over here theyre saying atl should trade him to n.o. so he can cockfight.

evidently its a huge house in rural Va that his first cousin (and main posse member) lives in. id bet he knows about it but isnt involved.

anyone remember who got dropped from their team for dogfighting?

was always a little worried about DD and his pitbull breeding obsession, too.

 

There is always something with Vick and its never his fault. The guy has an excuse for everything. The line can't block, the receivers can't catch, the bottle was for jewelry, the dogs were my cousins, yadda yadda yadda.

 

Nice. :hihi:

 

Well, of course. Elusiveness is his specialty.:hihi:

 

In the video game 'Blitz:the league' that came out last year one of the teams has a quarterback that is mobile, left handed, and wears #7 named 'Mike Mexico.' The Ron Mexico story cracks me up....

If this a** knew what was going on in that house I hope the commish drops the hammer on him. I'd love to see Vick be held accountable for something for once in his life.

 

Heres part of the story...you can see the rest at this LINK


I don't know what's going on'
Vick pleads ignorance; human society not buying it

ATLANTA (AP) -- Michael Vick blamed family members for taking advantage of his generosity after a police raid found evidence of dog fighting at property he owns in Virginia.

An animal rights group scoffed at that explanation, saying it's long suspected the Atlanta Falcons quarterback was involved in the fight-to-the-death activity.

Embroiled in another embarrassing -- and perhaps criminal -- situation, Vick traveled to New York on Friday to take part in activities leading up to the NFL draft.

Appearing at a news conference to announce his participation in the NFL Quarterback Challenge, Vick described himself as an unwitting victim of relatives living on his property in Smithfield, Va.

"I'm never at the house," Vick said, according to ajc.com. "I left the house with my family members and my cousin. They just haven't been doing the right thing."

Police conducting a drug investigation raided the Vick-owned house and found dozens of dogs, some injured and emaciated. Investigators also discovered items associated with dog fighting.

Vick claimed he knew nothing about it.

"It's unfortunate I have to take the heat," he said. "If I'm not there, I don't know what's going on. It's a call for me to really tighten down on who I'm trying to take care of. When it all boils down, people will try to take advantage of you and leave you out to dry. Lesson learned for me."

John Goodwin, who handles dog-fighting issues for The Humane Society of America, was skeptical that Vick was unaware of such a large operation -- especially when police were led to the property as part of a drug investigation after arresting the quarterback's 26-year-old cousin, Davon Boddie.

Goodwin said authorities found 66 dogs on the property, mostly pit bulls who appeared to be involved in organized fighting. He estimated it would cost up to $100 a day just to feed that number of animals, not to mention other hefty expenses.

 

I saw some footage of dog fighting on ESPN yesterday morning. If Vick is involved in this cruel act (sure looks like it), he should banned from the NFL and locked up. The sad thing is that apparently this practice is fairly popular in both the NFL and NBA. Why do some of these creeps make so much money again?

 

C'mon, banned and locked up? Dogfighting is more common than people want to admit. Doesn't make it right, but we don't have enough room in our jails for real criminals, much less those involved in dogfighting and cockfighting. If you're going to ban and lock them up, then you need to do the same to those who get DUIs, barfights, etc. Hurting people is much worse than hurting animals.

New found wealth doesn't make these guys any smarter. If you're stupid before you have money, odds are you are going to be stupid with money.

 

You got that right and it doesn't buy you class either.
