Michael Vick - Let’s make a deal!
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Michael Vick pondering his future
So far what is behind door number 1 and 2 have cut deals with the prosecution. The big question is whether Michael Vick will cut a deal?

Everyone is cutting deals, it seems.
Last month, another original co-defendant, Tony Taylor, pleaded guilty to his role in a dogfighting conspiracy he says was financed almost entirely by the Atlanta Falcons quarterback.
But what about Michael?
Collins R. Spencer III, a spokesman for Vick’s defense team, said the lawyers were surprised by the plea deals. He said although they assumed the two agreed to cooperate with prosecutors, it would not affect the way Vick’s lawyers proceed.
“We’re moving forward with taking the case to trial on Nov. 26,” he said.
Vick has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and conspiring to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner has yet to name his suspension.
The NFL has yet to complete its investigation of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who has been charged with operating a dogfighting ring on his Virginia property.
Eric Holder, a former deputy attorney general retained by the league, is still gathering facts on Vick’s alleged involvement in dogfighting, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday.
“The commissioner has not made any decision,” Aiello said.Commissioner Roger Goodell last month barred Vick from reporting to training camp and he can also use the NFL’s personal conduct policy to suspend him for the 2007 season. A jury trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 26. source
When the public is polled about Michael’s treatment, they had this to say.
Thirty-six percent of those familiar with the dogfighting allegations against Vick, the Atlanta Falcons’ star quarterback, said he was being treated better than an average person. Only 9 percent said Vick was being treated worse than an average person. The plurality, 44 percent, said Vick was being handled the same as anyone else. source
All the Squibster can say is it is time to forget about Vick and start the season!

Not every person who abuses an animal grows up to be a serial killer, however, the reverse is true — almost every serial killer started out with animals.” look at Richard Leonard Kuklinski for example

THIS GUY HAD IT ALL…dog fighting is pure and simply victimization..these animals did nt have a choice. This type of preying on innocent is the WORST type of human behavior… and I say make this sorry excuse for a human an example…or let’s just keep @#!@#@ the earth and it’s inhabitants and see how quick our arrogance destroys us.
