Though he SHOULD take into consideration WHO lives in his property, let's not jump the gun and ASSUME he is guilty of anything....people tend to do that a bit too much when it comes to athletes....I have been guilty of that myself.
but he still associates with questionable people. he said on sports center tonite he was going to change. yeah, probably because the commish told him to shape up or he might be gone for a year!!
The local news here says someone claims to have video tapes of the dog fights and guess who is very likely to be on them???
Vick has always been overrated. If Blank was not lining his pockets on the black population of the South of Vick, Vick would be gone already.
Source says an informant witnessed Vick at dog fighting scene; video tape may exist

Sources have said that a police informant saw Michael Vick, a Newport News native, at dog fights. Video is also said to exist putting Vick at a scene he claims to know nothing about.
"It will work itself out. I just got to watch the people that I keep around me and just do some things differently from here on out in the future," said Vick.
A consultant on the case talked to WAVY about evidence that could point the finger at the football star.
Mark Kumpf of the Virginia Animal Control Association explained, "You are looking at a piece of evidence that clearly could refute suspect's statements that 'I was never there.'"
They are informants that Kumpf said have proven trustworthy in the past. The informants said they have seen Michael Vick at dog fighting events and suggest there may be a video tape of Vick at a dog fight out there too.
"They have seen Michael Vick at alleged dog fighting events or they have alleged that video tape exists of one of those events," Kumpf said.
If those informants are telling the truth and there is a video somewhere out there, the case against Vick could be a strong one. Three weeks after the start of the investigation, no one has been charged in the case.
The delay has some already asking whether the prosecution is in trouble.
Kumpf said, "A lot of the individuals outside looking in on that investigation are eager to see some resolution."
The Commonwealth's Attorney and investigators will meet next Monday to determine if anyone will be charged.

Surry Co. prosecutor says he'll meet with investigators Monday in Vick case
Surry Co. Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald Poindexter said he will have a meeting with the investigators and the sheriff on Monday to go over what evidence they have gathered so far. He will then try to determine what, if any, charges are warranted in the Vick property dog-fighting investigation.
Poindexter said he does not expect to be ready to submit anything to the grand jury that will be meeting on Tuesday. He did say that he can call for a special grand jury if he chooses to do so.
The only sense of urgency Poindexter said he feels in calling for a special grand jury would be caused by concern for the number of dogs that are being held by animal control. A lot of the dogs have still not been tested because they have to use a special testing lab for dogs. Since many of the dogs are technically considered to be evidence, they probably wouldn't be released until the case reaches some disposition.

Surry Co. prosecutor still evasive as to when, or even if charges will be filed in Vick dog fighting case
It's been more than two weeks since police discovered a suspected dog fighting compound at NFL quarterback Michael Vick's home in Surry County.
And still, Surry's top prosecutor says he does not know if anyone will be charged.
The commonwealth's attorney tells 10 On Your Side he has not seen any evidence of dog fighting on Vick's property. Even though, investigators say he was out there on the scene and saw with his own eyes blood soaked carpets, elaborate equipment and dozens of wounded dogs.
"What are you talking about, don't run a game on me." Said Surry County Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald Poindexter when confronted by 10 On Your Side.
With the elaborate set up, and the training equipment, and with all the wounded, scarred dogs, and with more than two weeks to check it out, why has the top prosecutor not charged anyone?
"If you have the names of witnesses that can put Michael Vick into dog fighting, then give me their names," Poindexter said.
Soon after police discovered the dogs, Vick claimed he is never at his house, even though he owns it and his relatives live there.
"It will work itself out. I just got to watch the people that I keep around me and just do something things differently from here on out in the future.
"If he's denying he came to the county, that's not true, because we can certainly show he comes here from time to time."
But Poindexter says he has no idea how much longer he needs to look at the evidence before he makes a decision.
"Don't play games with me, I'm too old to play games," said Poindexter. We asked about all the scarred dogs. "What scarred dogs? How many?" asked Poindexter. We told him we've got video of the dogs.
You can see for yourself on our video the bite marks and scars all over the dogs. Investigators say most of the dogs look much worse.
Also, We talked with one of the animal control officers who is caring for the some of the dogs. She said a couple of them are not doing well. They are very sick.
The 70 dogs are being kept in secret locations across Hampton Roads.

And to think, whites are CONSTANTLY telling us that WE should stop thinking like "minorities".....LMAO....hard to do when you keep REMIND US WE ARE!!!
Anyways.....Until I see Vick ON A VIDEO....it is all "he said/she said". And "overrated"....your Packers would take him in New York City minute if they had the chance.
Witnesses are enough for a court.And to think, whites are CONSTANTLY telling us that WE should stop thinking like "minorities".....LMAO....hard to do when you keep REMIND US WE ARE!!!

See him on Video...please.
It is the absolute truth Salsa re: Blank and the black population of specifically Atlanta and the greater South. I am not ripping anyone just stating the truth. If you can't see it you are just fooling yourself. Blank laughs all the way to the bank.
Please...the Packers wouldn't take Vick and guess most teams would not either. He is an over-rated QB anyway you look at it. We might use him at Rb though. We could give him a tryout there.

LMAO....if you KNEW football as much as you thought....you would be a GM!! I would take Vick over a old, hard-headed Farve ANYDAY and so would 99% of the league....!!
Yes....they are...but if you considered some of the people that would be hanging out at these dog fights....yeah...alot of reliable people there.....
I have been to a few cock fights in Puerto Rico(they are legal)...and some of the characters there, I doubt they are anymore reliable as those in dog fights......
In my opinion, people who arrange and/or go to cockfights and dog fights, are worthless to society. If I had my way, I would dig a big pit, push them in, cover it, walk away and have a beer.
