Michael Vick, the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback who has spent the past several years in jail for his part in a dog fighting ring was released Monday from jail. So how did he spend his first week? Well, he didn't go to any pet stores or breeders. Can I just say that what he did to those dogs was some of the most outrageous cruelty I have ever seen. It makes me sick to think about it. OK, back to the post. Vick who really wants to play in the NFL again is supposed to be taking this week to do good things and show the world he has changed and can make good decisions. There is no guarantee he will ever be allowed to play in the NFL again, and if Monday night is an indication of that decision making he will be spending a whole lot of years doing nothing.
Just 12 hours after he got out of custody, Vick was spotted in a Virginia Beach strip club with NBA player Allen Iverson and Allen's wife. Apparently they wanted to show Vick a good time and so the best place to take him would be a strip club. Hey, strip clubs are legal and I realize he was in custody for a very long time. But, the fact is that he wants to play in the NFL again and I guess he thinks it is going to be some automatic thing because I can't imagine that he thinks it is a good idea to go spend time at a strip club when he is trying to get some of his reputation back.
He is an idiot. Go home and watch porn. Stare at women in the mall. I don't care if it is legal or not to go to a strip club. All it shows is that he doesn't care about his reputation and that he doesn't care about anything but himself. I predict that within a few years he will be back in jail for something. I don't think it will be dog fighting, but it will be something. When someone makes that bad of a decision a few hours after they get out of custody, it can only go downhill.
Isn't he on parole?? Should he even be at a bar? As for wanting to be in the NFL again, he needs the money BADLY, so he is praying they allow him back in.
ReplyDeleteWell, considering the strip clubs in Virginia Beach the strippers wear bathings suits...it could be worse. They can't even wear g-strings or pasties...it has to completely cover ass and boobs. Might as well go to the oceanfront for free instead.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is no good. That being said, I don't see the big deal with the strip club. I do agree he'll be back in trouble soon. What are the arrangements regarding his release?
ReplyDeleteThere are no words for how much I despise this man.
ReplyDeleteActually Enty the guy was released from jail two months ago and was on house arrest until this week. He has basically been keeping a low profile which is a very good thing. Strip clubs are fun and haven't ever hurt anybody. Besides after being someone elses BITCH in jail for the past few years I am sure he was ready to see some REAL women.
ReplyDeleteRocket Queen I'm with you.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see done to him what he did to his female dogs. He pulled all their teeth with pliers with no medication and tied them to a "rape stand" so they could be forcibly bred.
He is the lowest form of scum there is.

ReplyDeleteRocket Queen, you're right. I run out of words for this creature.
He's gonna violate his probation with substance abuse before he can get on board with another NFL team.
ReplyDeleteYou just watch.
I live within 1.5 hours of VaBch, and it's a frickin' DUMP of a cesspool and the strip clubs got nothing but disgusting used-up slag whores.
I'm sorry but I don't get what is wrong with him going to a strip club.
ReplyDeleteHe did his time....let him do what ever he wants to do as long it is legal.
What's wrong with strip clubs, anyway?
amazonblue, he pulled the teeth out with pliers? Where did you get this info.? I'm aware of the dog fighting charges but I've never heard about this additional extreme torture.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the problem with a strip club, either. I've never enjoyed it, but some people do. It's not classy, but I don't think anyone expects anything cultured about Vick.
ReplyDeleteNow I want someone to pull his teeth with pliers! He should have done more time.
ReplyDelete...Which is all this scumbag deserves, anyway.
ReplyDeleteHe and his idiot criminal brother make me cringe. All that talent connected to two complete wastes of human being.
But that whole area of Tidewater/Hampton Roads/Peninsula, VA has churned out some SERIOUSLY talented athletes, thankfully they're not all this bad.
Many are superb, outstanding people.
Never mind msanthropolist posted the link. Thanks, for the article but this is just utterly horrific.

ReplyDeleteLady J I totally agree with everything you said with the exception of the last part. As much as I wish he had been someone's bitch in jail the unfortunate truth is that a lot of the dudes in there probably worship him as a "celebrity."
