I hope they make him a prime example of what will happen to you if you are caught dogfighting.

Did it happen? Absolutely, and I hope some people prison for it.

Was it Vick personally, or was it an example of what goes wrong when an entourage of losers meets up with a $20M per year athlete? That, I suppose is to be discovered.

No one forced him to participate. Maybe he was put in one of the "rape stands" against his will like all those pits.

I've got dogs. I'm trying to leave my emotions out. My g/f rescued a pit bull...we are not planning to keep her, but we had her spayed so that she can't be bred. I wasn't crazy about the ideaof rescuing a pit bull but it has turned out all right.

When you're as rich as Vick, and the people around you are from your background but without any discernible talent at much of anything, then bad stuff often happens.

It is possible that Vick bought his cousins a house, put them on an allowance (maybe, what $10K a month, so they'd leave him alone) and was not involved beyond that.

It is also possible that he knew about some of this stuff, and just didn't say anything. Like, for example, I give my brother money every month. He works part time and goes out drinking a lot. If he gets in a bar fight, it's not my fault because I gave him extra money, is it?

Then of course, Vick could be an active participant, and if that's the case, I hope he gets punished harshly.

You can probably guess Bob ain't too happy with any of these ****ers.

If your brother wants to get into a barfight, there is nothing you can do stop it. You can't control what bar he goes to, how much he drinks, who else is at the bar, what they say to provoke him. He is going to drink whether you send him money or not.
Vick owned the house his cousin was staying in. He could have told his cousin to leave, to stop the dogfighting, or stopped sending him an allowance. If you are close enough to someone to give them $10k a month and buy them a house, you are close enough to know what they are doing with your money in your house.

It is called enabling.

Clinton portis reaction (how ever many months ago now) was priceless.

Ron Mexico can rot in hell.

That's all I have to say about that.
