I think Vick is going to take a plea bargain...
Wow. Under this "leave of absence" scenario, can you imagine when the Texans travel to Atlanta with Schaub at QB and the Falcons have to trot out either Harrington or Culpepper? I think the home field advantage might even swing in our favor.

Yeah, I think the Texans just got a 9th home game this season.
Vick should get suspended.. without pay... because I see this coming...:
Yo....Roger Goodell....
How come your "Dog Boy" Vick gets paid while waiting trial... and I'm not getting anything while I'm sitting down waiting trial? Doesn't sounds fair to me. I'm taking the NFL to Court because some players seem more equal than others.

And we thought David Carr was a polarizing figure here in Houston !
I suspect any sentiments stirred up by DC in Houston would represent relative apathy compared to the passion and intensity of feelings happening in ATL right now over this issue.
But this is huge, bigger than you can imagine for ATL unless you know anything about that area. I lived there in the mid nineties and can tell you that the Braves owned that town and the Falcons were way behind back then in popularity before Vick arrived on the scene. But he single-handed turned everything around for the Falcons as far as fan support goes and is the greatest sports figure ever in ATL.
And as uncomfortable as it makes people feel and are reluctant to talk about it, racial division is the powerful fuel that is propelling this whole situation in ATL.

BTW, people wonder about the origion and history of dogfighting but don't know that such things were (and obviously still are to some extent) of the culture of the old South. Doesn't Bob McNair's alma mater call themselves the Gamecocks ?
"A cockfight is a blood sport between two specially trained roosters held in a ring called a cockpit."

And I didn't say I approved of chickens fighting to the death, nor do I think chickens are the equivalent of dogs, anymore than dogs are equivalent to human beings.

That's essentially my whole problem with this case. It's OK to watch ESPN & spike TV or whatever & see guys sitting up in trees in camo shooting at Deer & Moose who are minding their own business. Or for one of our own presidents to go duck hunting shooting at ducks for sport or entertainment. That's all well and good & carries no jail time as long as you're "in season."
There's a double standard at work here & the same people wishing for all these bad things to happen to him b/c of his involvement in this are the same people who condone the above mentioned deadly sports & think that nothing is wrong with it.
Yes in the letter of the law, he is out right wrong but i feel if we're going to have all this outrage about what's happening to f$%#-ing dogs, then the same rule of thumb needs to be applied to all gods creatures.

don't tell me your equating deer hunting with an illegal dog fighting ring and the training and the inhumane evil things that this entails.
i am not a hunter but its mostly done for sport and the meat that it produces. its just the food chain at work but instead of spears we have rifles. dog fighting is a different thing altogether and has no social redeeming quality whatsoever. then when you take into account that its illegal and totally immoral, then it further damns him.
just dont make the argument that the two are equitable because nothing could be farther from the truth....
if your looking for a parallel go with the fur industry or seal clubbing....not deer hunting
not since we covered that trapped deer in water and electrocuted him.The deer hunting argument / comparison is weak. I dont see owners of properties setting up rape stands for more deer reproduction. On the contrary, deer hunting is necessary for population control....
ever hear of a little thing called the "food chain"? We've been eating critters since the start of time Pards. Where have you been?Meat is not needed to survive guy, furthermore hunting/killing deer/duck or whatever for "sport" isn't a "social redeeming quality" either.

Oh, b/c we used painless bullets to kill deer & we only kill them if they wander into our scope range.
Yes, that was meant as sarcasm....
You know why I like to eat carrots? Because they don't cry when you kill them.

Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.
You claimed you weren't a vegan, so I'll clue you into something important. All that meat you eat daily doesn't die of old age somewhere. Talk about an argument that won't fly....the Wright Brothers wouldn't touch yours.**** & dogfighting have been going on forever to guy, sorry that argument won't fly either....

Dude, i'm merely flipping, you guys' *&^% back on ya. You ready? here goes
** People hunt for alot of the same reasons people engage in dog fighting, for sport & entertainment. **
All together now.....
Meat is not needed to survive guy, furthermore hunting/killing deer/duck or whatever for "sport" isn't a "social redeeming quality" either. & if it's just the the food chain at work, I guess you'd be ok with a homeless guy cooking up a black lab on the side of the freeway b/c he needs something to eat right?
Yeah, it's illegal & that's about all anyone can say about it, but don't give me this morals garbage about how watching dogs kill each for sport is any less moral than bringing an unsuspecting deer into your crossaires.
& no i'm not a vegan, which is why i could care less about dogs being killed in dog fights strictly for money & entertainment. I only brought it up b/c of the double standard of society.

Genesis 9:1-4 states:
Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands.

So you eat steaks and chicken right? As Vinny so eloquently pointed out, they didn't die of old age. Shooting a deer with a rifle equatable to two dogs fighting to death....laughable.
Too bad you had to show us who you really are...I must say that it's an ugly snapshot.I don't see what's so laughable,
you guys are the ones acting like there was a reference to dog fighting in the commandments or something....
i can see it now,
& for the 11th commandment god said "thou shall not engage in dog fighting..." LOL.
This is a classic straw man argument. You are trying to justify a felony with legal activity. But it doesn't change the fact that what these guys do to dogs for a blood sport is against federal law.
But on the face of it, just compare the two activities: one is a blood sport that uses cruelty and brutality to perpetuate the participants involvement. The other serves a practical purpose as a food source, and, I should point out, hunters are some of the biggest conservationists around (btw, approx. 90% of Texas Parks and Wildlife budget is paid for with hunting/fishing licenses). Without hunters, the deer population would over-expand and we'd have a lot of starving deer on our hands.
How about we just let the crime stand on it's own without trying to morally equivocate it to something else? You lack any credibility trying to compare the two, and save for a few Vick lovers, nobody sees or agrees with your attempted point.
& for the guy who quoted scripture, should i bring the countless examples of terrorist & religious extremists who kill & do whatever in the name of god, or wait for you to get a little bit better footing?
& no i'm not a vegan, which is why i could care less about dogs being killed in dog fights strictly for money & entertainment. I only brought it up b/c of the double standard of society.

i agree with you 100% for crying out loud, Pac Man's lawyer was just on NFL Live on ESPN saying the exact same thing. Double standard anyone?

Yeah there are some people, who hunt b/c they need the meat & there are farms where chickens are bred exclusively for mass distribution & what not. But how can you justify the guys who hunts just to put those antlers on the wall? you can't man.
So if your going to say a double standard exists between hunting and dog fighting, wouldn't one therefore exsist between dog fighting and animal slaugthering for food?
Contrary to what you may think most hunter's are responsible people, who a) eat or donate what they bring down and b) go way out of there way to reduce the suffering of the animals they bring down. Hunters do not kill if a animal performs poorly in a fight, not do they set-up rape stands...nervermind if you don't get this by now I can't explain in suffeciently enough for you to.![]()

So i take it you think folks like PETA & the like are nut jobs when they protest at slaughter houses & places like that huh?
Come on Vinny, did that really get under your skin that bad? For what it's worth I apologize to all, but come on man, the way you guys are vehemently defending a sport where the end result is the same as that of dog fighting is ridiculous imo.

Vick's gonna get what's coming to him, I promise you all (LOL) but to go on and on and on about how cruel dog fighting is when virtually the same crap is legal for deer,duck,dove or whatever sounds a bit hypocritical.
