Mikey D

Ah, poor Mike Vick.

Flips the bird to all his fans in the ATL, gets busted with some sort of alleged narcotic in his water bottle (you stay classy), and now is being grouped with a bunch of hoodlums (his relatives) in a dog fighting scandal.

Of course he apologized for giving a giant "F-You!" to the his fans. He claimed his innocence with his now infamous drugged water bottle. And he vehemently denies any knowledge of breeding dogs for fighting on a property he owns.

Now as a casual observer and a perpetual softy, I can forgive Mike Vick for his actions- to a point. I can understand being frustrated with your team (you do carry it), and taking it out on the fans who are booing you instead of supporting you. I accept your "Get Out of Jail Free" card Mr. Vick.

You get busted with a foreign substance in your water bottle at the airport during the off season. Hmmm...that's odd to say the least. Seriously. Who puts drugs in their water bottle and tries to smuggle them onto the plane? Vick denies doing this, and because the incident sounds so outlandish and unrealistic, I actually believe you Michael. Free pass numero dos.

Now even I reach my limits; and apparently one of my limits is dog fighting. First let me say that anyone who watches dog fighting, breeds dogs for fighting, or is a part of dog fighting on any level is a fucking moron without a life or intelligent thought in their head. I mean that. You have to be the stupidest fucking person on the face of the earth to think it's okay to breed dogs to viciously fight one another. I don't care how much money you make doing it (there are other ways to make money last time I checked). I don't care if you think it's "fun to watch", because it's not, it's a goddamn felony.

Michael Vick owns a property. Dogs are being breed on this property for dog fighting. Michael Vick claims that he had no idea that was happening on his property, and that it is a few of his relatives that run the property. Are you seriously telling me that you don't know what's going on one of your own properties? I know you must have a few, but seriously, you just buy them and never go to them or something? I know if I bought a plot of land, put a house on it, and had some relatives come stay in it, I might visit once or twice. But hey, that's just me.

This is where I, the fan who forgave, puts his foot down. I don't believe you anymore. Three strikes and you're out. Even if you had nothing to do with the dog fighting and breeding ring like you allegedly say, you should still be dick slapped by a donkey because you're stupid as fuck for not realizing what's happening on your property.

What does Mike Vick have to say about his recent problems?

"The fans support Mike Vick."

Well we did. Clinton Portis might support you because he doesn't think dog fighting is a big deal because it's your property and you can do what you want on it. Yeah, and while you're at it you can beat your wife, molest a kid, and kill a gardener, because laws apparently don't apply to you when you're on your property. Hey Clinton, whether you think it's okay or not, it's still a felony! Vick's new teammate Joe Horn said he considers Mike Vick a great role model for his kids. Right, and I bet a shit and urine flavored Slurpee will taste great with a side ball sack. Please, spare me.

I think Mike Vick summed it up best when a reporter asked him whether or not he will be exonerated of all charges pertaining to the dog fighting. When asked, Vick replied, "No comment." Mind you, he had plenty of comments beforehand about everything and everyone else, but asked whether or not he'll be exonerated, it was "no comment."

This leads me to two conclusions:
1) Michael Vick is guilty and knows it, and feels lying to a reporter on camera will only hurt his image further, so the safest route to go is to plead the fifth.
2) Michael Vick doesn't know what 'exonerated' means. Otherwise he'd profess his innocence, like all other previous times.

Looking at Vick's past year, I think I have a good guess on which of the two conclusions is more accurate.