ReplyDeleteAlso Enty. I hate to break it to you but the NFL is FULL of criminals - I really don't think the NFL cares that much about reputation. Not saying he will get back in but going to a strip club is not going to damage his chances that much.
selenakyle good grief. I also live very close to the beach…I am ashamed to say Vick is from my home town. I agree that the strip is trashy but the entire city of VA Beach is not a dump! There are some very very nice neighborhoods there…like almost every other city in America you just have to know the parts to stay away from.
Nothing wrong with strip clubs, per se, but if you were very much trying to get back in some good graces with the NFL Commish you might rather be seen and reported taking your Mama to church and visiting sick kids at the CHKD instead of hanging with ultimate bad boy Iverson at a strip joint.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin'.
Like I said, he'll get popped with weed in his system before he gets the chance to play again. I know it.
Yes, I meant the strip, ALice D.M. Sorry--should have been clearer. My short time in the 90's living in VB near the oceanfront sucked but I know there are nice parts, just like everywhere :)
ReplyDeleteMan, this is a touchy subject for me, can y'all tell?!
ReplyDeleteThe NFL is definitely full of dog fighters. Lots of men of all walks of life think there is absolutely nothing wrong with dogfighting AT ALL, and many think Vick got a bum rap.
When someone thinks so little of human life, they typically think that much LESS of animals' lives, and they get off on treating the dogs horridly inhumanely to "get back" at how their own parents, peers and communities treated them themselves.
Just my opinion.
Like when Vick really, truly acted like he had NEVER thought about an animal feeling pain or suffering out in the cold or whatever.
SICK F*CKERS. I wish his ass got reamed to bloody hell in the joint but you're right--he was treated like a king up in there.
And I will laugh in his face when he gets popped again and does real time and loses it all.
there may be nothing "wrong" w/ strip clubs, but it's a bad pr move.
ReplyDeleteidiot.
he'll be back in the slammer in no time....his pattern of one bad decision after another will get him there in no time.
In the same week that Ben was accused of rape without so much as a scowl from the NFL, a strip club is small potatoes.
ReplyDeleteyeaa...i don't see anything wrong with this. honestly, if any man gets out of prison the first i expect they want is some kind of ass. i think it's only wrong if the man went in for some type of sexual offense.
ReplyDeletethree years without the hint of sex? i'd go nuts!
but i agree, this guy will be in jail within the next few years. he is an typical to his culture.
I wish stip clubs were the only places my clients went when they got out of prison!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd rather guys stare at strippers rather than creeping out random women at the mall.
I am really offended by the picture. What kind of class act is this creep? He can't go back to jail soon enough for me. I HATE animal cruelty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste of talent
ReplyDeleteHe'll be back in jail for sure. My guess is it'll be guns or drugs, or both. The man is a bum. Unfortunately, I also believe that someone in the NFL is going to give him another chance. A fool and his money are soon parted.
ReplyDeleteI can't give much and ask for so little; but please, no more posts of this vile piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteNothing upsets me more than animal cruelty.
ReplyDeleteSo here's my hope: Michael Vick, I hope that one of your criminal buddies shoots you in the neck leaving you a quadraplegic. Not dead, no, that's too easy. Unable to move a muscle below your chin.
And for all other dogfighters out there, may your dogs turn on you and rip you to shreds.
I'm not usually like that, but in this case, yeah, seriously.
Sad part is, the NFL will take him back bec. he was a good QB. The media forgives so easily.
ReplyDeleteScorpion to frog: "I'm a scorpion; it's my nature."
ReplyDeleteWhy so surprised?
Its the new trend for the 21st century...
ReplyDeleteSame attitude as Chris Rihanna-beating Brown. They actually believe they are entitled. And when Rihanna goes right back into the arms that beat her and Brown attends Diddy's party with Demi and Ashton, famous Hollywood parents, they are passing the message on to their teenage daughters and a million peeps following them on twitter and the world. The tide turned with the century. Look at Pam Anderson. Paris Hilton... sex tapes, pics with cocaine and smoking pot while driving, law suits, and she still thinks she is entitled cuz people like the judge in her court trial last week fed her entitled ego and treated her like royalty. I just wish people would stop supporting these scum bags. urgh
I now hate Whoopie Goldberg because she stated on the View that dog fighting was part of "their" culture. Way to set back Blacks in this country 200 years. I have a special hatred for people who hurt and torture animals, and a man who does it for pleasure is psychopathic. NFL will let down their sport if he ever walks on a field again.
