Definitely not good for him.

Getting suspended should be the least of his worries. He'll be in ****ing jail.

He's a football player... only 1% of all guilty pro players go to jail it seems... it sucks, and as long as it's confirmed he's guilty, I want his ass there too, but it's the way these pot-smoking celebrities get treated... someone's always there to get on someone's meat and before you know it, Vick will end up looking like some sort of hero somehow...

im to lazy to read the article but from looks of it hes going to be suspend or sentenced to jail huh?.....

Did anyone see that OTL thing? Apparently some robot fought Vick's dog back in 2000. The only thing I can do is shake my head and go hmmmmm.....

I love fighting robots.

I saw the ESPN interview with the 'robot' on Sportscenter last night and it sent chills down my spine. The guys modified voice was creepy and they kept showing scenes of pitbulls biting the shit out of eachother. As a dog owner, seein this stuff makes me sick and now i cant look at Mike Vick the same way i did before all this crap came up- convicted or not.

It makes me sad because, as someone who has 2 dogs (both golden's), I had no idea until a few years back that some of the guys who run dog fights just go around looking for strays and dogs left outside all day and basically use them as punching bags for their pitbulls. Its awful to make these dogs fight each other in the first place, but to basically kill a bunch of innocent dogs for practice?

Michael Vick can go rot in hell.

Im still deciding the best way to harrass him at the falcons/panthers game if he isnt behind bars. Seems like a good time for a bring your dog to the stadium day. And then throw bags of dog **** at him. Halftime entertainment could include a dummy Ron Mexico in the middle of the field and you let pitbulls rip its head off (better yet, the real Mexico)

[detroitbasketball]

I doubt he gets charged...not right now, anyway. One anonymous guy on ESPN with a modified robotic voice isn't gonna make the prosecution jump.

[JackTheRipper]

Frankly, I don't think it matters anyways. Unless he traffics drugs or kills a guy, he won't ever be seriously in danger of jailtime because of who he is.

This thug is ******* done. You don't get indicted by the feds unless they KNOW they'll get a conviction.

Don't drop the soap. Actually, I hope he does.

[USN]

not surprised when I saw this this afternoon... I remember when they were reporting it was likely that charges would be dropped ...but w/e from a football standpoint ATL is wishing they had Schaub still

Go away, Ron Mexico.

But in reading the indictments, it isn't as if Vick's name is simply sprinkled into the federal documents. The pages are actually rife with references to the Atlanta star.

In late May, two federal law enforcement officials told ESPN.com they felt there was sufficient evidence to eventually indict Vick, but were less certain of mounting successful prosecution. There is a reason, however, that the Feds own a conviction rate of better than 95 percent. The government typically doesn't indict unless it knows it can probably convict, and that should be unsettling news for the Falcons and their quarterback.

hi guys...yes im back just to tell u guys that i no longer am i fan of michael vick after these allegation which only seem to get truer......i am STILL a fan of the falcons but no longer support michael vick for his bonehead decisions.....as for the falcons i am prayin that vick is suspended for the season and arthur blank does what is right and cut ties with vick, and sort of head into a new direction. looks like joey harrington is goin to be under center for us next year unless shockley impresses petrino during training camp and preseason, but i wouldnt mind if we go and approach the now unemployed culpepper.

[Just Blaze]

Mike Vick deserves a suspension now. Pacman was suspended for the shit he did and he was never found guilty. If Vick isnt found guilty, he deserves to be suspended because he has given not only the Falcons but the NFL a big black eye.
His associates can cover his ass all that but Vick cant lie about not knowing the operation was going on when, behind his crib, are buildings, cages, and over 50 dogs in a forested area.

Man, it seems more NFL players are getting caught by the law than NBA players.

[USN]

Vick, unlike Pacman, is not a second time offender... the Goodell rules say that you have to be a second time offender before a suspension

[Freak93]

If he has a federal indictment on his shoulder, I hope that Goodell lays does the hammer. What if a guy who has a 9-5 job gets a federal indictment? We lose our job. Just saying...

I don't think he'll be able to play from his cell, so it won't matter.

And with the first pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select Brian Brohm.

Oh man, I love it already!
