in other news, marbury is an idiot. dogfighting is a sport?? please. what's "sport" about it? if they want to make it a sport, then put vick in the ring with a pit bull.

"I think he's one of the superb athletes, and he's a good human being. I just think that he fell into a bad situation."

fell into a bad situation??? seems like marbury has his head up his backside. marbury is a great example of why morons should be silent.

Stephon Xavior Marbury should be ashamed of himself. To condone such an egregious action...he's a snake in the grass!

Yeah...he got caught. That's the bad situation to these morons who are defending Vick.

I guarantee you, regardless of the sentence, Vick will never see anything wrong with what he did.

Remember who's defending this jerk when buying your sports gear...no Starbury's!

Marbury and Vick are like a lot of pro athletes ... they've got everything goin' for them except character.

PETA V. THE NAACP. I can't wait to watch this one!

Damn my two favorite organizations about to square off. I'll have to keep changing corners to show my loyalty for both.

If Pete Rose can't participate in baseball, why should Vick get to play football ????

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

MDV shouldn't see a down in football anytime soon because of this criminal action. These were sick and wounded dogs he abused for the act of dogfighting!

Did anyone watch REALSports on HBO? I touched base on it at the tailgate that there was a video of a bulldog (and no...I'm not kidding) that was sick and wounded from being used for fighting purposes and there was a black man who kicked his face while it yelped in pain and said "get the eff [eff...from DragonTigerNemesis] out of my way." Two other men laughed at the dog in the video shortly before it died.

That is something Vick specialized in and he is a disgusting individual. I don't care what kind of dogs were or are used, Vick should be forced to pay restitution for their lives, something no one on here has mentioned at all!

Low down, dirty, malicious, ignorant, crazy, heartless, arrogant, evil, lewd, demeaning, worthless, awful, yellow, nasty, embittered, vile, irresponsible, crude, knucklehead! And he shouldn't be allowed to purchase a dog ever!

So, if he only does a year, he won't be out until Dec 10, 2008 so thats another season lost. Thats assuming he goes on that day. Even if he gets reinstated, I don't see him back for at least 5 years. Put a fork in him, he's done!!

[CarlE]

I just read his statement. I'll be danged. Yet ANOTHER athlete that has found religion after getting caught doing something illegal. That God sure is getting them now, isn't he?

And, he found it BEFORE jail. He must be starting to sweat the thought of "Bubba" as his cell mate. BTW, I saw his statement and I don't believe a damn word he said.

"I'm more disappointed in myself, if anything, it's because of all the young people, young kids, I've let down, who look at Michael Vick as a role model," Vick said. "To have to go though this, and put myself in this situation, I hope that every young kid out in the world watching this interview right now or who has been following the case will use me as an example to use better judgment and make better decisions."

vick is only sorry that he got caught. guys that get their kicks off of watching dogs kill other dogs, and who kill dogs in disgusting ways after they lose, could never feel remorse for their actions. they only feel sorry that they were so stupid in getting caught. they're just plain sick.

where's the arrogant fool who once said "no matter what i do, people are always gonna love mike vick."

LOL. vick's going to have a whole new appreciation for the term "tight end."

[CarlE]

I'm curious. How much longer until we are referring to him as Reverend Vick???

Hahaha probably when he gets out of prison. People will feel bad because he had to go to prison.

Completely agree. He's reading what someone told him to say. It's all about PR now and his lawyers/advisors aren't stupid. Talking about God, kids & being a role model is the thing to do. He'll never believe what he did is wrong. Pucker up buddy!

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

Vick to put God into the discussion? He better be a devoted person if he's going to do that. Massillon Catholic, you know is a devoted person. Vick? Wait and see...

Is football not like baseball ?? Pete Rose got a lifetime ban for illegal gambling. If Vick EVER gets re-instated, Rose needs to immediately be enshrined !!

It's been hammered into our skulls that life isn't fair. Your little brother is taller than you. The boss' son has an edge on you. You went to a state school, and you're competing against kids who went to Harvard. Life isn't fair. We all understand, except when it comes to race. Only with race do we demand the myth that the scales are equaled, that everything we've done, everything we've been, has now become wonderfully balanced. When the myth of equality is disturbed, we recoil and then uncoil. Even when simple, obvious observations about life being unfair are raised -- black quarterbacks are judged differently than white ones -- intelligence immediately takes a holiday.

Think about language, the term "the race card," and feel the sting of being slapped right in the face. The sum of another person's life experience can be reduced by your countrymen to nothing more than a tactic needed to win a game, the strategic equivalent of calling a fake punt when the time is right. To them, the life you've lived is nothing but a cheap gimmick, the desperation play in times of emergency.

"I am a 53-year-old black man who grew up during the '60s civil rights era, the Black Panthers, and the Nation of Islam here in Oakland, Calif. My friends have called me an 'Uncle Tom' because I don't have any sympathy for Vick. This case is NOT about race. It's about right or wrong. Period. I never thought that in a million years that I would make this statement."
