    Damn it. Do you guys think there's any way the start of the season somehow gets pushed back by all this crap? I know it's unlikely, but it's definitely gonna take some time to sort this all out.

    Depends on what sort of gambling activity they were involved with I guess. If its not basketball related, it won't be so bad. Here's to hoping they like baseball!

    Thankfully (IMO), very few people believe like you. I think what you are suggesting is insane. Dogfighting and deliberate animal cruelty is sadistic and reprehensible, but equating animal to human life is beyond nutty from my standpoint.

    I agree with you about the people who say Vick is being singled out because he is black. They have a warped view of things. I'm sick of people who play the race card every time a black celebrity gets caught doing sometime wrong. Minorities do get singled out sometimes, but not in this case.

    Eating meat for food is different. And hunting, while I think is kind of barbaric, the hunters aren't into torturing an animal and instead kill it cleanly. To even compare either case with which vick did is asinine. :rolleyes: We're talking about someone electrocuting dogs, hanging them and slamming them to the ground until death. That goes beyond just killing a dog for losing, but is depraved and sick. They got enjoyment over finding different ways to torture and kill a dog before death. Yup the same as eating meat or hunting. Next time use your head and think before you post. :rolleyes:

    No need to withhold judgement anymore cause vick pleads guilty now.

    Vick faces prison time after agreeing to plead guilty

    RICHMOND, Va. -- Michael Vick's lawyer said Monday the NFL star will plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges, putting the Atlanta Falcons quarterback's career in jeopardy and leaving him subject to a prison term.
