Am I the only one amused by Michael Vick?

He was raping pit bulls? That's hardcore.

Not really. That's what the drug-dealing was for. To get 'em in the mood.
ChadTower:
The funny thing is that no one ever seems to care that this whole thing was discovered by accident when the cops exercised a warrant looking for drugs. One of these guys was arrested for dealing and they were looking for his supply. So not only were they dogfighting they were drugdealing out of this place... but I guess that doesn't matter.
RTSDaddy2:
And now it comes out that Vick's been doing this for some time - allegedly out of his parent's garage, according to the estranged father.....who also asked for 700,000 from his wealthy son.
Now obviously dear old dad is enjoying heaping on. Yet one has to wonder (or I do) - how deep does this go? If dear old Dad stays in that kind of bind, could he have been the one who actually got Vick into dogfighting to begin with (a gambling ring out of the garage)? Is he still doing it? etc.
The NAACP can holler all they want to about stop heaping on poor old Mike Vick....rich old Mike Vick did this to himself, and he is one sick messed up dude.

--- Quote ---Michael Vick's father said he pushed his son to quit dogfighting years ago or, at least, put property used for the fights in the name of friends to avoid being implicated some day.
Michael Boddie, in two sometimes tearful interviews with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution this week, said some time around 2001 his son staged dogfights in the garage of the family's home in Newport News, Va. Boddie also said Vick kept fighting dogs in the family's back yard, including injured ones – “bit up, chewed up, exhausted” – that the father nursed back to health.
Boddie, who is estranged from his son, dismissed the idea that Vick's longtime friends were the main instigators of the dogfighting operation.
“I wish people would stop sugarcoating it,” Boddie said. “This is Mike's thing. And he knows it.”
He “likes it, and he has the capital to have a set-up like that.”
An attorney for Vick did not return requests for comment. Neither did Vick's mother, Brenda Vick Boddie, who hasn't lived with her husband for the past five years.
Boddie said he and the Atlanta Falcons quarterback have had a volatile relationship for years and that his son has refused to speak with him directly for the past two and a half months. Boddie said he is speaking out because he's been hurt by his son and wife's failure over the years to correct what he considers inaccurate media reports that Vick grew up without his father present.
“I've been drug through the mud,” Boddie said.
He said he intends to write a damaging book about more of what he knows.
Boddie, 45, lives in a Duluth, Ga., apartment that his son has paid the rent on for the past three years. Vick, who has a $130 million contract with the Falcons, also gives him a few hundred dollars every week or two, the father said.
Boddie wanted more. Two years ago, he said, he asked Vick for $1 million, spread out over 12 years, enough to keep him comfortable for the rest of his life. Vick declined, the father said. In recent weeks, Boddie asked Vick, through an assistant, for $700,000 to live on.

Boy with a role model like that, it's no wonder the Vick brothers have turned out so well... ::)
