    Dogs. I have one. He's very nice. I suspect I'd have to liquor him up and say rude things about his mother to get him to fight. If there's some way to bet on licking and rolling around though bet on Jack.

    Anyway, since all 50 States has banned this idiotic "sport" I think that says that a good majority of Americans are really against this and as a crime it should have some punishment.

    If the Atlanta Falcons or the NFL wants to suspend Vick, as his employers they have that right. Playing in the NFL is a privilege, not a right as the league commissioner has made clear recently. But Vick has not even been charged, let alone convicted of any crime yet, so I'd prefer to extend to him the presumption of innocence and allow the legal machinery to grind onward.:wink:

    Peace out.

    I heard again on the news today that they have people that claim to have knowledge of him fighting pit bulls. No one can testify he ever fought dogs.

    Sounds like a guy drinking a Heineken and getting accuse of drinking a beer to me.

    I heard on the radio this morning that another raid was occuring at Vicks home.

    Just found a link:
    --------------------------------------------------------
    SURRY, Va. -- A dozen cars and a U-Haul truck were parked Friday on property owned by Falcons quarterback Michael Vick in what appeared to be a second federal raid of the site that has been the focus of a dogfighting probe.

    A U.S. Department of Agriculture agent stationed at the gate had no comment, ESPN's Kelly Naqi reported.

    Television station WVEC in Hampton Roads, Va., is reporting that an investigator told it that forensics crews are searching only for dog carcasses. It also reported that the Surry County Sheriff's Office is involved in the search.

    The house is in the process of being sold by Vick, according to Naqi.

    The USDA is the federal agency with oversight over treatment of domestic animals and investigates dog fighting allegations.

    On June 7, federal law enforcement officials descended on a home owned by Vick armed with a search warrant that suggests they're taking over an investigation into the Falcons quarterback's possible involvement in dogfighting.

    More than a dozen vehicles went to the home early that day and investigators searched inside before turning their attention to the area where officials found dozens of dogs in late April and evidence that suggested the home was involved in a dogfighting operation.

    Surry County officials had secured a search warrant in late May based on an informant's information to look for as many as 30 dog carcasses buried on the property. The warrant never was executed because Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald G. Poindexter said he had issues with the way it was worded.

    The results of that search have remained sealed.

    At the time, Poindexter expressed surprise at why the federal government was involved.

    "What is foreign to me is the federal government getting into a dogfighting case," Poindexter said. "I know it's been done, but what's driving this? Is it this boy's celebrity? Would they have done this if it wasn't Michael Vick?"

    A day later, Poindexter said: "They launched a separate, independent federal investigation," Poindexter said of the government, which has had a representative involved in the local probe all along.

    "We are just pursuing parallel investigations."

    During an April 25 drug raid on the home Vick owns in the county, authorities seized 66 dogs, including 55 pit bulls, and equipment that suggested someone at the property was involved in a dogfighting operation.

    A search warrant affidavit said some of the dogs were in individual kennels and about 30 were tethered with "heavy logging-type chains" buried in the ground. The chains allowed the dogs to get close to each other, but not to have contact, one of myriad findings on the property that suggested a dogfighting operation.

    Others included a rape stand, used to hold non-receptive dogs in place for mating; an electric treadmill modified to be used by dogs; a "pry bar" used to open the clamped-down mouths of dogs; and a bloodied piece of carpeting the authorities believe was used in dog fights. Carpeting gives dogs traction in a plywood fighting pit.

    Vick has claimed he rarely visits the home and was unaware it could be involved in a criminal enterprise. He also has blamed family members for taking advantage of his generosity. Vick's cousin, Davon Boddie, was living at the home at the time of the raids.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Ain't no way the league's gonna let a chunk of their franchise as huge as Vick get busted. I guarantee it. They have too much money invested in him and can afford to cover up whatever they need to.

    Great choice of words for the title.


    1st Source sues scandal-bitten NFL player Vick
    Suit filed over $2 million in loans for his car rental agency.

    MARTI GOODLAD HELINE
    Tribune Staff Writer

    SOUTH BEND -- 1st Source Bank has filed a federal court lawsuit against Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick claiming he and his company failed to repay loans exceeding $2 million.

    The loans were made this year to a Georgia company known as Divine Seven, LLC, of which Vick is listed as chief financial officer/member on loan documents.

    The purpose of the loans was to finance many vehicles for a car rental agency near Atlanta.


    One of the addresses listed for Divine Seven in court papers is the address of Payless Car Rental in College Park, Ga., according to an Internet search.

    Vick, of Hampton, Va., has been in the news often because of his guilty plea last month to federal charges related to dogfighting.

    He also was indicted this week on state charges in Virginia related to dogfighting and ordered confined to his home at night because of a positive marijuana test.

    The South Bend lawsuit came to light Thursday after being filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court here by attorney Patrick Murphy of the firm Boveri, Murphy, Rice and LaDue in South Bend.

    The suit contends that Divine Seven and Vick have refused to pay loans as required by the security agreements they signed with 1st Source Bank.

    1st Source says in the suit it has suffered damages of at least $2 million as a result of the Divine Seven's breach of the loan security agreement and Vick's breach of a guaranty of payment he signed.

    John Griffith, general counsel for the bank, said 1st Source finances car rental companies around the country.

    For many people, the fact that Michael Vick is involved in this lawsuit may make it noteworthy, added Griffith. But overall, "we don't see any big impact."

    Documents filed with the case show the amount borrowed to finance a wide variety of vehicles exceeds $2 million.

    Court documents show loan papers signed Jan. 31 with Vick's signature and that of Arthur Washington, the chief executive officer of Divine Seven.

    Amended agreements for more money were signed in February and April.

    In addition, the defendants entered into a loan assumption agreement in January with the bank for about $420,000 in previously existing loans for vehicles, court documents show.

    The suit says a written demand for payment was made Aug. 24 but was not honored.

    Griffith told the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette that many of the vehicles have been repossessed, which will limit Vick's financial exposure from the suit.

    A phone call to a number for Divine Seven was answered late Wednesday afternoon by a woman in the car rental office in College Park, Ga. She said there was no one there who could comment.

    No home number could be found for Vick.

    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Tuesday that a Canadian bank has sued Vick in federal court in Virginia claiming he defaulted on a $2.5 million line of credit he took out to use to invest in real estate.

    He's also being sued by the Royal Bank of Canada for defaulting on a 2.3 million dollar loan.
