Michael Vick’s lawyer said Monday the NFL star will plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges. The Atlanta Falcons quarterback is facing up to 18 months in prison and this decision will ultimately put the future of his NFL career up in the air. Here is the statement released by his lawyer:
“Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to those charges and to accept full responsibility for his actions and the mistakes he has made,” Martin said in a statement. “Michael wishes to apologize again to everyone who has been hurt by this matter.” [SOURCE]


















That’s a waste of God given talent. good look on the pic Angel!!!
He did the crime so he should do the time
Damn Vick, Why Vick, Lawd Vick???
Well it aint no use now. Damn, where Judah when you need his ass?
shame on u micheal vick….they ought to let some dog mauls his ass
He had no other choice . If he decided to go on trial, he would have lost and ended up getting a harsher sentence. I hope he learned something from all of this. It’s a sad situation because he will lose a lot behind this nonsense.
we REALLY need to do better…all that talent *smh*
MY NEIGHBOR SUCCESSFULLY FIGHTS HIS PIT BULLS IN DOG FIGHTS AND HAS PERSONALLY SEEN MICHAEL VICK IN NEW JERSEY ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AT DOG FIGHTS. HE TOLD ME THAT ANYTIME ONE OF MIKE’S DOGS LOSES A FIGHT THAT HE TRIES TO BUY THE WINNING DOG FROM THE PERSON THAT BEAT HIS DOG SO HE’LL HAVE ALL OF THE BEST DOGS IN THE FIGHTING CIRCUIT. MIKE DOESN’T LIKE TO LOSE AND SHOWS IT BY ACTING CHILDISH WHEN HIS DOG LOSES, AND 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 THE WINNING DOGS OWNER DOES NOT SELL THEIR DOG TO THIS FOOL!
I PERSONALLY THINK THAT DOG FIGHTING IS CRUEL BUT THAT’S WHAT MY NEIGHBOR WANTS TO DO AND IT’S HIS BUSINESS.
Stupid must run in his family but it’s kind of sad how hard the media has been going at him…it’s like some people in America are more worried about the protection of dogs than people, but that’s just my opinion…it is a waste of talent, he should have just left VA and not been involved in any of the bullshit up here…
I bet he didn’t see this coming.
Michael Vick is a dog.!!!
good Luck MV
Oh Well, Don’t Drop The Soap Homey
VICK > THE JENA SIX=MEDIA COVERAGE
WHO WOULD HAVE EVER KNOWN THAT A DOG HAS MORE RIGHTS THAN SIX BLACK HUMAN BEINGS IN AMERICA? IS THIS WHAT AMERICA’S FOUNDING FATHERS TRUELY WANTED? OF COURSE! HISTORY TELLS IT ALL!
Do the year and hope you have some bank left when you get out.
He’d be so sexy if he didn’t fight animals and have herpes…..
Another example of “trying to keep it real”. We all know that Michael Vick didn’t need the money this side hustle provided. It was probably a gig for his friends. Just goes to show you: If you are trying to advance in life sometimes you have to let go of some people if they don’t want to advance or stop certain activities (even if they are your so-called boys). Not that you don’t love them but you can’t save everyone just the ones that want to be saved. At the end of the day you see what trying to got him at the end (they all turned on him). Michael Vick isn’t completely innocent in all this but like someone said earlier, this is so sad and a waste of an opportunity.
I AM BEHIND VICK ALL THE WAY. WHAT I WANT TO SEE IS THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEX WITH THESE ANIMALS ON TRIAL!
Right is right and wrong is wrong…. he is most definitely wrong in this situation, and should suffer the consequences BUT………….. he could still get the damn b.i. wit his fine black ass ( am I wrong for that
) oh well, shiiiiiiii ~
He is pleading guilty to doing the crime. You do the crime, you do the time.
@ 13 I totally agree with you . It makes you wonder , what did Mike really do ?
#17 Why are you supporting him? Black & Famous? Figures
ANOTHER ONE TO THE LOST POTENIAL LIST…& LOL AT THAT PIC!
*POTENTIAL
I’m glad he stepped up and took responsibility – he really had no choice with ALL of his co-defenders pleading guilty and agreeing to testify against him.
I don’t think he needs to go to jail though – even though dog fighting is deplorable, there are people committing crimes against other people that need to go to jail – the law needs to focus their attention on them.
Make the man pay the fines and let him get back to his life. Hopefully the NFL only suspends him for a year (like Pacman), he learns something about himself and his “friends” in the process, and grows from the experience.
