Looks like he's going to plead guilty:

It's a shame to see such talent wasted. I hope he never plays football (for money) again.

And many of them are super-stars and poster boys.
All he could think of was that the dogs could not speak for themselves or act for themselves.

I saw the greatest editorial cartoon on Vick today, in a zine. Does anyone know of a cartoon site other than www.cagle.com?
Found it!

How a Police Dog, Troy the Dutch Shepherd, Led to Michael Vick's Downfall
One of the aspects of the Michael Vick dog fighting investigation that hasn't gotten much attention is how it all started. So let's explain: It all started with a dog named Troy.

I love that editorial cartoon, honey!
That said, I'm so ready for all this to be over with. I had hoped that once he entered a guilty plea, the media would kinda back off. Unfortunately, the reverse is true. I'm such a football fan that I'm afraid this will overshadow the whole season - both college and pro. And with Vick having played at Virginia Tech... that combined with April's tragedy, I feel bad for the Hokies. I hope they really do well this season. And not just because they're "America's Team," as Corso defined them, but because they deserve something to celebrate.

I'm 'bout fed up with people taking "full responsibility" - AFTER they lie to investigators, AFTER they're faced with the evidence, and AFTER they plead guilty. Gimme a break! Is that supposed to make him sound honorable?
He tried his best to weasel out of it, now - with his tail between his legs like one of his dogs, he's "taking full responsibility"? What a bunch of crap. He got caught, pure and simple. He's a criminal.
He called his actions "immature". I'd call them something else more descriptive of the horrible things he took part in, but not "immature". It's not like he wet his pants.
He's a disgusting excuse for a human being. I hope he gets the maximum penalty allowed by Federal law, and is further charged under state law.

I am walking MNFB on ESPN and they are showing Michael Vick showing his apology...
I don't think the Fed should make him go to jail. I think he should be monetarily punished and he do 1,000,000,000 hours of community service with ASPCA and PETA. Especially that which deals with cleaning out the cages with poop and making sure animals do not die.
Actually, that would be funny if he go to Animal Tech school where he has to clean out animal cages in research laboratories at Universities and Biotechs.

I couldn't find an article to link to, but a headline for a video on Yahoo! indicates that all but one of the 49 dogs are adoptable. Unfortunately, one was so aggressive that it wouldn't cooperate long enough for a complete exam; it will be euthanized.
I hope the 48 "adoptable" dogs find good homes.

I am very happy to know that 48/49 dogs will be saved and given a chance at a better life.

They've been suspended. Here's a link to an article that focuses on the fallout of the controversial t-shirts.
