If this were the first run-in for Mr. Vick I would cut him some slack - but this is a continuation of stupid behavior.

At some point you have to say if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck it is safe to assume it is a duck.

[MJHMarc]

You're right.

Vick is a quack.

BAD NEWS FOR VICK: FEDS ARE ON THE CASE

It now appears that there will not be a quick exoneration of Vick. Patrick Terpstra of WVEC-TV reports that Federal Investigaters are now on the case. And if this thing has caught the attention of the feds, it means that (at a minimum) Vick will be required to answer tough questions from men and women who have been BSed enough to know when they're being BSed.

As we've seen through the prosecutions of Martha Stewart and Scooter Libby, the feds like to send messages to the rest of us by nailing folks with name recognition. And Vick would be wise to realize that both Stewart and Libby were convicted not for the underlying matters that were being investigated, but for not telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth when the feds tried to sort it all out.

This may be a good time to get a lawyer mike..

the Falcons are screwed if Vick gets any jail time ......... or are they

hypothetically lets say Vick goes to jail for 6 months ....... he gets out in December missing the season .......... a season where the Falcons went 10-6 and made the playoffs ....... is Vick automatically the starter next year ?

Professional BS detectors? Wow, this is getting intense.

I would say so.

Vick is one of the most electrifying and worst behaved QBs in the NFL.

Finger incident!

-UPDATE-
Federal investigators have joined an investigation into an alleged dog-fighting ring behind a Surry County home owned by NFL star Michael Vick.
13News has also uncovered evidence of a dog breeding business with ties to Vick.
The Website for Vicks' K-9 Kennels offers pit bulls and other breeds for sale.
When 13News logged on Tuesday, it appeared the site was last updated in the fall of 2006. The site's copyright is listed as MV7, a company owned by the Newport News native.
The man who registered the site also registered Vick's personal site, but company's address says 9368 Moonlight Road in Suffolk, which that doesn't exist. Moonlight Road in Surry is where you find Vick's house, but 9368 is where you find an abandoned grocery store and farmland.

The listed phone number doesn't work.
Investigators confirm they've included the Web site in their portfolio of evidence as they consider charges.

[ThePundit]

Do you think the Falcons regret drafting Vick instead of LaDanian Tomlinson?

Agreed. The NFL will try their hardest not to fine a guy who sells the most jerseys and a lot of tickets.

I'm not so sure about that. The NFL knows its image is being tarnished by a few bad apples. What better way to send a message than with the suspension of one of the highest profile palyers in the league.

If he is guilty (I suspect he is) the NFL and Arthur Blank will have little choice but to act firmly and quickly.

[JRL]

This just in - some fellow named Ron Mexico has admitted to owning the dogs, the water bottle, flying the airplane (late landing) - more to come at 11:00.

[MJHMarc]

Ron Mexico is his #1 fan. What fans do for athletes!

VICK STORY TO GET "EVEN BIGGER"

In a Friday morning interview on 790 The Zone in Atlanta, reporter Mary Kay Mallonee of WAVY-TV said that investigators looking into the dog-fighting operation on Mike Vick's property in Virginia have privately said that the story is going to get even bigger as it continues to unfold.

Mallonee explained that a regional drug task force investigating Vick's cousin last week heard "all these dogs barking" while executing a search warrant. The investigators investigated (duh) and saw roughly 70 dogs, blood-soaked carpeting, and training equipment at an apparent "dog-fighting compound" behind the house. It was, as Mallonee described, a "huge operation."

At one point, she described it as a "major operation that needs lots of money to be supported." Given that the persons living in the house (as she noted) are not employed, where was the cash coming from, if not from Vick?

Also, Vick's claim that he never goes to the property seems to be getting shakier and shakier.

Neighbors told Mallonee that Vick is in town "all the time," and clerks at a nearby store said that Vick comes in to buy "lots of supplies" for the dogs, including syringes.

"I think they're gathering more and more evidence that he was very well aware [of the dog fighting]," Mallonee said, adding that she believes that the police have evidence more concrete than word of mouth from witnesses who say that they have seem him.

And Vick's potential culpability goes beyond knowledge and financial support of the operation. Mallonee said that the investigators are following leads which could show that Vick was actually present for some of the fights.

Vick has not yet been interviewed by investigators. Mallonee said that police are focused on getting all their ducks in a row before talking to Vick.

Memo to Mike: The next time you're at that store where you (allegedly) bought those syringes, it might be a good idea to by some soap. On a rope.