NOW IF WE CAN GET LOCAL AUTHORITIES ON THEIR A GAME FOR THOSE CHINESE RESTURANTS WE WILL BE GOOD. THEY ASSES COOK UP CATS AND DOGS ALL THE DAMN TIME I DONT SEE THEM BEING EXPLOITED AND EMBARRASSED . HMP
dog fighting is wrong. however, is it really that serious? i don’t think he would have gotten this much press if he killed a person (well, a black one–person that is).
I know what he did was wrong, but i wonder would this be all over the news if it was PEYTON MANNING. Just a thought…….
Dumb ass…
I knew after reading the court transcripts from Mike’s Boys that after the snitchin’ they laid on him he would have no choice but to plead guilty, I’m sure that because of his celebrity this is a lot larger story than it should be, believe me there are much more serious stories out there, but to Mike, hang in there bro, accept your penalties, just like on the field, but come back and if given the opportunity, be a great man, and take the field of life, and kick somebody’s ass, a lot of us don’t get second chances.
Vick should have made a deal a long time ago. He knew he was gulity now look at him. Getting ready to go to jail sorry prison federal at that. He will get another shot at the NFL in two or three years hope he don’t blow it that will be his last shoot.
Michael Vick is a good example on why NO ATHLETE should be paid that kind of money. That fool should have come out apologizing from the beginning and slid PETA some duckets. But no, he had to make a “keepin it real segment” for the world to see and his own flesh and blood and his so-called boys all turned on him. He ain’t that damn young anymore but he sure is dumb as hell. You mean to tell me that with millions of dollars the best actvity you could come up with is dogfighting and in VA of all places? That IDIOT knows that VA don’t play, period. They need to make all black athletes read “$40 Million Dollar Slave – The Rise, Fall and Redemption of the Black Athlete by William Rhoden
He had mayb he still do have the highest contract in the NFL. A promisìng career it’s just sad he was a hell of a QB.
Oh please, there are people being raped, tortured, and killed every f*cking day, yet people having a f*cking heart attack over some damn dogs. Regardless if his ass was black & famous.
I personally dont like dogs and hate pitbulls. There are bigger issues than dogfighting.
Got damn kids dying and starving, people doing beyond inhumane things to other people, yet peta crying over “Their Precious little Dogs”. I would love for a pitbull to bite the sh*t out of one of those PETA people. Let me see how those fools react then. Whatever yo. I dont even get down with Michael Vick like that but something about this sh*t has me fired up.

#17 Why are you supporting him? Black & Famous? Figures
……………………………………………………………………………….
NO, IF YOU WOULD HAVE READ MY OTHER COMMENT (#13) YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND WHY I SUPPORT HIM. I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY OR CAMERA TIME HE GETS. THAT’S WHY I ATTEND COLLEGE NOW, SO I CAN GET MINE! IT KILLS ME WHEN MEDIA DRIVES UN-NEWS WORTHY ISSUES VS. NEWS WORTHY ISSUES AS A COVER UP. I LIVE IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA AND EVERY 5 MINS, IT’S AN UPDATE ON HIS “TRIAL”. BUT WHA THAPPENS WHEN SIX BLACK “HUMAN BEINGS” ARE DEHUMANIZED?NOTHING. AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A “BLACK” MAN FIGHTS HIS OWN DOGS? .84 SECONDS OF MEDIA COVERAGE. WAKE UP REBEL! IT’S MORE THAN JUST BEING BLACK AND FAMOUS…YOU SHOULS KNOW, REBEL!…FIGURES (WHAT ARE YOU FIGHING FOR?)
vick stoopid. nuff said.
LOL @ 25

ameriki society so mix up. the ameriki woman think she pure but take the LBT (low back tattoo) and slut for every man even the gang member.
ameriki man cry baby if dog hurt but happy and smile when see captive muslim him tortured and head smash into wall and the object raping of the anus.
also at guantanamo the homosexual violence and sick of wiping the menstrual blood on muslim for defile. but ameriki so pure because feeling the sorry for dog.

stop1984now@yahoo.com
@ 25 exactly . I don’t any media covering those nasty ass chinese resturants, serving cats and dogs they’ve slaughtered to create some lo- mein , or pepper steak. But they are all over Mike .
Oh, well. I guess if you do the crime you got to do the time. Sucks for him. His career is gone down the drain.
but i do agree with the people on here that are stating that this case got too much media attention. the media in this country are flat out idiots. they don’t know WHAT to report. they passed over the missing black girl in florida for paris hilton’s dumb ass. lindsay hohan’s drunk chase got more time than the jena 6. this got more time than the three innocent young adults killed in jersey. so he was letting dogs fight- and its some more pro athletes that do more illegal and harmful stuff than letting dogs fight. why they tryna throw him out the nfl for gambling? now i can see if he were betting on games, but it was some friggin animals. they don’t do this much when somebody runs over a dog on the freeway! why now?!
