Vick
Two more buddies to plea bargain.
I think we can all say TOAST. Maybe some jailtime upcoming and Falcons fans... I think you might be without your QB this year. |

Supposedly his lawyers are ready to bargain if it means less than a year in jail.
You get one defendant to talk and then the avalanche begins. Vick had no idea dog fighting was going on at his house. Where the heck did that statement go? It is clear its lots worse than he knew this was occurring if he is agreeing to accept a prison term. Vick was probably one of the main ring leaders. Wonder how many dogs he personally killed... |

No way the government will give him less then a year, I hope they throw the book at him, and take it to a jury. They will fry him

I have resisted commenting on this for quite a while. The thing I really am most interested in knowing his how long they were keeping on eye on the goings on at this house. I know the area fairly well...this place out in Surry is completely in the middle of BFE.
I think there is some stuff going on that isn't being revealed involving the discovery of dogfighting, etc... For what it's worth, Vick used to be a God here in Roanoke, but a great majority of the people have washed their hands of him...and rightfully so. I used to be a huge fan of him, but no longer. |

It has been reported on ESPN that Federal Prosecutors have witnesses that are not even involved with this particular case. A whole slew of them. The Government now has the choke hold on as they might be able to bring even more charges if he does not deal.
If two of the guys have already accepted deals for more than a year (rumor), Vick is going to have to also. He was the $$ in the operation. |

Pat....if Im not mistaken, wasnt the original story that the authorities "stumbled upon" this dogfighting when they went looking for another guy, that was living at the house, for unrelated drug charges? I have a hard time believing that it happened like that. They went to that house, knowing what they were looking for....and that was evidence of dogfighting. |

ESPN radio was reporting that time was running out for vick to accept the plea deal. end of business today.
monday the racketeering charges are to come down. if thats the case vick could be looking at 2-6 years. have you guys read the accounts of the other defendents yet? before the first raid they hung several "under performing" dogs. a couple survived the hanging and were dround in 5 gal buckets of water. there CAN'T be enough bad stuff happen to these guys, including vick!

And apparently thats why he is more willing to deal with the Feds. The Feds might be able to keep the State away from him. If the State gets a hold of him, he is doing 2 years at least if convicted. He is in a very tough situation. He may be willing to go to court if the Feds cant get the State to leave him alone. Maybe his lawyers will try and pull race in and get a big public campaign going. Its worked before. They will trot out all these minor league white trash dog bettors that got probation and say whats the diff? |

While i don't like vick as a person(he is an utter idiot) or a football player(Qb means you throw the ball and someone from your OWN team is supposed to catch it) I really don't see how a lifetime ban is called for here. Look at pacman jones. He's at a place and his entourage gets people shot and paralyzed, but hey he'll be back in a year. Hey its okay if you beat your wife or girlfriend, just serve your time and hey your back in the NFL. I love dogs as much as the next person, but I don't believe the NFL should be banning him for it. Let the NFL teams all pass on him and let him get a real job some where.

Not long back they had people on the streets holding up signs chanting for the law to get off his back, just damn dogs dont ya know. Z can you imagine if there was big grass roots support for him that gets started again... Rev. Sharpton would be happy to enter the fray. But only if the ball gets rolling. |

supposedly, they want a minimum jail sentence of a year, and vick wants NO jail time. he's in la la land with that one. so, at this point, we all know he's guilty, as an innocent man does not consider a plea....question is, length and severity of punishment.
