PFT- Vick admits everything

VICK ADMITS EVERYTHING

We've reviewed in detail the plea agreement signed by Michael Vick on Thursday, along with the statement of facts.

Notwithstanding the anonymous source who told the anonymous reporter at ESPN that Vick would not admit to killing dogs or to gambling, Vick admits to everything.

In paragraph 1, Vick pleads guilty to conspiracy to establish, maintain, etc. an interstate gambling enterprise and conspiracy to engage in interstate dog fighting.

In paragraph 2, Vick admits that the Surry County property to which he initially said he never goes was the main staging area for housing and training pit bulls for fighting.

In paragraph 3, Vick admits to being involved in dog fights at the Surry County property, and to participating in dog fights in other states.

In paragraph 4, Vick admits that the enterprise involved gambling activities in violation of Virginia law. Vick denies that he placed side bets on any fights, or that he received process from the purses. (However, he admits that he was the primary source of funds for the operation. If the winnings went only to his co-defendants, then that's less money Vick had to give them to get them to continue to tend to the operation while he was "at work" for the Atlanta Falcons.)

In paragraph 9, Vick admits that he began acquiring dogs for the operation in "2001-2002," and that the "Bad Newz Kennels" were established in 2002.

In paragraph 12, Vick admits that he knew the other defendants "killed a number of dogs" that did not perform well in testing sessions in 2002. Vick denies killing any dogs at that time.

In paragraph 32, Vick admits that in April 2007 -- the same month in which he say face-to-face with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and denied that dog fighting was occurring on his land -- he agreed with Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips to kill six-to-eight dogs that did not perform well in testing sessions. Here's the key passage:

"[A]ll of those dogs were killed by various methods, including hanging and drowning. VICK agrees and stipulates that these dogs all died as a result of the collective efforts of PEACE, PHILLIPS, and VICK."

Case closed. He admits to gambling, and he admits to killing dogs.

Someone at ESPN has some serious explaining to do.

KYJET-Thanks for being on top of this. I appreciate all the links and news stories you provided. Vick is scum. It is not a right to play in the NFL. It is a privilege. He doesn't deserve it. It is another thing that people tend to confuse. Just because he played in the NFL and that is taken away from him (due to his own stupidity) that somehow he deserves to come back to the NFL if he is remorseful. Please. Start selling your s**t off Mike and putting that money away. You're going to need it.

I love that Goddell saw through this "end around" and banned him like he should have been. What a piece of repugnant dirt Vick is, and he deserves all that come his way from this. I remember thinking back at the draft that when Quinn fell to Atlanta's spot they should take him, because I felt at the time (was mostly alone on this) that this situation would eventually end up like this. In terms of Goddell he impresses me more each day. Let's face it, Vick was in the top 5 in NFL popularity and it had to be difficult from a marketing standpoint even after all this to ban him indefinitely. But the right choice was made. Now Goddell needs to implement a rookie slotting system and insure that when the contract is opened next year that there is no work stoppage.
