protested at the Falcons training camp, calling the Falcon players dog killers and such. Vick wasn't even there.
You have got to be the worst black person ever.
I think he's a self-hating white guy who deep down wants to be black. Like Jamie Kennedy in that ty Malibu movie.

R.L. White, president of the NAACP's Atlanta chapter said "Michael Vick has received more negative press than if he had killed a human being." and "As a society, we should aid in his rehabilitation and welcome a new Michael Vick back into the community" and he wants people to forgive Vick for making a mistake......funny, they don't want to forgive Don Imus. Bad form NAACP, bad form.
I like how the NAACP guy said "Vick made a mistake." As if this was a one time event and not a major part of his lifestyle.
Im sure Martin Luther King is rolling in his grave right now
I think that would have happened a LONG time ago. The NAACP is another example of a group that started for very very good reasons, but has allowed it to become a cartoon of itself.
They are a joke now and do more harm for their people than good.
Didn't know where to put this...The Club because it's Pit Bulls?

Pit Bulls at Vick's House Face Deadline
By ZINIE CHEN SAMPSON
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - More than 50 pit bulls seized from Michael Vick's property face a Thursday deadline to be claimed. If no one comes forward, they could be euthanized.
Federal prosecutors filed court do ents last month to condemn 53 pit bulls seized in April as part of the investigation into dogfighting on the Vick's property. No one has claimed any of the dogs, which are being held at several unspecified shelters in eastern Virginia, the U.S. Attorney's office said Wednesday.
The civil complaint filed by federal prosecutors does not name the Atlanta Falcons quarterback and is separate from the criminal case against him. But it does state the pit bulls were part of the dogfighting operation known as "Bad Newz Kennels," which Vick and three cohorts are accused of operating.
Also included in the do ent are detailed allegations about the nature of the animals' training regimen and the dogfights occurring at Vick's property at 1915 Moonlight Road in Surry County.
The government filed three public civil forfeiture notices in a Richmond newspaper to publicize the dogs' confiscation, and the deadline for claims is 30 days after the appearance of the final notice, filed July 24.
Federal prosecutors declined to comment Wednesday on the seized dogs. Typically, when confiscated property goes unclaimed, the government asks the court to have the items declared forfeited. In this case, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson will make the final decision on the dogs' fate.
"There's no dispute over who owns the dogs," said Daphna Nachminovitch, a spokeswoman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. "Obviously this is not going to be a process where someone steps forward and says, 'This is my dog, can I have her back, please?' "
Though Hudson, who also is handling Vick's criminal case, will determine what becomes of the pit bulls, Nachminovitch said that it's likely that they will be euthanized because they're not adoptable as pets.
"These dogs are a ticking time bomb," she said. "Rehabilitating fighting dogs is not in the cards. It's widely accepted that euthanasia is the most humane thing for them."
Vick, 27, said through a lawyer this week that he will plead guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and conspiracy to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture. He is scheduled to enter his plea agreement Monday and could face up to five years in prison.
Three Vick associates have pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge and agreed to testify against him if the case went to trial. They said Vick provided virtually all the gambling and operating funds for the Bad Newz Kennels enterprise. Two of them also said Vick participated in executing at least eight underperforming dogs by various means, including drowning and hanging.
The locations of the shelters holding the dogs haven't been disclosed out of concern that the animals could be stolen, Nachminovitch said.
"They are a hot commodity in the world of dogfighting," she said.
