  • Criminal Vick

    I am personally ashamed that my alma matter is associated with any of the Vick clan...such talent wasted on foolish issues...whether it be Ron Mexico, dog fighting, trying to injure a player by stepping on him, smoking weed (not a crime in itself, but the shear stupidity of trying to transport it on airplane), etc, they are a true disgrace to an otherwise seemingly clean program (are any really clean?)...the Vicks in no way truly represent the spirit and tough mentality of VA Tech...rather, I believe that Bruce Smith conveys more of what is the real Hokies...such talent gone to waste...let the highlight reel rot in hell!

    Vick indicted by federal grand jury in dogfighting case

    RICHMOND, Va. -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on charges related to illegal dogfighting.

    Vick and three others were charged with violating federal laws against competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting and conducting the enterprise across state lines.

    The indictment alleges that Vick and his co-defendants began sponsoring dogfighting in early 2001, the former Virginia Tech star's rookie year with the Falcons.

    It accuses Vick, Purnell A. Peace, Quanis L. Phillips and Tony Taylor of "knowingly sponsoring and exhibiting an animal fighting venture," of conducting a business enterprise involving gambling, as well as buying, transporting and receiving dogs for the purposes of an animal fighting venture.

    Telephone messages left at the offices and home of Vick's attorney, Larry Woodward, were not immediately returned.

    A woman who answered the phone at the home of Vick's mother said the family knew nothing about the charges.

    On July 7, federal authorities conducted a second search of the Surry, Va., property owned by Vick that is the center of the dogfighting investigation.

    According to court documents filed by federal authorities earlier this month, dogfights have been sponsored by "Bad Newz Kennels" at the property since at least 2002. For the events, participants and dogs traveled from South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, New York, Texas and other states.

    Fifty-four pit bulls were recovered from the property during searches in April, along with a "rape stand," used to hold dogs in place for mating; an electric treadmill modified for dogs; and a bloodied piece of carpeting, the documents said.

    During a June search of the property, investigators uncovered the graves of seven pit bulls that were killed by members of "Bad Newz Kennels" following sessions to test whether the dogs would be good fighters, the documents alleged.

    Members of "Bad Newz Kennels" also sponsored and exhibited fights in other parts of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey and other states, according to the filings.

    On Vick's website, he lists his birthplace as Newport News, "a.k.a. BadNews."

    The documents said the fights usually occurred late at night or in the early morning and would last several hours.

    Before fights, participating dogs of the same sex would be weighed and bathed, according to the filings. Opposing dogs would be washed to remove any poison or narcotic placed on the dog's coat that could affect the other dog's performance.

    Sometimes, dogs weren't fed to "make it more hungry for the other dog."

    Fights would end when one dog died or with the surrender of the losing dog, which was sometimes put to death by drowning, strangulation, hanging, gun shot, electrocution or some other method, according to the documents.

    Vick initially said he had no idea the property might have been used in a criminal enterprise and blamed family members for taking advantage of his generosity.

    Vick has since declined to talk about the investigation.

      I am probably not the right representative, but the school prides itself on being more "Blue collar" in nature...more hands on, skills, and such...anyways, that is my take...there is good and bad everywhere, but the Vicks have been linked to the school and it is a shame for all their recklessness and dumbfounded actions...but such is life...i am glad they went after his sorry ass!

        i do not think people view him as a reflection on the university.....Most D-1 football programs are not fielding a team of choir boys for sure......it is all about athletes who can play, put fannies in the seats and get Bowl $$$$......character is a little further down the list for most schools......

        They sell their soul for the $$$$

          F you vick.

          Im not going to be stupid enough to simplify the inhumane treatment to dogs but michael vick has to be smart enough to know if you are high profiled athlete you cant risk your career hanging out with a bunch of knuckle heads making stupid decisions. Not only did he possibly harm innocent animals he did it callously with no regard to their health or well being.


          Whatever he gets, he deserves. Next time make better choices.

                          This is just warped

                          I have never seen pictures of dog fighting, it astounds me to know that some would take pleasure in watching this. Sick, just plain mean.
