All Encompassing Vick Thread

Vick's "buddy" "T" only got 2 (TWO) months for being the first to roll over and for giving up "Ookie"...

The US Attorneys handling the case urged PROBATION, but the judge nixed that...

Still 2 months is a sweet deal..
 
This is why no one takes them serious. For the most part they got what they wanted, The guy was convicted, is now serving his time & likely will serve more pending state charges & his career is likely over, why are they still trying to drag this guy through the mud? Between them & ESPN You would think this was the Scopes Monkey Trial with the way they keep trying to drag this on.
 
In principle PETA MEANS WELL but damn. Hey PETA. You guys won. Vick did something stupid, was called on it, has lost his lucrative career, his fortune and has traded his fame for infamy. You won.
Quit spiking the ball. To the ARCH conservatives here, I would like to point out that simply being a Democrat doesn't AUTOMATICALLY make someone a liberal. If this is PETA's idea of winning gracefully and they feel a need to force their ideas down our throats rather than simply presenting to us and letting us decide for ourselves then I have a favor to beg of you.
PLEASE don't lump me and other Democrats in here with these tofu eating, granola munching, pot smoking, fur is murder holier than thou types.

This ain't science or Jay Leno dropping a pot shot here & there TB, this is a joke of an organization going out of their way to milk a dry cow. Ditto for the other people that are up there as well.

I hear ya Tex, and so I will NEVER go out of my way to show any props towards PETA (beleive me, I like steak, pork, fish, etc. way too much).. The real point was more about the ridicule that Mr. Vick brought upon himself.

Actually, some folks do take them seriously. Which is how PETA is able to pressure Fortune 500 companies and the government to adopt certain practices and cease others.

I'm far from a PETA suppoter (I'm too much of a leather-wearing carnivore), but when they picket a cause, they tend to get peoples' ear. WE don't take them seriously, but that doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way.

I could care less about their little snow-globe. It's silly and pointless, but too each his own and all that jazz.
 
Judge: Vick can keep some of $20-million bonus

Decision overturns earlier ruling that allowed Falcons to get money back

Imprisoned Falcons quarterback will not have to repay the full $20 million in bonus money the team sought to recover, according to a ruling Monday by U.S. District Judge David Doty.

Doty's decision overturned a previous ruling by an arbitrator, who said Vick had to repay $20 million in bonuses to the team because he could not earn them in light of his suspension by the league and his imprisonment on a federal dogfighting charge.

It is unclear if Vick has to repay any of the $20 million. Vick could be responsible for the repayment of a portion of signing bonus money, per the NFL's collective bargaining agreement. However, he would be able to retain any other bonus money.

The Falcons had no comment Monday morning as to whether they would pursue the case any further.

The team sought to recover Vick's bonus money because it could gain relief under the salary cap should he repay the team any of the court-ordered sum. Atlanta would be granted a credit for the amount of money received a year after Vick turned over the money.

If Vick doesn't have to repay any of the money, the Falcons not only are left with no relief from the $37 million in bonus money they've already paid the former star, but they will also be charged more than $15 million against the salary cap over the next two years because of those bonuses.

It's The Longest Yard come to life.

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2008/04/06/michael-vick-playing-prison-football/

In a report that sounds like the set-up to a Longest Yard joke but is apparently completely serious, Gary Myers of the New York Daily News writes that Michael Vick is playing football in prison.

Vick, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback who pleaded guilty to felony charges related to his Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting ring, is in a minimum security satellite prison camp at the United States Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas. And Myers reports that Falcons owner Arthur Blank has received letters from Vick that detail his prison football games:

I think this is a great move by Vick. He is paying his debt to society and I can pretty much guarantee he will never be involved in dog fighting again, so I will give the guy credit for trying to keep the dream alive. Its gonna be a herculean task but I think its doable. I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in the league with someone.

Hopefully he has learned from his mistakes and can be a positive contributor to society, perhaps even an example of someone who fell so fast but managed to get back on his feet and turn his life around.
 
The Cowboys will sign him in 2009. Then they'll give T.O. a contract extension. Then they'll trade for Chad Johnson and Pacman Jones. And the final piece of the puzzle will be taking on Chris Henry. And by 2010 they should have the prison league football title just about wrapped up.

Vick is a turd. There's no way in the world to spin that any different. Going into the pen he is and has been a talented "turd".

That being said if he does his time, straightens out his life, and learns from his mistakes then I think he must be given a chance to move on and "be" a reformed citizen and yes, NFL player if he still has enough skills to do so and can conduct himself in an acceptable manner.

They reported last night that the prison said he was not playing football. They insisted that he was incarcerated after the organization started.

That's too bad. I was really hoping he worked on his passing game; accuracy, touch. You know, all those things a quarterback is supposed to have...

Well he'll be out soon enough. When he does get out - I am putting the over/ under at 6 months before we either hear about a probation violation, being arrested for something else - or both.

:jail:

We ALL will see him when he gets out. Unfortunately it won't be for long, 'cause he is too stupid to stay out...

**********************************************

I hope the next time he gives a girl STD's they charge him with assault. I hope the next time he decides its okay to smoke a joint, they revoke his parole / probation (whatever the terms of his release are). I hope the next time he flips the bird to some people he is brought up on obscenity charges because there were children around. I hope the next time he tries to sneak something through the airport, the authorities hold him under the Patriot Act. I hope the next time he even looks cross-eyed at animals, he is tazed. I hope the next time on loans he, well nevermind, banks won't lend him a cent. I hope the next time he spits on the sidewalk, he is cited.........

Vick files for bankruptcy protection

Attorney says imprisoned Falcons QB is in a "precarious financial position"

By D. ORLANDO LEDBETTER, STEVE WYCHE
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Just seven months after Michael Vick was sentenced to federal prison, the fallen Falcons quarterback found himself in a "precarious financial position" and filed for bankruptcy protection. One of his creditors is the Falcons.

In Chapter 11 documents filed in federal court in Virginia on Monday, Vick cites debts of between $10-50 million dollars. He also cites assets in the same range. (link above)

I wonder where it all went?
