Vick should keep his butt-hole tight

Someone pour out some of their 40 at Michael Vick Hall in the VT football complex (it has a portrait AND a Michael Vick flag) as Michael Vick pled guilty to the dogfighting charges this afternoon and should be in jail by the end of the week if the judge signs off on the plea deal. No word on the amount of jail time as of yet, but it is rumored to be around a year in the grey bar hotel. As this closes the federal chapter of the legal proceedings the state chapter has finally been reopened by Attorney General Gerald Poindexter with a grand jury to convene on September 25th for prosecution of Vick and his associates for breaking Virginia laws. Poindexter's tune has changed from a guy that didn't see any evidence and thought the feds shouldn't be involved.

What is foreign to me is the federal government getting into a dogfighting case. I know it's been done, but what's driving this? Is it this boy's celebrity? Would they have done this if it wasn't Michael Vick?


Which is a far cry from his outlook now. "The execution of these animals —- and the manner in which they were executed —- is startlingly offensive and demanding of prosecution."

Maybe these two can share a room with a camel for a few days. And even if that doesn't happen the final straw that broke the camel's back may have finally hit for Vick this weekend. After a final weekend of kicking babies and slamming dogs before heading off, teary-eyed to jail Vick was pulled over and cited for not wearing his seat belt. $50 fine man, $50. Think about that everyone that had a Michael Vick jersey.
