Michael Vick Pleads Guilty

 

RICHMOND, Va. — Michael Vick’s lawyer said Monday the NFL star will plead guilty to charges relating to a federal dogfighting case, putting the Atlanta Falcons quarterback’s career in jeopardy and leaving him subject to a prison term.

The offense is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although federal sentencing guidelines most likely would call for less.

Full Story

I could tell it was over for him, the evidence was just piling up. Damn he couldn’t find something better to do with his money?

its crazy because i seems like things would be much different if the media did’nt play such a big part in this it’s because of them that this is so serious. he should’nt have plead guilty man, damn another black high profiled athlete victimized by jeolousy.

I wouldnt pull the race card out on this one. anybody who knows PETA, knows that they would of done the same thing with the media with anyone.

And another thing, was up with us black people so quick to go easy on our black athletes even if they deserve to be punished?

S.carter wrote on August 20th, 2007 at 2:13 pm

wat makes him deserve to be punished he hasent even been convicted yet and everyone is telling him to cop a plea. you sound like like you need to be on the other side. talkin bout us black athlete, whatever stand up for whats right no ones pulling no race card, and wat makes you know so much about PETA. you sound ignorant.

PhatBack36 wrote on August 20th, 2007 at 2:18 pm

This is just another case of a black person who they feel the need to crucify before he gets too high. Didn’t Patrcik Kerney just have someone raped in his house while he was there and nothing is happenin with that, nobody even hears that shit. Didn’t Pac go to the pen for that same shit? Jamal Lewis had a 2000 yard almost record breaking season and by some strange coincidence the following offseason he’s on trial for a drug deal from when he was still in college. Ray Lewis looks like he might be building something crazy in Baltimore next thing he’s up for murder. Instead of trying to crucify Vick for some dogs why don’t they put that same effort into finding the killers of Pac,Big.Jam Master Jay and the list goes on and on.

SMH at some of you in this post. I knew you fools were gonna bring race into this. Its always a black-white thing to some folks. Vick couldve killed another man and yall wouldve been like “The media doesn’t like him cuz he be black!”

S. carter and phatback, yall make us black people look stupid. No wonder dudes stereotype us.

izreal wrote on August 20th, 2007 at 2:30 pm

He did the right thing by pleading. Too much damaging circumstantial evidence coupled with tesitmony of those in his inner circle pretty much dictates that he would have been destroyed in a court of law.

No defense lawyer(especially those who solicit the servcies of superstars), would agree to a plea if they felt they had any viable defense. Michael Vick going to trial and getting 6 years in prison would be damaging to their firm.

I know drug dealers on the street who have enough sense to put enough buffers between them and their activities, I don’t know what Mike Vick was thinking to let himself get so close.

We make any funny comments you want but at the end of the day, its sad becasue this brother was in a position to do a lot of good in our community and he squnadered it.

Even if you throw out the dog fighting indictments, his career would have been over becasue of the implicaitons he was involved in a gmabling ring. Gambling, of any kind, has become a major issue latley.

Please hommie its because of niggaz like you that prople think they can stereotype us because no one says anything tell it like it is. lets not forget he hasent been convicted yet so dont relate this to murder are u serious..

For those who choose to make excuses for this GROWN individual..

JUST STOP.

He chose to commit a disgusting, shameless and cruel crime and was busted.

If he wants to act like a thug or criminal then he’ll be treated as such.

I know dude’s who have done time for stealing cars.. they’ve done about 6 months.

Well, in my eyes.. stealing cars is nowhere near as bad as killing 50-70 dogs.. which is how many dogs were buried on his property.

HE HAD 50-70 DEAD DOGS ON HIS PROPERTY!!!!!

GO OUTSIDE AND KILL JUST 1 DOG AND TELL ME IT’S NO BIG DEAL.. AND THEN REPEAT THAT 50-70 TIMES.

