Michael Vick - Page 5

In the big picture, you are correct, Poppa. I think his abilities were called into question as support that he will or will not be a hot ticket in the NFL regardless or whether or not he pleads.

My crystal ball says that he will be reinstated.  Players are not really paid for what they add to the game but for how many seats they can fill in the stadiums.  I think it was P.T. Barnum that said "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

I hope you are wrong, Poppa. I feel it won't happen, but I wouldn't bet the farm on his never playing again. Money talks and BS walks..............

spooky:  what are you smoking today?  Whatever it is.  Stop, for your own sake.  You are making a fool out of yourself.  And get that lamp shade off of your head.  You look like a fool.  It doesn't match your high heels.

It looks like Vick will soon find out about the commonwealth, he lives about 20 mintues from me in the country, but this state is known for hard law , it is very military and strict in all it's enforcements of laws , so he is in for a rude awakening , dont  know about sports put that and high power lawyers will not do much for him here, the courts pride themselfs on being strict  and competing with military law so he is in for the fight of his life weather her knows it or not. Will be interesting to see what his laywers do with not guilty, when all of his co-defendences are turning on him, the news said he was the one to kill some of the dogs and  I would like to know what has happened to the new house ( a replic of the other) that he is building in a rich section  were we live, it was no were finished when this stuff started, one of the ladies who lived in the neighborhood said we dont care if he lives here, innocent until proven guility, so who can tell what money can buy, but this will be the hardest state  to do that in .I dont think I would want to be him and take that chance here

Who cares who he is and how much he makes - fry his ass for what he has done.

Thanks - I just had to say that.

A plea?  Smells like guilty guilty guilty.  Drum him out on his ass.

the fact of the matter is that the dog fighting charge doesn't carry a very big sentence. as a first offense he would get probation at most. look at all other case laws on first time offenses. but since he gambled so much money that's where he's going to get hit hard. plus the fact that it was interstate for high money. like it or not 99% of whatever sentence he gets will be do to the high stakes illegal gambling not the dogs. so it's one of those cases where maybe he gets the sentence you think he deserves but not for the reasons you would have liked it to have been.

I really do not care what kind of crooks are hired to play football or any other sport. If they are caught they must be prosecuted just like anyone else. I do not care if they are high on crack, taking steroids, or just criminally stupid. None of these personal problems are my business. What they are paid is the result of a free market negotiation between them and the management. If they play a good game I might watch. If they squander a promising career on foolish crimes and antics they get what they deserve. Jonah

Evidently regardless of what Georgia does to Mike Vick the state of Virginia is going to present evidence to their Grand Jury. He could be tried seperately in Viginia and the following article states that he could receive up to forty years if convicted in Virginia.
