Michael Vick has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge for his role in managing an illegal dogfighting ring, and will formally enter his guilty plea Monday. The Smoking Gun reports:

As part of a plea deal, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback admitted that his Bad Newz Kennels operation wagered money–which he provided–in pit bull fights. However, “Vick did not gamble by placing side bets on any of the fights,” according to a “summary of the facts” that was filed today in court. That document, a copy of which you’ll find below, also notes that Vick “was aware” that three of his cohorts killed several dogs that performed poorly in test fighting sessions in mid-2002. The summary reports that “Vick did not kill any dogs at this time.” Earlier this year, Vick, and two cronies “agreed to the killing of approximately 6-8 dogs” that fared poorly in testing sessions at his Smithfield, Virginia property. Some of the animals were drowned or hanged, and Vick “stipulated” that the animals died via the “collected efforts” of himself, and codefendants Quanis Phillips and Purnell Peace. Both Phillips and Peace previously pleaded guilty to federal charges and stated that Vick participated in the execution of eight dogs last April. Vick faces a maximum of five years in prison for his conspiracy conviction.

To be fair, sometimes dogs can be really scary and the only thing to do is to kill them cruelly. One time I was walking down the street and a dog barked at me and I got really scared and I wished somebody as brave as Michael Vick was around to drown him. He’s a hero to stand up to those mean dogs!

    first!!

  2. BIGsteamyONE

    What a dumb ass !

  3. george

    That’s the problem, though. They weren’t mean -enough-, so he killed them cruelly.
    WHo the hell HANGS a dog? Oo;;;

  4. chiccup

    if he doesn’t get the maximum or close to it, it’ll be pathetic. the courts want to make an example of people like martha stewart and paris hilton, and this asshole will probably get the minimum. these are the kind of freaks that we need to be making examples of. you have to be a serious sicko to do the things he “allegedly” did. sick-o with a capital S!

  5. shannon

    I’d like to think he had ass rapings coming his way once he’s in prison but unfortunately everyone in there will be the type of people that love him.

  6. Hate this waste of space. And according to insiders in the dogfighting world, Vick is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to celebs (mostly athletes) involved in this barbarism.

    He likes dogfighting so much? Well why not give him his own justice? Put him in a ring with a dozen dogs he has trained for a few hours, and if he survives, he can go free.

    Fish writer; I’m disappointed in you…if you’re gonna make fun of something as serious as animal abuse and dogs being anally electricuted, you better make it damn, damn funny and you better make sure the bad guy looks like a really pathetic idiot and the bastard coated bastard that he is. You failed here! And you gotta know that some idiots out there are going to take what you said seriously and think “Yeh! Mike Vick is cool, and its cool to torture defenseless animals!” Which is NOT true! Mike Vick sucks, animals rule. I wish they would throw Vick’s ass into a pit with a bunch of pissed off pit bulls, and see how he fairs. But then I suppose violence is not the answer…let karma take care of his ass.

  10. kkk

    get burned u stupid nigga! or go back to africa !! we don’t do anything exotic like that in here! fuck you vick the black shit!

  11. The Truth

    Correction, not mostly “athletes”, but predominatly, BLACK ” AFF-LETES”. I have yet to hear one white athlete stand up for this crud, while dopes with rolexes like Stefon Marbury and other “pillars” of the black community stand ignorantly and unashamedly in defense of him.

    It’s ok black people, we’re all in on the fact that some of you are just as bad as us. No need to go down with these damn fools when you dont have to….

  12. Morgan (not my real name)

    WHO CARES??? They’re pit bulls. I hope the judge gives him a medal instead of jail. Also, him staying out of the prison would be a positive thing for the community, as he could kill more of these shitty dogs.

  13. Ooba Gooba

    Here comes some more celebrity justice…….

  14. JrsyGrl

    What a POS. And Morgan (not your real name), you are just as much of a POS.

    Disgusting human beings.

