Sir Stewart Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Vick: "What I did was very immature, I need to grow up." Yeah, sounds like he "gets" it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 That doesn't look like a jury of his peers. I don't think he's going to get a fair trial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 He said, "Through this situation I've found Jesus."Translation: I'm guilty as hell. This is sick-making, but would you expect anything less? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I don't know what kind of PR move could possible un-fuck this situation, and I don't think Vick deserves a second chance. Whenever I look at Mike Vick, from now until the end of time, I'm gonna think "that's the sick motherf---er who drowned and tortured dogs." And everytime I look at my two wonderful little pups at home, it makes me able to try to understand less and less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 just about everyone "finds Jesus" when they are going to jail. Because of the church's deep pockets, he's able to post bail for almost any amount, so I imagine they are trying to get on his good side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Turns out Mike Vick may be in hot water with Jesus too. He said during his statement that he axed God for forgiveness. That's gotta hurt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I already posted this on the whoopi goldberg board, but thought those of you who are not members of both communities might want to see it: Goldberg Defends Vick in `View' Debut The Associated PressTuesday, September 4, 2007; 2:34 PM NEW YORK -- So much for the sedate alternative to Rosie O'Donnell on "The View." Whoopi Goldberg used her first day on the daytime chat show Tuesday to defend football star Michael Vick in his dogfighting case. Goldberg said that "from where he comes from" in the South, dogfighting isn't that unusual. "It's like cockfighting in Puerto Rico," she said. "There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of the country." The Atlanta Falcons quarterback pleaded guilty to federal dogfighting charges last week, admitting that he provided money for a dogfighting ring that operated on his Virginia property and helped kill six or eight pit bulls. Vick grew up in Newport News, Va. Goldberg was selected by series creator Barbara Walters to replace O'Donnell, whose stormy tenure on the ABC program lasted less than a year. In the Vick discussion, Goldberg served notice that she won't shy away from controversy. Co-host Joy Behar looked horrified at Goldberg. "How about dog torture and dog murdering?" Behar asked. For many people, dogs are sport, Goldberg replied, and it appeared it took awhile for Vick to realize that he was up against serious charges. "I just thought it was interesting, because it seemed like a light went off in his head when he realized this was something that the entire country didn't appreciate," she said. Vick has been suspended indefinitely by the National Football League and will be sentenced on the dogfighting charges in December. He apologized and asked for forgiveness upon entering his plea in federal court last week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jules Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Michael Vick Reinstated i think he should still be in jail.For how long? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isadorah Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 For how long? i think he should have gotten at least 5 years. actually i think it should have been longer than that, but to be realistic i'll go with 5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I do wonder what the backlash will be for the team that resigns him. I think if you serve time for a felony you lose your right to play professional sports, but I guess there's not a lot of call for such a law. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Personally, I have no problem with him playing football again. I don't envy whatever team signs him, though... I guess my view is, yea, he did a fucked up thing. But he served his time, and I don't see why he shouldn't be allowed to play football again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