THIS GUY IS GARBAGE. SO SAD THAT HE CARES MORE ABOUT HIS HOOD ROOTS THAN HIS FUTURE.

TRASH.

HIS OWN DECISION.

HE KNOWS IT AND YOU SHOULD TOO.

DAMN, TAKE HIS MINI-VICK OUT YOUR A** AND MAYBE YOU’D THINK STRAIGHT.

send his ass to jail. good riddance. or make him go into the octagon, fight Chuck Liddell, if he looses he gets electrocuted! True a dog does not equal a person, but our society has placed value on them so that is just how it is… Vick sucked anyways.

Mi Mi wrote on August 20th, 2007 at 3:25 pm

I feel so bad for Vick…I personally think they are making an example out of him. I know a cruel act of conduct was performed on his part…but, there are far more important matters and dangers that affect our society far worst than a NFL player engaging in a illegal act such as dog fighting. I figured they would do to him as they did to Pacman…but, shit is going too far.

Once the FEDS got you ITS A WRAP. Vick can kiss his career goodbye and I hope he stashed a couple million so that he has something to fall back on when he gets out..look at what happened to Jacob to Jeweler the FEDS got a hold of him and his life is over…smh.

Mi Mi wrote on August 20th, 2007 at 3:59 pm

@ blanco

The NFL league are trying to clean up their act and before all this shit went down with Vick, they were going to tighten up their policies, rules and regulations. I feel along with that and PETA they took this situation to a level that it didn’t have to go.

And as far Vick he actually got my older sister, Kiafra (not biological, but we grew up together) pregnant from Hampton University in 03. He supported her, copped her Ranges and Beemers, went to college events with her, let her whip his black S600 etc. while she was still in school. And was and is obviously still supporting her and their son. I fell out with her ever since she decided to move to VA from NY for good. So I DO know people in the equation…AND I FEEL BAD FOR HER & WHAT SHE IS ENDURING THEREFORE, I FEEL BAD FOR HIM.

This is sad. Just goes to show you friends you grow up with have to go once you make it to a certain level.

He took care of them for years, and all of that goes out of the window, once they get caught doing, what they knew was wrong from day one.

Now flip it around, look at Barry Bonds, the White guy went to jail for Barry and didn’t tell on him?? What’s wrong with this picture? Niggas claim to be so real, yet time the cops get involved they sell their souls. I hope Vick gets little to no punishment, and comes back to the NFL, and breaks all of the records.

Although, I know that want happen, b/c the whites will not allow him to EVER play again. The media is so fucking one sided. They was so open minded about the Duke boys, yet when it came to Vick, no patience!! Typical double standard. AS far as PETA,ask them why they care more ofr some damn dogs, more then people? White folks have always loved animals more then people. Look at history Blacks couldn’t use the bathroom on federal property, yet dogs could!! I say fuck them dogs, and worry about bigger issues, like our soilders dying in Iraq for nothing. Fix the health care system, fix soical secrity, fix the double standard in the justice system for Blacks v/s whites!!

Yall acting like Vick is really going to jail.That why he copped out to avoid jail time. Think about it his homeboy is snitching him out and the feds got prove. You can’t fight a case like that. He going to do some community service that all.The media needs to stop combining this with hip hop. This has nothing to do with music.In PR they fighting roasters do they blame that on their music? It obvious the American media wants to control hip hop (Like they don’t have there hand in the cookie jar now). It getting to a point where they even using our own people for lavage.Vick is a fucking dumbass nigga for even making those dogs fight.Didn’t Dmx do the same thing like 03? He didn’t get this much publicity .

I feel bad for Mike, but I will stand by him. I think I am one of his biggest fans> He got caught up the the wrong brothers who really didnt have anything to lose and used him. Maybe next time he will think before he puts his money on the line. He is very talented and I believe he will still get another chance in the NFL to show the world what he can do to football. While he is away like he said he has alot of time to think and grow up. When he comes home I will be looking for him somewhere in the spot light again. It is not over yet.
