you could be right. We should probably check but it`s more fun to aimlessly speculate.
For some reason I thought this out to be a call for my services
Vick fecked up on so many levels, but the problem that surfaces is how he's been made an example rather than actually serving 2 lawful years:
Vick was identified in 2007 as the head hauncho of an extensive unlawful interstate dogfighting ring operating over a period of five years (Which involved the deaths and slaughtering of dogs, and illegal gambling at a state level)... this lead to massive negative publicity and separate federal and state felony charges and convictions under plea agreements, as well as payment of approximately $1 million for care and rehabilitation of some of the dogs.
He has been suspended from play by the NFL since August 2007 and will be hard-pressed for re-instatement any time soon. In December 2007, he was sentenced to serve a 23 month federal prison term and an additional 3 years of prison time in Virginia on other charges (Which was suspended upon condition of good behavior... if Vick ever fecks up again, these charges than spark). With loss of his substantial NFL and product endorsement income, Vick filed for Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy protection in July 2008, with liabilities of $20.5 million and assets of $16 million. His bankruptcy case has yet to be resolved and probably will never be.
The case in its official resolve as of now:
Michael Dwayne Vick
Tony Taylor
Purnell Anthony Peace
Quanis Lavell Philips
Oscar Allen
Alias(es):
Vick: Ookie and Ron Mexico
Taylor: T
Peace: P-Funk and Funk

State: Unlawfully torturing and killing dogs, promoting dogfights
Penalty:
Vick: 23 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of probation
Taylor: 2 months in prison
Peace: 18 months in prison
Philips: 21 months in prison
Allen: 3 years probation, $500 USD fine
Peace, Phillips, and Taylor: 3 years federal probation following release, state trials still pending
Status:
Vick: Home confinement/probation for federal charge; State charge: Vick pled guilty.
Allen: On probation.
Others: Federal sentences have expired, awaiting state trial.
I forgot about Ron Mexico.
I had a jersey !!!
No lie, when it happened I was one of the hundreds to order a Mexico 7 jersey
I am calling bullshit on that kid
Picture will be posted tommorow my friend.
While we're ta it, you can see my steve Bartowski, Chris Chandler, Jesse Tuggle, Jamal Anderson, Alge Crumpler, and Brian Finneran jerseys
Never owned a "Vick" jersey in my life.
Did you have a PrimeTime jersey or was he before your time.
Dad has one, not me though.
Only other jersey I have that's non-falcons is a *gulp* Rex Grossman jersey
I hav a Julius Peppers UNC one though, my favorite one.
Grossman feck me that was a poor choice.
That is feckin brilliant.
I don't know. That might actually be worth something. I'm looking forward to that picture.Ah. Jamal Anderson. I don't think there's a celebration that has since been able to match The Dirty Bird in sheer awesomeness.
Yeah was their best player over the past ..forever. He was blinded by the greatness of TD but JA was fecking top class for a few year which means it all for the Falcons
Alright, can't find the picture folks, sorry 
When I head up to Ontario this summer i'll get the jersey and take another picture with it.
As for some sad news:
A tragic story

lol you think Michael Vick is bad, take a look at his brother Marcus. As my mum would say, he's a bad apple

I remember when he entered the NFL draft there were Falcons fans wanting him in our system to learn from his brother.
We don't have the wisest of fanbases, looking past our very strong loyalty.
Oh he learned from his brother alright. It just had nothing to do with football
Guys, if anyone is interested in an Xbox 360 online Madden league, check out the entertainment forum.
The new Madden isnt out yet
Rest in peace to the legendary Steve McNair
I wouldn't call him a legend, but regardless RIP to he and his gf
feckery eh? 20 year old affair, she may have been the killer... a shame.
As for legendary... legendary heart, determination, will to win, and a mainstay in the community of Memphis... on a first hand account he's one of the most humble athletes you'll ever meet.
Hell he was good for the Oilers too. Can't believe he went back that far. I pretty much grew up with the guy. Loved watching him play.
Never played while in Houston - rode the bench for two years. Think he might have played one game in two years.
Tragic event but hopefully this will wake up other pro athletes cheating on their spouses to the reality of these young birds that get starstruck. I imagine the DUI thing brought/would bring heat from his wife and others and he was probably telling her it was over, she then wents nuts. Then two people are dead as a result.

I was referring to the two seasons he played as a Tennessee Oiler before they changed the name.
Anyone else see the Pacman Jones strip club video; haha Jermaine Dupree was hilarious
"I'm Jermain Dupree, You all are here to dance, dont bend over to get the money until I tell you to get off stage, keep fecking dancing."

Mcnair was one of my favorite Qbs. Don't think there was a time when he didn't play with some sort of injury. Was part of a very good titans offense at the time. Sad and untimely.
Crazy story about Roethlisberger and ESPN not reporting on it. It seems like a pretty crazy and made up story but who knows.
I've seen it on the bottom line ticker but not much else. Strange that it's strictly a civil suit and not a criminal one.
Yeah it is a little weird, a bunch of blogs are wondering why ESPN never reported it. They look dumb in my opinion unless they take the same stance on everything from here on out.
I also think its a lie, but that is only because the girl is not that attractive. Don't get me wrong, but I think Big Ben can get pretty much who ever he wants and he has a smokin hot GF
Jveezy just out of curiosity who do you support? I think it is maybe the Raiders but I forget
Kobe Pt.2
49ers. I detest the Raiders with a passion, although I may feel forever indebted to them for handing us Michael Crabtree on a platter depending on how things work out.
Its going to be real yardstick over the next few years isnt it, Crabtree vs Heyward Bey.
I am a big fan of Crabtree when he is on the field, I hear he is sort of a douche off the field.
I never say Bey play in college, but I hear in camps he has not looked that great.
Absolutely.
And there's no guarantee that we'll come out with the better end of that in a few years, but if it were my money, I'dtake the guy with better hands over the guy with the best 40 time every single time.
Crabtree is rumored to be some sort of diva but as long as Mike Singletary is the head coach, there will be none of that on the practice field, playing field, or locker room.
I'm a big Singletary fan from when he was with the Bears so I hope he succeeds. I always thought he would end up coaching the Bears at some point, maybe he still will. He is a born leader that is for sure
Your not al davis then?
All credit to the man for being a pioneer and all that good stuff but he seriously needs to hire a GM.
he seriously needs to expire
