Michael Vick makes a plea deal
« on: August 14, 2007, 02:00:11 PM »
The Atlanta Constitution is reporting that Michael Vick is in negotiations to accept  a plea deal with federal prosecuters concerning the charges of running an interstate dog fighting ring.  He is apparently doing this to prevent further "superceding" charges that will be brought next week from the help of his other three co-defendants.

What do you all think of this?

Personally, I hope the NFL bans his arse and he gets some jail time and a mega fine.  He had the world by the balls and through it away to be a gangsta stunninghunk.  Imbecile...

I would like to see the NFL ban him too if he plea's or is found guilty... They should take a page from NASCAR's rules/enforcement book and clean up the league.

Yep.  I know your feelings on "personal property" and what-not Storch... but I happen to disagree with you on this point (animal fighting).  And like it or not bud, what he did is against the law... he knew it, and did it anyway.  

Besides that, the gambling/racketeering aspect of the charges tend to be frowned upon by people in professional sports - and probably ought to be enough to kick him form the league.

But like I said... lets see if he's found guilty/plea's - until then a discussion on what should happen to him is pretty much moot I guess.

Eagler, the shallowness of your character contrasts nicely with the depths of your ignorance.  The south lost, get over it.

"Boy" indeed.

I'm curious, what is wrong with "you can take the boy out of the hood but you can't always take the hood out of the boy"

"Boy" is a common pejorative used to talk down to people who are black.  Considering Eagler's posting history, it's hardly a wild departure for him.

I know that.  I also know that he reworded a common saying thats been around for awhile
"You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy."
 or
You can put a tuxedo on a pig but it's still going to look for a mudhole

so you assume because he used the word "boy" he was making a derogetory remark about Vick?

Because dog fighting is AGAINST THE LAW. The LAW applies to everyone, NFL thugs included.

Animal cruelty is animal cruelty, period.  I am all about personal rights, but this crosses the line.

And, whoever said he wanted to play gangsta?  You got it right.  Freaking moron could have been a role model for young kids, instead slamming a dog to the ground to kill it was his high....

He already has too much money to hurt, so I hope he does some time and loses his job with the NFL.