ReplyDeleteThere isn't a fate too horrible for Vick, he's a POS who deserved to be behind bars for years for what he did. I wish Whoopie had been there with him.
I could care less he went to a strip club. The fact he seemed to still have a cocky-shit attitude drives me bat-shit crazy. I would love to see him pulled to shreds by a pack of wild rabid dogs. I would then feel sorry for the dogs that he was their last meal but he would end up what he is now -- a sorry shit. I LOATHE animal abuse.
ReplyDeletesexecution....
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean...way to set blacks by 200 years.
Are you saying you are taking the opinion of one black person to suddenly think that now all of them are slaves and 3/4ths of a person.
Cut the bullshit.
figgy....
I don't get how you can say that nothing upsets you more than animal cruelty. Yet, here you go wishing violence on another human being that you personally don't know and someone who has already served their time....
okay....just be a hypocrite.
Why are most people here saying that he might go back to jail for drugs .....
is it known that he is a drug addict or dealer....
what is it about him that makes some of you think he is going to go back for drugs....
I heard a radio interview the other day with a former NFL commissioner, and he said that, before allowing a player to be reinstated, his actions after he's freed from jail or house arrest IS considered as a deciding factor. Public opinion and potential public backlash with a decision is also brought into the equation.
ReplyDeleteHowever, there is also another view that once a jail or house arrest sentence is over, the repayment to society has been satisfied.
The interviewee had no clue how the current NFL commissioner will rule, but evidently it isn't as easy a decision process as generally thought.
That being said, I'm against Vick being able to play major league football EVER again.
Why wasn't a stripper hired for a private party?! What the hell is wrong with people?! He's a piece of shite.

=============
He wasn't so weak when he was using the rape stand. I hope he got a little bending over himself while he was in prison.
Um .. Vick WAS NOT in jail for the past several years. All totaled he was in custody one year and about six months - before trial, after and at home.
ReplyDeleteIf we did what he did .. well none of us would .. but we would be butt monkey's for Bubba for a lot more time than Vick was. He was in for a fraction of the time he should have been in for.
I heard on ESPN yesterday that no teams are willing to admit to wanting him right now, because there is too much time between now and the start of the season for the animal rights people to protest outside whichever team takes him. Also, the chances of him being any good after almost 2 years away from the conditioning and workouts done by players daily means he might not be finding work as a QB.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with all of you on the beating, mutilation, torturing and killing of dogs. But how many of you that are so outraged by this still eat meat? I've seen footage of "processing lines" that makes Vick's dogs look like pampered pooches.
@Vanessa: those of us who live very near his hometown--and had to read every day in our local papers and on our local TV news about all the gory details when the entire thing unfolded--know many of the deets about Vick's story.
ReplyDeleteHe DID get in trouble twice near the DF incident for marijuana possession and/or having in found in his system. Once in an airport he was caught with a fake water bottle used to stash his weed; and it was found in his system when he was first indicted before the trials were even begun (or sometime very near that time).
So I for one do truly believe he will get popped for getting stoned.
So my comments are therefore grounded in fact, not in racial stereotyping or whatever you were getting at.
A lot of us do have facts about his sad, sorry excuse for a story.
(No idea what Whoopie said, though--I don't watch that crap show).
he had weed in his system....therefor his a druggie and go back to jail for being drug addict.
ReplyDeleteAre you guys seriously equating weed with hard narcotics.....
So he was caught smoking weed twice in his life.....proves his going to go back to jail.
Get real.
Weed does not equal cocaine, meth, heroin, opiates, and other hard narcotics.
In fact it should be legalized and treated like cigs and alcohol.
Nor does smoking it make you a bad person and liable to go back to jail.
He served his time....now he should be able to go to the strip clubs without people breathing down his throats.....he should also be able to try out for a team.
If his good...he will find a team...if he sucks he'll be flipping hamburgers.
@ Susan: What are you trying to say? That what Vick did was ok because other atrocities against animals go on all the time? None of it is ok.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't eat meat, but that doesn't have anything to do with what Vick did.
Enty, you're assuming that Vick has a worldview that is grand enough to even consider the NOTION that going to a strip club would be bad for his reputation, and that's assuming a lot.
ReplyDeleteAnd Iverson's WIFE went, too? Huh!
