i'm SICK of it

STOP IT. stop defending michael vick. he's agreed to plead guilty. as far as i am concerned he IS guilty. STOP blaming his friends, the crowd he hangs with. STOP telling me what a good guy he is. (i can't find it now, but i read an article earlier where a teammate or friend said what a wonderful guy vick was because he tossed a ball around with the friend's son). a GOOD GUY DOES NOT buy dogs, fight dogs, TORTURE dogs and KILL DOGS. they don't. period. end of it.
don't bring in 'representatives from civil rights organizations'. that's just downright shite. has nothing to do with anything. i would feel this rage if it was an 85 year old white woman from sweden. YOU CANNOT be 'good' and torture dogs. that's it

Vick plea revelation delivers a chill Some disappointed, others stand by QB

......Vick's former teammate, free-agent running back Fred McCrary, called the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Monday evening because he said Vick is being unfairly portrayed."My heart is in my stomach," said McCrary, who said he last spoke to Vick two weeks ago.

(unfairly portrayed. that's SHITE you hear me SHITE)

.......Earlier this month, in a march to the Georgia Dome to assert their support for Vick, civil-rights leaders from the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Southern Christian Leadership Center cautioned the public against rushing to judgment before Vick appeared in court.On Monday, representatives from both civil-rights organizations declined to comment, the Los Angeles Times reported. Gerald Rose, the founder of New Order, a new Atlanta-based human-rights group, told the Los Angeles Times he planned to go ahead with a "major rally" for Vick at the Georgia Dome on Monday but acknowledged it would take on a different tone.......
(RALLY? RALLY for a DOG TORTURER?)

Longtime Loyalties Are Seen as Culprits In Vick's Undoing

BROOKLYN, Md. -- James Boddie rose from a leather chair in the living room of his townhouse, minutes from downtown Baltimore, and walked upstairs to retrieve something. "I want to show you this," he said.
He'd been telling stories about his grandson, Michael Vick, stories about how a poor kid from a rough neighborhood in Newport News, Va., could use football to build a fancy house for his mother and a life of fame and riches for himself. He had been telling of taking a train to New York to be with his grandson and other family members when the Atlanta Falcons made Vick, a quarterback from Virginia Tech with a powerful left arm and magical legs, the top pick in the NFL draft in April 2001..........
............The most prominent theory, espoused by Boddie and Reeves, blames much of Vick's troubles on his continued association with childhood friends who have questionable pasts. Those same friends were the ones who agreed to testify against Vick in exchange for more lenient sentences for their roles in the crimes.........
