I had to tie a bunch of them together into a rope to escape champ's Organic Food Stronghold in Austin, I think there are some pea-pickers in central Texas wearing most of them now.
Just so you know all K-9's are either adopted by the officer that took care of them or adopted by someone else close to them. They are trained to attack criminals. They get along with most every person and are lovable pets believe it or not. They are fantastic dogs. At least that has been my experience.
Wow your boss is an asshole too. After, I got arrested for embezzling clients money at my brokerage firm. I screwed up I changed the address on a bunch of clients accounts and had their checks sent to me. Who knew clients would notice after not getting statements for a few months that a couple of million here or there would be missing from their accounts. Well after a year in jail my boss brought me to a strip club and bought me all the lap dances and drinks I wanted. Then after getting shitfaced we got into his street racer and tried to race some of the local kids for their car titles. My boss is cool. Plus I go my old job back and some of the same clients.
I'll take a skank on my lap over a slap on the wrist any day of the week. That's some funny shat if it's true.
Vick cards chewed by dogs are on eBay http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?sl...fo_ne/fbn_vick_chewed_cards&prov=ap&type=lgns By BRIAN CHARLTON, Associated Press writer August 24, 2007 Take some trading cards picturing a disgraced NFL superstar. Add some dog slobber and teethmarks. What do you get? The most valuable Michael Vick cards ? by far ? on eBay, that's what. Collector Rochelle Steffen of Cape Girardeau, Mo., gave every Vick card she owned to her dogs and let them go to town on the images of the Atlanta Falcons quarterback who is scheduled to plead guilty to a federal dogfighting charge Monday. Once Monte, her 6-year-old Weimaraner, and Roxie, her Great Dane puppy, were done worrying them, nearly two dozen $1-$10 cards were crumpled, crimped, chewed, torn and generally in a sorry state. Some even had corners missing. As of Thursday evening, the highest bid on the lot of 22 cards had risen to $455 and more than 2,000 people had viewed the posting. Seventy-seven people already have bid on the auction, which ends Sunday. The next-most expensive Vick cards ? well-preserved specimens from his rookie year ? were going for less than half the price of the gnawed ones. "If I would have had some of his super-duper ones, they would have been right in the mix too," Steffen said Thursday. She plans to donate the winning bid money to the humane society of the bidder's choice. Since Vick was indicted on federal dogfighting charges last month, former fans have donated Vick jerseys to dog shelters, while others have tried to cash in by selling Vick T-shirts and chew toys for dogs. "I'm not angry toward him; my anger is toward anyone who would do this to animals," said Steffen, a college student and artist who wrote a note accompanying her auction to explain it was artistic expression. "I mean no harm to anyone involved with this auction," she wrote. Vick said through a lawyer this week he will plead guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and conspiracy to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture. Steffen's cards join a collection of newly released items on sale. T-shirts are being sold online with slogans that say "Ignorance Breeds Ignorance. Neuter Mike Vick," and "ConVICKt" and others that show dogs urinating on footballs and jerseys. A few fans also have released "Free Vick" shirts. The St. Paul Saints, a minor league baseball team known for campy promotions, gave out Vick chew toys Tuesday to the first 15,000 fans with some game proceeds going to the Humane Society. Fans got the St. Paul pig mascot with a No. 7 printed on the back and a tag around its neck with Vick's picture. :rofl2: The Atlanta Humane Society also has reported former Vick fans mailing in jerseys ? often accompanied by financial contributions and letters of outrage over the charges. Those former fans have suggested the Falcons jerseys become animal bedding or rags to help scrub up the messes that dogs leave behind. Other branches of the Humane Society have said they'll take donated Vick items to resell on eBay. Steffen said she hopes to bring more attention to the abuse of animals involved in dogfighting activities. "The money donated to local shelters makes this whole idea of selling the cards worthwhile," she said.
I watched this. He says the "right" things, all criminals are sorry after they're caught. Oh and he found God (They usually find God in prison, not before they get there) Vick to be sentenced Dec. 10 after guilty plea ESPN.com news services Updated: August 27, 2007, 12:10 PM ET http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2992890 RICHMOND, Va. -- Michael Vick pleaded guilty Monday to a federal dogfighting charge and awaited a Dec. 10 sentencing date that could send the NFL star to prison. In a statement before the media Monday, Vick said he took full responsibility for his actions. He concluded by saying: "I will redeem myself. I have to." "First, I want to apologize for all the things that I have done and I have allowed to happen. I want to personally apologize to Commissioner Goodell, Arthur Blank, Coach Bobby Petrino, and my Atlanta Falcons teammates, for I was not honest and forthright in our discussions," Vick said. "I was ashamed and totally disappointed in myself, to say the least. I want to apologize to all the young kids out there for my immature acts. What I did was very immature, so that means I need to grow up." Vick said he now has rejected dogfighting and has found religion as a result of the federal charges. "Dogfighting is a terrible thing. I reject it," he said. "I totally ask for forgiveness and understanding as I move forward to better Michael Vick the person, not the football player," Vick said. "I take full responsibility for my actions ? I am totally responsible." The plea by the suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback was accepted by U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson, who asked: "Are you entering the plea of guilty to a conspiracy charge because you are in fact guilty?" Vick replied, "Yes, sir." Hudson emphasized he is not bound by sentencing guidelines and can impose the maximum sentence of up to five years in prison. "You're taking your chances here. You'll have to live with whatever decision I make," Hudson said. In his written plea filed in federal court Friday, Vick admitted helping kill six to eight pit bulls and supplying money for gambling on the fights. He said he did not personally place any bets or share in any winnings. The NFL suspended him indefinitely and without pay Friday after his plea agreement was filed. Merely associating with gamblers can trigger a lifetime ban under the league's personal conduct policy. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Vick stands to lose approximately $100 million because of his conviction. Federal prosecutors recommended 12-18 months in prison. "A first-time offender might well receive no jail time for this offense," U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg said in a statement. "We thought, however, that the conduct in this conspiracy was heinous, cruel and inhumane" so three of the four defendants, including Vick, should receive harsher sentences. The first defendant to plead guilty left the conspiracy in 2004 and is not as culpable, he said. The case began in late April when authorities conducting a drug investigation of Vick's cousin raided the former Virginia Tech star's rural Surry County property and seized dozens of dogs, some injured, and equipment commonly used in dogfighting. Vick's plea came hours before the Falcons are scheduled to play an exhibition game at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. This will be the first chance for the team to see what effect Vick's case has on attendance at the Georgia Dome. Vick wears the biggest-selling jersey in team history and is given much credit for the team's 51 consecutive sellouts. After initially denying his involvement, Vick has said little publicly about the case. Privately, he met with Goodell and Falcons owner Arthur Blank when the investigation was just beginning, and almost certainly lied to both.
Found religion…what a joke. The only thing he found is that his friends have the loyalty of a common thief and contrary to what he had previously thunk – it aint too easy to find a job that be’ payin’ $130,000,000.
He's just spinning this as best he can. I don't see why his views on dog fighting would change other then that fact that it ruined his life. It's not like he woke up one morning and decided hey dog fighting is bad, who want to kill a dog?
Apparently Hank Aaron thinks Michael Vick is "a very good guy." http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/08/28/hank-aaron-michael-vick-a-very-good-guy/ Wow, Hank comes across really badly here, and as more than a little hypocritical. He refuses to say anything about Bonds for months (when he's never even been accused of anything illegal), and jumps on the bandwagon of a convicted felon within hours?
