"Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was indicted late Tuesday afternoon by a Federal Grand Jury in Richmond, Va., for conspiracy to transport dogs across state lines for the purpose of dog fighting." Not only that but, "Fifty-four animals were recovered from the property during searches in April, along with a "rape stand," used to hold dogs in place for mating;"

Whether Cheney was drunk or not, it that was an accident! Next, its not like Im constantly worrying about the lives about animals, I got better things to do, but I do support the well being of animals so thats that, you stupid f-kwad. You think your some wonderful caring person? YOU THINK YOUR THE ONLY ONE THINKING ABOUT OUR TROOPS? Your a stupid literal SOB that needs to STFU! Who knows what going to happen to Vick, Idk either and as much as I agree with the innocent until proven guilty theory sometimes I swear people *cough vick's a** lickers cough* are just deaf and blind!

No I don't think so, but only because I'd prefer he be killed. I'm not really concerned about the method he dies in, so long as it's slow and painful and several people stand around calling him "Ookie" (the nickname his mother gave him that "no one else can call him" LOL) and others asking him how it feels to "not have a dad who cares about him?" and things of that nature.
Bringing race into this discussion (as an above high school dropout did) is as predictable as it is hilarious. Dick Cheney shot a man ON ACCIDENT so the comparison in this case is absolutely ridiculous. Tony LaRussa made an irresponsible decision but no one was harmed (luckily).
Neither of these instances involved pre meditated, calculated, cold blooded cruelty to other sentient beings. Human should take precedence over the lives of other animals, but Vick clearly does not have the intellect to be considered "human" and therefore should be treated as such.
Vick is both the most dangerous kind of criminal and a scared little boy consumed with a desire to show the world how large his member is because his father saw in him what the rest of us now see- a pathetic shell of a human who is not worth his (or our) time.
What makes he LOL is the fact that this idiot wanted to play Tony Soprano- by organizing his own crime bracket (not significant enough to be called a "syndicate") that he could have all for himself- fulfilling a sort of hilarious mob fantasy.
With this lunacy comes 2 problems-
1) a serious lack of intelligence...crime lords are brilliant, scheming people who are able to run multiple illegal operations at one time with no concern for enemies and when the feds come around they know it's time to close shop and cover their trails...vick has NONE of these traits and even in moments of zen likely has a difficult time spelling...well, difficult. LOL
2) if the feds have been able to get REAL members of the mob and real Hell's Angels (two groups who would make anyone Vick knows urinate on themselves in fear) to testify against their bosses who the HELL thinks they won't be able to get some insecure, wanna be thug little boy to testifiy against THIS little boy?
Even if Vick DOES come back I can't wait to see how he's received- and the PR nightmare that would surround the team who picks him up.
Kill him so the doesn't breed and create more humanoids with so little capacity for learning.

Let me say this. If you have been on suspicious watch by the police for the last 6 months and they now find out that you have been sponsoring and participating in acts of animal abuse and dog fighting, then you should be suspended or take a leave of absence. Not be kicked out. I mean, it is just wrong to put your dog in a ring and risk his life for money, it is just wrong. I mean, Micheal Vick has everything, a nice car, a nice house, a nice fan base in Atlanta, a 130 million dollar contract with the Falcons, and 70 million dollar contract with Nike. Why would you want to participate in Dog Fighting? I don't know, but I believe Vick will be taking a leave of absence.

What if he is found Not Guilty? I know that isn't likely and I don't support him BUT when you go to the point of kicking him out of the league you have to justify that possibility. YOU CAN'T. You DON'T. So not yet. Once he is Convicted he should be given a LIFETIME BAN.
ADD: I can't wait until "sickest DB" grows up and enters the real world. I'm guessing the dude is in High School, because clearly he hasn't had a job yet. You CAN be fired for breaking the law, espically when you have been convicted. NFL Contracts have a MORALS CLAUSE, meaning you have to behave. Heck some States have a clause in your application that you can be fired for NO REASON, and as the employee you have the right to quit without giving a reason.

Yes because I can't stand athletes that think they are above the law. I can't stand Vick. His a QB but plays the HB position and he can't pass worth of sh it and still got a $130 mill contract. So he decides to waste his money to watch aggressive dogs fight and kill the weaker ones for entertainment. Wow people just don't know what to do with their free time. The money he just to buy all the dogs and equipment could have been used for something more positive.

Vick sucks as a player! He's got a very bad character for a pro athlete, being arrogant, unrepentant, and disrespectful of any authority! He doesn't even give the fans credit for supporting him and his Dirty Birds team!
First the drug operation scandals. And now, the animal cruelty allegations... this just keeps getting better and better! I hope Vick gets banned from playing in any pro football league! I hope he gets convicted and he rots in jail and in Hell for what he's done! And as an added bonus, I hope the inmates in the prison where he hopefully will serve his sentence (should he be convicted) beat him up everyday and treat him cruelly for what he's done!
Vick sucks! Ban Vick!

I think that if Roger (the NFL Pres.) is going to be hard on other athelets in the NFL for shooting, but not killing someone...then Vick has got to be at least suspended. If he is in fact found guilty then he should be barred from the NFL. I think the courts will do their thing and if convicted then it won't matter if the NFL bars him or not...he will be in jail. All this to say...innocent until proven guilty!

I think he has played his last pro football game. His brother is a draft pick of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, but the CFL no longer allows players suspended by the NFL to play. He couldn't get a passport if he's convicted in any case. Of all the hobbies to have; all his money, he could have bought a yacht, learned to fly a plane, skied at Aspen-instead he likes dog fighting. You just don't mess with kids or dogs.

As much as i hate michael vick, I say no. Yes, what Vick did was really stupid and very cruel and wrong, however playing football is his job. As far as i know, a boss can't fire you because you get in trouble with the law. I might be wrong on that but I dont think they are aloud to.

Why should he be above the law just because he's a Football star. Many of those guys should be in prison right now. Just like Jamaal and Ray Lewis. Neither of those guys should still be playing.
carolina_boy, you are forgetting one thing...dog fighting is a FELONY!!!! Use some common sense.
