During an April raid of Vick's property in Virginia, authorities seized 66 dogs and equipment commonly used in dog fighting.
The indictment handed down Tuesday against Falcons quarterback Michael Vick and three others describes in detail how they procured a property in Virginia for the purpose of staging dogfights, bought dogs and then fought them there, and in several other states, over a 6-year period. With at least three cooperating witnesses providing the details, federal authorities compiled a detailed case that traces the birth and rise of Bad Newz Kennels.
But not a single line in the 18-page indictment will generate more rage toward Vick and the others charged -- Purnell A. Peace, Quanis L. Phillips and Tony Taylor -- than a sentence near the end. It reads: "In or about April of 2007, Peace, Phillips and Vick executed approximately eight dogs that did not perform well in 'testing' sessions at 1915 Moonlight Road by various methods, including hanging, drowning and slamming at least one dog's body to the ground."

Scum like him should be hog tied and placed in the ring and let the dogs have at him.
How long before they lawyer plays the Race Card?...........
“How long before they lawyer plays the Race Card?...........”
Why? were the dog’s black??
Also, the city of Atlanta is pretty much split on racial lines. If Arthur Blank (Falcon's owner) suspends Vick they will have a whole lot of empty seats this year. And if they don't probably the same.
Soon. The Vick criminal family has yet again embarrassed my home state.
Yep, The Dirty Birds are in a no-win situation. If I were their owner, I’d say Mr. Vick is innocent until proven guilty, and then I’d ask the new NFL commissioner for a recommendation on how to discipline Vick.
All the ones I saw in the videos were........
Gives more credibility to the nickname “National Felons League”.
This money was chump change to what he was getting from an honest career.
And where are the PETA people when you need them?
Black on black crime????
Who knew Marcus Vick was the honest one?
It's a flip comment for now, but before its all over they will have volumes to say
Is there a Cesar Milan for NFL players? A football whisperer?
Why is anyone shocked by any of this?
NFL has been nothing more than overpaid thugs for a long time.
Personally I’d be shocked if there aren’t more folks in the sport engaging in this and other similar activities.
Take the punk out of the ghetto, but can’t take the ghetto out of the punk.
But they'll be different seats, and I know which ones I'd rather empty.
If I had NFL quarterback money, I’d be playing with my Ferrari, Ford GT40, Corvette and Porsche.
And rebuilding some 60’s and 70’s muscle cars.
Are you my twin? That’s exactly the “stable” of cars I would want!
