Michael Dwayne Vick and dogfighting

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

MDV is really in some hot water. Making dogs fight...is he trying to become the Bob Arum/Don King of dogfighting???

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/falcons/2007-05-21-vick-update_N.htm

If these dogfighting allegations are true, then he should be dealt with strictly the way I expect from Roger Goodell...commissioner of the NFL!

Low down dirty, sadistic, horrendous, inconsistent, trashed, terrible, yellow, awful, sardonic, senseless fool......

[ChronicTiger]

Vick is a bad role model, an average QB, and a tool.............

:coolgleam:

[TigerswillbeTigers]

I'm confused. Are we talking about Ron Mexico here? The owner of Herpes simplex 2? AKA Mike Vick?
Is this the same guy?

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

TigerswillbeTigers,

MDV is in far more trouble than you can attest. Dogfighting is a serious felony. Heck, you can't even go to a dogfight and be a spectator because you risk being charged for being a spectator.

I've read up a lot on this cruel and foolish, uncool, crazy, knuckleheaded, evil, demeaning, sport. I can't believe a person like him would have such fights at his house.

Put me in the role of a centralized, open, venerable, effective, real, terse agent. I'd call authorities on his candy-coated Snickers arrogant, stinky, self and no one would ever notice!

[longtimefirsttime]

It's been reported there is possible evidence (possible video) that he was involved. OK, what's wrong with this picture? You're a highly recognized millionaire athlete and you're risking throwing it all away by trying to earn some money from illegal dogfighting?

"These are dogs that have been bred and trained for the purpose of fighting and killing other dogs," said Goodwin, who is the society's deputy manager of animal fighting issues. "We recommend that any dog put through this not be adopted out but be euthanized. The blame for every one of these dog deaths lies squarely on the shoulders of the people who breed them for these illegal purposes."

He owns the property but didn't know this was going on?

"Sixty-six dogs, mostly pit bulls, were seized from a Surry County home last month when a narcotics raid turned up evidence of dog fighting."

That's a lot of animal cruelty charges (in addition to other counts).

Who was involved with the narcotics activity?

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

longtimefirsttime,

You mean to make the statement that 66 dogs were seized from that home?

You're going to want to read this seven-parter: http://www.workingpitbull.com/dogfighting.htm

You won't believe the leading breed of dogs used for these fights......

[TigerswillbeTigers]

I think his Bro Marcus was in charge of the narcotics and security!

Funny and not all that inconceiveable.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

TigerswillbeTigers,

Marcus Deon Vick involved in the ring is a longshot but who knows. That cannot look good if he has a role in it. Michael Dwayne Vick as the promoter, 50 Cent as the ring announcer, Michael Gerard Tyson as the lead bite-by-bite commentator and Marv Philip Albert as an analyst, Chicago's Terry Tank Johnson as the referee......

That would be crazy......

Informant says Vick was 'heavyweight' in dog fights

Regardless of the allegations against Vick, I'm getting very sick of the "report" that ESPN has been playing pratically non-stop for the last 20 hours. At this point, ESPN is being negligent in showing this criminal act.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

Vick has been involved in dogfighting since 2001...a span of six years! I wonder about his reputation. All that time and no one noticed at all!

Vick has to be the dirtiest person given all those dogfighting claims. All that money...just think about all the cash he will be giving to the humane society......he won't be gleeful when the humane society gets a hold of his egotistical awful, stinky, self!

Latest search warrant for Vick's property put on hold

A search warrant issued, but not served, on the property owned by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick sought to unearth the remains of "approximately 30 dogs buried in various locations on the property."
W.R. Brinkman, a Surry County, Va., investigator and a member of the Virginia Dogfighting Task Force, requested approval to search the property. The warrant stated "reliable sources of information reveal" the presence of the dog remains and, on May 22, Brinkman "was informed that on or about April 23, 2007, that seven pit bulls were destroyed and buried in shallow graves on the property...."

[longtimefirsttime]

It makes his pot smoking allegations seem like nothing. The prosecution is allegedly lining up several witnesses who claim Vick was a "high roller" in the dogfighting world. We'll see how this all plays out.

[massillon catholic]

Vick has been given a "free-ride" ever since his days at Va Tech. Its clear to me that Michael and his brother are nothing more than trouble and the NFL should penalize him just as they would any other criminal.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

Massillon Catholic,

Vick should not get a free pass if he is found liable for all of this. Low down dirty malicious, inconsistent, crazy, heartless, awful, evil, loaded, demeaning, worthless, awful, yoke, nasty, egotistical, voracious, immature, classless, knucklehead.

It sounds to me like they already have the "goods" on Vick. He should be suspended for the year. The Falcons probably wish they had kept Schaub.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

Massillon Catholic,

Vick suspended for the year? Oh classy, humane, royal, intelligent, superb, tremendous......nice post!

Feds search Michael Vick's property today, July 6.

"17 Dogs Buried on Michael Vick's Property"
http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/07/07/17-dogs-buried-on-michael-vicks-property/

[DAWGH8R]

That's sick. I say just shoot him and his brother. Ban him from the NFL for gambling.

[longtimefirsttime]

To be fair and balanced...

"ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is unlikely to be indicted in the ongoing investigation that began when law enforcement found evidence of dog fighting on property he owns."

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/07/06/report-vick-unlikely-to-be-indicted/

But the gambling angle is a whole other issue.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

DAWGH8R,

17 buried sick and wounded dogs is enough to drive me the heck crazy. If Vick doesn't get indicted for this...no disrespect but there is a severe problem that will promote dogfighting.

[SuperBran]

but guys.....vick says that he had no idea what was going on at his house. it was a family member. i think we should just trust him, since he's been such a great person.


yeah right.


vick is a moron. he's nothing more than a highly paid thug.........and the most overrated player to ever play in the nfl.

too bad they traded schuab.

[longtimefirsttime]

They may really be regretting that right now.