  15. Ambrse311

    !@ #13 What do you mean “who chares – they are pit bulls”!!! I happen to own a pit and have know plenty of folks w/ pit (I’m white btw). A FUCKING CHIHUAHUA COULD BITE YOUR EYE OUT AS QUICK AS A PIT CAN BITE YOUR ASS IF YOU TRAIN IT TO! People are scared of pits b/c assholes like Vick torture these animals to fight to live. They will fight these dogs to the death…if it means they win some money. Also, pits have jaws that lock, if you bothered to do some research, Pits do not have a mean temper, they were bred to watch farms and protect but they have the personality of a lap cat! They are sweet natured animals unless you fucking raise them not to be. My point is – fuck you – PITS ROCK! And anyone that is fighting them or any other animal should be slowly tortured to death themselves!

  16. Ambrse311

    Nothing pisses me off more than people that want to “ban pit bulls” or whatever b/c of bullshit they hear. Try owning one then you’ll know that they are not monsters. They truley are sweet natured and just want to love. They are just strong and powerful dogs. It’s like saying “let’s terminate all large men who have any sort of training that would allow them to kill you w/ their bare hands”. Fucking moron #13 YOU SUCK BALLS!

  17. I don’t know who this is but what a cunt. I agree with frick. America is a beautiful country full of stupid shits. I think anyone who lacks that kind of empathy for another animal like themselves must be psychopathic and was probably raped up the arse by his own mother as a child.

  18. 12:51

    # 10 this is mainly a sarcastic website that is not to be taken seriously if any one does they need to get help .

    #13 … your a cunt . i know a pitbull and he is the most loving animal i have ever met … the only thing i have seen him agresive towards are bees but thats because one stung him.

  19. Vick is gonna love his cell mate named Butch…

  20. pissy skank

    Fuck YOU #13– I have a pit & he’s the sweetest dog in the world. And FUCK ya’ all that support Vick the DICK! This isn’t a black thing dipshits– it’s a cruelty issue, whether you’re black, white, red or fuckin’ purple it doesn’t make it right.

    #7– RIGHT ON!!

  21. stacie

    Michael Vick should be stripped naked, bathed in meat juice and tossed into a crocodile pit.

  22. Kristen Dei from LA (Louisiana that is)

    Why is no one addressing what #11 said? How ignorant!!! That hatred and ill-will toward ANY human being (even if it is a dog-killing human being) should not be tolerated! That comment made my skin crawl and disgusts me, and I am a white female. Erase racism!!! And #11(kkk), educate yourself because as it stands, all you sound like is trailor park trash without a second grade education….

  23. ssdd

    Oh man .. I don’t even need to get started on this subhuman piece of shit beast. Don’t know where to start..nor where to end.

    With that being said … Have a great weekend you guys….
    And nice work this week Fish… ~cheers to you~…………

  24. Mayumi

    I agree with #23. I really hope #11 was just joking. And if he was just joking, it wasn’t funny. It’s people like that I want to run over with my car. And I’m asian, so it’s very possible because I can’t drive.

  25. JS

    I say VIK needs to be anally electrocuted for performing poorly. What a complete f-ing idiot.

  26. yolatengo

    i own an 89 lb pit (adopted her) and a 6 lb toy poodle. the poodle runs the show…she bullies and chases my put away from food, snacks and hugs…my pitbull is the MOST even-tempered, sweetest dog i’ve ever met. Her only ‘fault’ is that she needs to please all the time.. that’s why shit-heads like Vick fight them, b/c they are very much into pleasing their ‘people’.. i whish someone would give Vick some fo the crap he dished out to these beutiful animals

  27. Cowgirl formerly a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader (not really)

    I would be nervous if I was one of his football cronies. What if you sack him and he comes back with an electric prod! Oiu!

  28. Yo

    It’s jacked you the way those dogs where trained.
    Here a link to the “you tube” video showing some of the training, alegedly that’s Vick in the video;

  29. Me

    I sure hope Vick gets it up the ass in jail. OR, maybe eaten alive by a pit bull would be more appropriate

  30. stacie

    How bout beaten to death in a prison shower with a mop handle like Jeffery Dahmer?

