Mike Vick may be going to jail. The latest is that witnesses can identify him being at some matches. This is not going to end well for him.
Nothing will happen to Vick, NOTHING BAD THAT IS. He's rich and privleged.

Someone's saying there's a tape showing Vick at a dog fight ...

The Humane Society of the United States is offering a $2500 reward for evidence that leads to conviction ...

A couple of things come to mind. Kinda spit-balling here, but if the HSUS is going after Vick, they might want to increase their budget. I mean, he can easily beat $2500, and you have to consider who's likely to have such evidence: Other people who are involved in dog fighting. Are we to believe HSUS will just write a check and say "go and sin no more"? Nah, Vick can make that evidence go away by handing over more cash. This prosecutor sounded very skeptical to me.
 
Now then... in light of Goodell's desire to clean up the image of the league, does Vick get a suspension if wrongdoing is discovered?

Is that Bobby Petrino I hear calling the Texans about voiding that trade? Or at least getting David Carr added as a future consideration?

No it is Bobby Petrino calling the athletic director at Louisville to see if his old position has been filled yet......
 
Has it been written anywhere that there were a rash of mutilated pit bulls showing up around Tech when Vick was there playing football? I just cannot bring myself to type "going to school" at Tech.

Pretty sure that would have been documented somewhere.
 
It just gets worse and worse for Mike.
NORFOLK, Va. -- A prosecutor, sheriff and investigators are scheduled to meet Monday to review evidence collected in the weeks since dogs and equipment associated with dog fighting were seized from a home owned by NFL star Michael Vick.

No charges have been filed in the case, but Surry County Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald Poindexter said Wednesday as many as six to 10 people could be involved.

Dog fighting is a felony in Virginia.

"I'm convinced from what I saw that dog fighting has occurred down there, but who was involved in it I don't know at this point," Poindexter said in a telephone interview, noting that he saw what looked like blood spatters in a room over a garage.

"We're going to find out."
 
At this point, I can't help but believe will be suspended at some point via the character clause. I don't see how how would possibly escape it.

If he proves he didn't know what was going on there, he's home free.

SI says he's been caught on tape at the fights. If that's true, then he won't ever be able to prove that.

Oh, no question. However, he could use the defense that he went to the property and saw what was going on and told his relatives to knock it off.
On second thought, that lie won't work either.
I think he's screwed.
Wait, he could use the defense that R.Kelly the singer used, that it wasn't him in the video. Yeah, that may just work.
 
He could use the chewbacca defense:

Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, Chef's attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client wrote "Stinky Britches" ten years ago. And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself! But, ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests."
 
There is a black journalist (missed his name, sorry) from Atlanta on Cold Pizza First Take saying that a lot of black people and others who support Michael Vick will boycott the NFL if he is suspended.

Dude even is wearing a shirt that says "Boycott Everything"

Are we sure SportsBruh isn't from Atlanta?

A lot of black people in Atlanta, or just in general?
Because if he was suspended, I'm sure a lot of Atlanta fans(no matter what skin color) would boycott the falcons.

In Atlanta, it doesn't take much to boycott a Falcons game.

No, I got your point very clearly and you missed my point entirely as well -- which is amazing being as half my response was in blue -- and looked dumb in the process.

You are not the only one who is allowed to be sarcastic around here.