I do have to cosign with the posts who say that there are more important issues that need covering like the “jena six” and Y the Katrina victims are still going through what they are going through…..
Im not a dog “lover” either so this really didnt just shock me the way it obviously did others. Im sayin that he was justified in the decisions he made but Im not about to sit here and just pretend to be bent all out of shape because he did this shit.
@ 38 Can you translate that into English please . Thanks
lol
Plain and simple he should do time.
I agree about too much media attention on this story,
but that’s the media for you.
Man he looks good. Dog fighting is cruel and inhumane so I think he should be punished. I don’t think jail time is the right route. Maybe he should be responsible for opening a shelter or rescue mission or something like that. I will cosign though and say that this is really the least of our worries when we still have people without homes, without food and heath care.
am I the only one who really doesn’t give a dizzzamn?
i agree # 13. I’m not a pet lover, next time Mike go to some other countries where its legal. Dog fighting has been here since the 18th century. So it’s nothing new to me.
I am on team vick with this one. let this ride. here it is he is doing time for some damn dogs and yet that white women that shot her minister husband in the back with a shot gun as he slept got less than 6 months!! Thats some bullish elaldo! What of all these damn illegal aliens coming here and killing folks and they cover that up ALL OF THE TIME. But they are going to take this man’s career? And if Pacman can come back, michael should too, hell Pacman’s actions led to aman being paralyzed, potentially killed. We need to recognize, White people ALWAYS have it out for us!!
#34 Well A Crime is a crime, Humans or Dogs it don’t matter. For people to say they love animals then say he shouldnt go to jail are contradicting themselves. I grew up with dogs so I guess that’s why I care. So many crimes happen on earth and won’t see the light of day on the news. So waiting on the media to report is dumb. Are you going to the Mayor’s Office are you Protesting? If not you can’t complain.
Vick is Rich & plays Football so of course everyone is gonna take up for him. I don’t give a damn and hopes he gets at LEAST 5 Years & Fined.
they should lock his ass up for life. He so fuck’n stupied.
#49
I AM ONLY ONE PERSON VS. A MILLION OF YOU WHO SEES THAT DOG RIGHTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN HUMAN/NATURAL RIGHTS. CURRENTLY I HAVE BEEN VOICING MY VIEWS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HAVE YOU GONE TO THE MAYOR’S OFFICE? DON’T QUESTION MY ACTIONS! THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES IN MY LIFE I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT OTHER THAN VICK. SO IF VICK GOES DOWN, THE WOMEN/MEN WHO HAVE INTERCOURSE W/ ANIMALS SHOULD GO DOWN AND THE ASIANS DESCRIBED IN #25 SHOULD GO DOWN. DON’T MAKE THIS A ONE WAY STREET. AMERICA IS IN A MORE TERRIBLE STATE THAN WHAT VICK IS IN NOW. I LIKE DOGS TOO…SO WHAT’S YOUR POINT?
This is the height of dumb nigga shit to me. This man had the biggest contract in the NFL, what did he need to make extra money on the side for??? I mean, I understand wanting to be an entrepreneur, but at least do something LEGAL. Absolute waste of talent.
But he will return to football whether or not he goes to jail. Similar to the Kobe Byrant situation, the man might be the most hated person in the sport, but ultimately no one can deny the talent.
People having sex with animals. Now that is uncalled for.
ALSO HERE IN ATLANTA, VERY HAVE BEEN ALOT OF RACE BASED VIEWS ON VICK’S TRIAL. SO, AM I SAYING IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HIS RACE, I’M 50/50 ON THAT. YES, B/C THE MEDIA IS KILLING THAT MAN’S REPUTATION…(JUST LIKE BERRY BONDS AND ALL HE DID WAS HIT HOMERUNS). TO BETTER GRASP MY POINT, A WAY TO DESTORY SOMEONE IS TO TEAR DOWN THEIR IMAGE. ONCE THAT HAPPENS, THE WORLD IS AGAINST YOU. ANSWER THIS? DID THEY DESTORY CHRIS BENOIT’S IMAGE? DID THEY DESTORY PRESIDENT’S BUSH IMAGE? I TALKING ABOUT COMPLETELY REVOLUTIONIZED THE WAY AMERICANS VIEW THEIR IMAGE? AND THEIR MAKING VICK CHEW TOYS FOR DOGS. AND JUST HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SEEN A SHOOTING TARGET WITH YOUR PRESIDENT’S FACE ON IT?
damn. i hate to see it happen. but if he did it then he should pay..and im a HUGE falcon fan by the way
but the people who testified against him said he would hang the injured dogs and if that didnt work he would drown them hisself. its sick but …..