  31. Cowgirl lynch mob leader

    #10, I like to think of ridiculing guys like Vick as a fun throw back to the days when you used to “tar and feather” criminals. Ridicule them and embarrass them to the point that hopefully they will stop or at least stop pulling in those $100 bills ya’ all! If it is possible for him to blush and cringe I want to see it mf’r!

  32. Mike

    #29
    I think you’re right. I think that is Vick.

  33. Malffy Hernandes

    How do you hang a dog?

  34. Caroline

    Remember that these are poor defensless animals. That stupid tosser should be hanged himself when he doesn’t “perform”. I hope he gets ass-raped in prison

  35. Alexandria

    its ridiculous that innocent dogs have to die because people get KICKS out of watching dogs fight..which isnt even entertaining(its SICK)…
    but there is an upside,,he is pretty good looking…lmao!
    Gotta LOVE Chocolate Men…YUM!

    even tho hes a dog killer :S

  36. Truth Too

    Don’t blame poor Mike, it’s not his fault…

    “But such an uncomplicated view of intelligence–one that esteems IQ scores and raw mental power–has had at least one awkward consequence for the Davidson Academy: it doesn’t mirror America. Twenty-six of the 45 students are boys; only two are black. (A total of 16 are minorities.) The school is unlikely ever to represent girls and African Americans proportionately because of a reality about IQ tests: more boys score at the high end of the IQ scale (and, it should be said, more score at the low end; girls’ IQ variance is smaller). And for reasons that no one understands, African Americans’ IQ scores have tended to cluster about a standard deviation below the average–evidence for some that the tests themselves are biased.*”

    *Or maybe they’re just stupid

    #23 I agree completely, it is wrong to stereotype.
    #25 Ha Ha!!! You are so funny, with a name like Mayumi it is very apparent that you are Asian.

    Now if you will all excuse me, I have to go count my pennies because I am a Jew.
    Mazal Tov!!!!

  38. Ooba Gooba

    I hope they string this bastard up, but I’m pretty cynical when it comes to justice for these celebrities. Somehow, someway, I still think this is only going to make him more money in the long run. I hope not, but if you can play a sport well, you will get chance after chance after chance.

    I won’t be convinced he’s going to jail until I see him in an orange jumpsuit with chains on both his hands and feet being led away. Jesse Jackson is going to be raising all kinds of hell about this.

    Have none of you pit bull owners ever read their history? I hate dog fighting but the truth is they have no need to be trained to fight. They will do it on their own without any encouragement. They want to fight each other so bad, they will sit there and CRY while the owner holds them off another pit bull. I have relatives who own pit bulls (and fought them briefly, using a “breaker bar” of solid steel to pry their mouths apart when locked in a bite on another dog in order to get them off each other). My problem with Michael Vick is not just the dog fighting, it is the much bigger crime of his torturing those poor dogs to death and I hope he goes general population for several years.

  40. I wish they’d ban his serial-killing ass from pro football FOR LIFE. What a douchebag.

  41. Illuzhen

    @ #13 – You are quite possibly the most ridiculous pseudo human being alive that I can remember of late – do you even realize how you sound to other people you ignorant bigot minded piece of shit mis-fuck? Your parents should join Mike Vick and go hang themselves for producing a fucking retard like you. I am not a personal pitt bull owner but your comment is out of line nonetheless. You know what else is illegal? Murder – but somehow I don’t think anyone would CARE either if it was done to you, you ignorant fuck.
    After your ass is toasted, I will be sure to write a memorial here saying ‘Who the fuck cares – it was Morgan (not real name)’…..An excellent commentary.
    Go swallow a knife.
    Re: Vick, his cruelty is not depictive of real sportsmanship, and sets the wrong example for children growing up thinking he’s a sports hero. He isn’t, he’s a class F human being and needs definitive maximum punishment. Cruel motherfucker.

