It's a local issue, for better or worse.

if Vick ever crossed state lines with a fighting dog in tow it became a federal issue

did he ? ......... i dont know

What happens if the feds wind up fingering Vick as the head of some kind of national or international dog training and fighting cartel. That would just be too surreal for words. Not that this whole situation already comes off sounding like a cruddy TV movie of the week. I'm assuming by the time any actual charges are filed, every single person in America will be sick to death of hearing about this case. I know I sure am.

Same here. Exactly why does this case (or why do they believe) this case falls under their jurisdiction? We need answers.

Everytime you mention her name I keep thinking back to Mike & Mike in the Morning and Greeny's little button that, when pushed, plays a clip of Paris's infamous "That's Hot!" quote. I heard the judge sent her back to jail and made her cry, the big meanie. I heard it because like this Vick case, it's all over the bleedin' newspapers, websites and TV stations. Sorry, now I'm getting off topic. Yeah, you hit the nail on the head though, Goth. Any time a celebrity, athlete or otherwise, has legal trouble, it's gonna become a circus. Just like the Vick case.

I don't know who I dislike more at this point the Media, Miss Hilton, or Mike Vick.

How about we hire the media to drive the bus for Vick and Hilton.

I may be completly off base but I think the feds are involved because it reaches far beyond the state of Virginia - otherwise I'm with GDK.

Sad if it really crosses state lines...

[simple simon]

correct me if im wrong .... doesnt RICCO cover conspiracy to commit criminal activity ?

didnt the ESPN "informant" say he saw Vick at the dog fights (which in and of itself is a felony) ...... and he also said the fights where up and down the East Coast

now as said before, it matters very little what we believe . it matters what the authorities believe ........ and if they believe these to be facts then it is a fed problem

Thinking this is limited to some little backwoods hamlet in Virginia is naive – it is a global problem and legal in some countries.

Global problem sure...doesn't mean across state lines is connected to Vick...the two may or may not be related.
