I heard on a radio program that they tie up a female dog to a thing they have accurately named a "rape pole" and let the males have at it before a fight.
How f'd up can you get?
Got a tip for us?

was listening to the radio this morning and the dj's were talking about how the losing dogs were often hung or electrocuted. 
yeah.. pretty sick.. how could vick even condone something like that. the dj's suggested the falcons hooked electrodes up to vick and every time he f'ed up on field or lost a game.... zzzzzzap!

dog fighting
Dog fighting is terrible, but cultures all around the world have this form of entertainment/gambling opportunity. But where should all the media attention go to, the War in Iraq, those are animals, yet Americans has let a few people have the power to kill close to half a million people.
Yeah, we are the moral compass of the world.

That's a bit extreme, no?
Why not dip his family jewels in gravy and put them in the ring with the dogs? Are we not a civilized society?
Not quite. The NFL told Vick not to show up for training camp and told the Falcons not to assess any sort of punishment at this time even. Before receiving word from the league office the Falcons were planning on suspending Vick for 4 games.

The way the press conference sounded I got the impression that he was suspended indefinitely.
From what I understand is the NFL told Michael Vick to not report to training camp while it conducts it's own investigation as to whether he has violated the leagues personal conduct policies. Vick will still be paid his pre-season pay, but I wouldn't doubt a ruling will be made within the next two to three weeks when and if the NFL completes their own investigation. A suspension would more than seem likely, but as for how long is anyone's guess.

That is ****ed up. All of it.
If it's clear-cut enough, then yes I do.
This can't be explained in less extreme terms. There's no soft story. There's no "I was helping an old lady cross the street, when I looked to my left and saw 2 pitbulls fighting.......(in my house). Mysteriously, money started flying out of my pocket, and the rest is history...."
That's crap. Should have given him 8-12 games, maybe the season.
So dude done messed up his Nike deal.....come on Mr. Vick you are messing up that running game you got.
Mr. Vick will find himself being oust out of a lot of deals....so sad.
Bless

I don't have sympathy for people who are given everything and then throw it all away...Vick has the simplest of tasks before him: play a game, make sick amounts of cash, and don't get in trouble with the law. Like so many other NFL players, he fails at this. How stupid can you be?

Meh, there's nothing wrong with dog fighting... What is cool, is rooster fighting but thats still banned in america.
Although there will apparently still be persons of low moral character who will defend Vick, apparently, the NFL commissioner isn't one of them:

He's likely done for the year.
This isn't just applicable for sports celebrities. I recall similar things being said about Kate Moss when she was caught in photos doing cocaine. There were rumors that her career was over and several of her contracts were rescinded. Yet she still came back (to some extent, at least). IMO we are too forgetful and forgiving of celebrity. A one year suspension seems like hardly a slap on the wrist when you've already made that much money. I would hope for something that will really make him re-think his actions.
vick is a sick person. what a scumbag. thought he was overrated anyway. my friend in atlanta who never liked vick had a gut feeling about him being no good for the franchise all along (since day one) and it turns out he was right. the falcons are kicking themselves for giving vick that cash and trading schaub. vick has no fans left, they don't even want to talk about him.
vick can say goodbye to all of his other endorsements. i think this is going to be as big as the pete rose and oj cases (could be this generation's version of it).

Can't wait for the non-comment comment by the NFL days after the guilty plea, "We are still conducting our own investigation into the incident."
Especially since he isn't legally guilty yet.
Edit: Still got to wait a couple days until he enters his plea, though I'm sure we will see the he was railroaded statements soon anyhow.

i'm interested to see what the new commish is going to do with vick.
what vick did was wrong to say the least. he'll be put in jail and fined big time. he'll probably be suspended for a year or 2 by the nfl.
BUT, this talk of banning him forever kind of bothers me. not b/c i don't believe that is right b/c that would be perfect actually, but a guy like Leonard little is still playing and he KILLED a lady DRUNK DRIVING.
AND, if my memory serves me correct, he also was nailed for DD AGAIN a few years later. Now of course, that was a different commish, but why in the hell that moron is still playing is beyond me. What Vick did was wrong, but i'm pretty sure it's not worse than what Little did. Who knows...maybe they're on the same level.
The point is i'm just interested to see what Goodell is going to do. I bet he's beyond p*ssed considering Vick told him not to worry.
Stories like and Brendan Bell, a defenceman for the Toronto Maple Leafs, really want to turn me off pro sports. Bell got in a DD accident, hurt a guy and tried running from the scene. get this: his jail sentence is delayed UNTIL after the SEASON! WTF!?!?! must be nice.....
ugh.