  42. Ooba Gooba

    I just had a thought…….all this news has knocked Twitney Spears out of the headlines…….now I wonder if she will try to get herself arrested for dog fighting to keep her name in the news…….I wouldn’t put it past her……

  43. g

    oy, jst like a guy who had to wear CHICKEN costume for doing some shit against the Chickens,,, he should be put in like a prison cell with BEARS or something..
    its obvious that sportsmen like him come from lower class with no decent education..

  44. Simona

    At Illuzhen #42 -
    BRAVO. You speak very well, very articulate! And it’s the truth!

    That is absolutely true about that mother fucker Morgan (#13). How could anyone say shit like that and think it’s right or that it even makes sense?
    He or she, whatever the fuck gender they are should get the same fate as
    those poor canines.
    NO DOG, regardless or history, breed or stereotype should be treated in that manner, and live in those conditions.
    #13, you psychotic piece of garbage, keep your mouth shut, saying shit like that in today’s world to the wrong person can get you killed.
    And I’d be happy to volunteer. I sincerely hope a pitt bull (enraged) tears your fucking face out for DUE CAUSE reasons, i.e. you were trying to electrocute it.
    Shitty dogs? You’re a turd, so I guess you would know.

  45. woodhorse

    #16 Smart money is on me against a chihuahua.

  46. SOFIA

    morgan- its ignorant fucks like you that make what vick did seem justifiable. only someone who is mentally unstable would DROWN or HANG a dog.. just think about the concept of hanging a domesticated animal– one that many people count on to protect their homes and families and even share their beds with. maybe you should try educating yourself honey.. the number one reason people fight pits– contrary to popular belief that they are “violent” as a breed– is because they have the combination of a VERY high pain threshold (just like mastiffs and rottweilers) and beyond loyal personalities.. they will literally act upon how they are trained. if you train them to fight for their lives, they will do exactly so– right to the death. this makes for a prize fighting dog.. and is ALWAYS the case when they so-called “turn” on their owners.

  47. Vick should die

    He should be murdered in jail and THEN there will be justice.

  48. Frick

    I’d say that #11 and #13 were just trying to get people riled up with their stupid comments and are not even serious. I hope blacks/african americans (not sure whats pc anymore) don’t truly believe that most whites feel that way, because we don’t. If you’re a decent human being, thats what matters, not your skin color. And from what Vick has done he is NOT a decent human being. I understand that some people in certain areas of the world were raised to have much less regard for animals…so maybe there is still hope for Vick and he will change his errant ways. Let’s hope so. And there is much speculation about the pit bull breed. I think it all comes down to how an animal is treated. #40, you say pit bulls want to fight; well look at the example you gave; that your relatives had pit bulls that always wanted to fight…well duh, you also mentioned that those relatives used to fight them. So if you bring out that side in any animal, then maybe it is something they become inclined to do; espc when provoked. But if you don’t, then they probably remain the sweet and loving animal that they were meant to be. #19, I know this is a sarcastic website. But as you can see from the other posters, this topic gets a lot of people upset; they are not all just posting sarcastic comments. Nothing pisses me off more than animal abuse. Oh, and you need to go take an English class. And hey, you got so pissed off at #13′s comment; relax, its only a sarcastic website, no need to start throwing the C word around…maybe you need to get some help???

  49. Morgan (not my real name)

    Pit Bull Owners = Poor Ghetto Trash, 100% of the time. Sorry, 99% to account for whoever the hell this black dude is. I was under the impression that they could be purchased through food stamps?

    Enjoy your bait, losers.

    OMG YOU CAN’T SAY THAT ON THE INTERNET, BAN, BAN! THIS IS A SERIOUS NEWSWORTHY SITE! CONTACT THE AUTHORITIES! LOLZOMFGROFLOMG

    Excuse me while I go back to enjoying my Saturday morning halfway around the world from you fucking losers.