Why doesn’t BLACK PEOPLE and ACCOUNTABILITY mix????
I swear, any time someone Black gets in trouble, we have a million Black people either playing the race card or say “Well, the ***insert race*** people does ***insert excuse**** so why should ****insert Black person’s name**** get in troube when they don’t?”
The fact is, Peyton Manning hasn’t been arrested and pleaded guilty for fighting and killing dogs, and Michael Vick has. So trying to justify what Michael Vick did with a “what if” Peyton Manning scenario is just plain IGNORANCE. I hate to say it, but this is just embarassing. We complain the MOST and do the absoute LEAST out of every other race in the world. We even went as far to support cheating Barry Bonds to break another Black Man’s record just to play the race card for the hell of it.
Every time someone Black gets in trouble, it’s June of 1995 all over again. White people say they didn’t because they were Black, Black people say they shouldn’t be held responsible because they are Black. OJ was found NOT GUILTY so both sides need to move on with their lives. Stop blaming the media and the opposite race to justify your own insecurities. I’m a young Black man trying to handle my business in this world and my success or failure won’t be because of Black or White people. I’ve 100% responsible and accountable for my own actions, both good and bad. If I killed 8 dogs with my bare hands, then they should throw my Black ass under the jail too. And if Brad Pitt does it then he should join me. If we both get away with it, hopefully the justice system will balance out by the next two they catch. Either way, your personal success or failure has NOTHING to do with celebrities so be objective and call it how you see it regardless of their skin color.
But according to reality, we’re Black so we can’t. We gotta distract ourselves with entertainment news, celebrity gossip, and blaming everyone but ourselves for the state of our race.
So let me stop with common sense and let yal return to Beyonce and figure out how to “Superman a hooooooooooooooooe!”
Although I agree that other news stories could be getting more coverage this is big news. Micheal Vick is one of the highest paid, if not the highest paid player in the NFL. If he doesn’t play this season or ever again, its a huge deal. You know how white people trip about sports.
And ultimately Vick has no one to blame but himself. Yes, the media plays a part in your image, but this is why a lot of celebs and sports figures stay on their best behavior.
I have no sympathy for him.
This Fool needs to take is ass to jail!! im so damn tired of our people EXCUSING every damn behavior like we are just flat out retarded!! but you still have these dumb ass uninformed judge mathis brown or whoever watching folk who just don’t pay attention. Black folks we are making it ok to be mediocre and down right criminal. Please don’t give this crap about conspiracy. This fool blew it flat out over some damn DOGFIGHTING! No excuse people stop it.
People…some of you really need to brush up on the law…
Seriously, some of these comments are absolutely ridiculous in their ignorance. So Michael Vick shouldn’t go to jail because there are worse crimes out there? Michael Vick, who just plead guilty for the torture and killing of dozens of innocent animals all for the sake of gambling SHOULDN’T do the time required of his offense because some Chinese food places MAY serve cat as chicken? What a world we live in.
The law is the law and wrong is wrong. Regardless of what’s going on in the world the law in the US is responsible for upholding itself against WHOEVER breaks its codes. And sorry, but that includes Michael Vick. What he did was illegal, he KNEW it was illegal, and he got caught. Not about to let his ass off just because there are worse crimes out there. If they did that for a white person MOST of you would be on these boards crying racism. But since it’s Mike Vick you want to let him off because there are “worse crimes out there”?
The reverse racism on these boards is painful sometimes.
And trust, if Payton Manning had been caught running an illegal dog fighting ring on one of his properties, this might have been a bigger story BECAUSE he was white, if anything…
#58 – Agree.
The only Black and White I see is RIGHT and WRONG. If someone pleads guilty, they are WRONG and should suffer the consequences of their actions. They don’t understand that Black people get in trouble because Black people create trouble. Peyton Manning ain’t fighting dogs. Brett Favre ain’t talking crazy and makin’ it rain at Magic City. Dan Marino don’t still hang out with Lil Reg and them from the hood. I’m a 25 year old Black man and I never been to jail and it hasn’t been because of luck either. I don’t go out of my way to act ignorant and commit crime so the police don’t go out of the way to find something and arrest me. It’s that simple!
