How many times have you heard a lawyer (real or fake) say “I could indict an innocent man/dead man/ham sandwich? The idea being that it’s easy to get an indictment. So when the feds come back and say that they are unlikely to indict Vick because:

The authorities have told the Falcons and league that there has not been any evidence that can be tied to Vick with the alleged dogfighting ring.

That’s a pretty powerful statement. It goes against almost everything we’ve heard during this saga. Michael Vick was tried in the media, and found guilty, because people wanted him to be guilty. There was a rush to judgment on the public’s part, but with a lot of the misinformation being given, what could you expect?

Whatever happened to the videotape that shows Mike Vick at a dogfight party? It would’ve turned up by now if it really existed. It sucks that something like that can get floated out by major outlets without consequence. Vick got done wrong in the media, Dwil has a whole lot more to say about it, and hopefully everybody has learned from it.

The news is good for Michael Vick but not for everybody in his camp. The feds still plan to indict at least 3 people, and the Surry County investigation hasn’t concluded yet. At least Vick’s name is safe from the smut for a few days.

WHAT HAPPENS AT DOG FIGHT CLUB DOESN’T STAY AT DOG FIGHT CLUB

The Mike Vick dog drama is still on going and as more information comes out, it’s seeming like Michael Vick was definitely aware, if not involved, with the Dog Fight Club. There’s supposedly video evidence of Mike at a dog fight, and you gotta check out what Kathy Strouse is saying. Strouse, the animal control coordinator for the City of Chesapeake in Virginia stated she is “very confident” that Vick will be linked to the scandal, and she’s pushing for Surry County Commonwealth attorney Gerald Poindexter to press charges. Dogfighting is a felony in Virginia, punishable by up to 5 years in the big house.

One thing is for sure… Mike loves his dogs.. Check out this video:

I didn’t see the water bottle with the secret compartment on the shoes or the name Air Mexico.. Nike obviously didn’t do their homework. I think the word Nike execs are looking for is “recall”.
