Meanwhile... 50 dogs owned by Vick will most likely be euthanized. They are the culled killers that are too dangerous to be kept.
It's a sad thing, but I understand why...

it hurts deeply i have two pit bulls who are the most lovable dogs you would want. they even play with my daughters two cats. it will be a sham if they let him play in the nfl again. cause know he is going to say what the people want to hear. myself will never believe that he means it. ben going on for 6 years and still if he would not have been caught.

I agree... I also had a pit bull. Unfortunately, if they are enabled to fight and taught to kill, you can't put them in a home. It's way too risky and dangerous. It's just sad...

"Through this situation I've found Jesus,"

Vick actually said this today sounding like he was reading a prepared statement like in one of those hostage videos.

I hope he knows that the good Lord is not into dog fighting.

When I was watching the news I thought I heard people cheering him, but I thought no way they must be yelling stuff at him. That's just sick. I can just hear it now. "If this had been a white football player this wouldn't be happening."

I am really happy he found Jesus, although I didn't know Jesus was lost. Pretty convenient finding him now. It was pretty funny to listen to an interview back in April where Vick said how much he loved dogs and how he would never harm one. What a difference a few months make.

It was also heartwarming that he apologized to the fans. What a guy.
yeah i know, real convenient finding Jesus right now. I'm sure he's been staying up late at night reading the bible.

I think a lot of that cheering is staged, fans and friends that they encourage to get out there and make noise. PR stuff.

Its really sad that people in trouble always use jesus as a crutch. Yes, some of these jailhouse confessions are real and their lives are changed, but it isent something that happens over night. Just because you accept christ doesn't make you a perfect person...

it's just part of the whole oops, got arrested, do the following:

shave
get a hair cut
buy a suit
apologize
invoke jesus' name
throwing god in helps

I really did not think his handlers would take this approach.
Maybe he is sincere...

I don't think so, Pat. If he hadn't been caught, would he have still found Jesus? I doubt it...

lol

i doubt it. only after all the denials, the blame game, the pointing of fingers, the who me defense...only when he knew it was all over did he finally come out and speak.

boy, what a quick turnaround--oh, poor me. i'm immature. my son is immature, i haven't seen a pit bull in the back yard yet. didn't realize committing felonies was part of the maturation process. silly me.

he wouldn't be maturing, pleading guilty, and finding jesus had he not got caught. Loser.
