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."

nice folks!
ick.
aka ookie what about ron mexico did they forget that aka?
Namath used to be a good scrambler. The defenses took care of that, destroying his knees.
Joe was a wonderful passer though and had a brilliant career.
Vick? Without his scrambling he won’t make the grade.
OOPS!! Sorry.....wrong video.....
Could be they already have.
Are there any charges of gambling against Vick?
Remember Pete Rose? Former major league baseball star? Was caught gambling? Lost his bid to enter Hall of Fame? That Pete Rose?

Ookie. Right. That one caught my eye too. Really something to be proud of, huh?!
Apparently some are.

Vick is really scrambling now - in the jail cell trying to keep away from Big Daddy Jimbob.
He is such a moron.
If they’d only ban pitbulls, this poor man wouldn’t be in any trouble.
Everybody laughed at me when I said Drew Brees would be the better NFL QB (the both came out the same year) and this is not the sort of vindication I was seeking. (Brees already proved me right the last two years.) I figured Vick was a classick "coach killer" - former Coach Jim Mora came to the same conclusion on TV last year. Two month later his son, Jim Mora Jr., coach of the falcons, was canned.
Having the power structure come down on you for fighting pitbulls will actually RAISE Vick’s standing among the gangsta-wannabes in the hood.
My prediction: you will see MORE black youths wearing Vick’s jersey in places like South Central, Detroit, D.C., etc. They’re not gonna be able to make ‘em fast enough. And he will be rhapsodized in many a rapper’s verse.
