NFL player Michael Vick made a statement today regarding his part in an illegal dogfighting ring, apologizing to everyone and saying that he’s found Jesus. TMZ reports:
Vick wasn’t specific about the acts he was sorry for, but declared, “Dogfighting is a terrible thing. I reject it.” Between apologies to everyone from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank – to all the kids who used to look up to him, Vick declared that he’s found Jesus and has turned his life over to God. “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. I totally ask for forgiveness and understanding as I move forward to be a better Michael Vick the person, not the football player.”
Clearly Michael Vick’s publicist is unaware that the whole “I found Jesus” angle might not be the best route these days. Especially considering every celebrity that finds him also happens to be a complete asshole who got drunk and then accidentally killed a guy. Besides, considering what he’s done you’d think Vick wouldn’t want God to exist. Otherwise he’ll probably end up having an unpleasant encounter with a pit bull named Snuggles by week’s end. Did I mention Snuggles is a bit of a Viagra fiend?
UPDATE: Apparently the Atlanta Falcons didn’t have the balls to cut Vick so they’re keeping him on the team. They announced in a statement: “We cannot tell you today that Michael is cut from the team. It may feel better emotionally, but it’s not in the long term best interest of our franchise.”
Vick is an assh*le. All he’s sorry about is the potential loss of his $22MM signing bonus and his career. He says nothing original…he doesn’t possess the intelligence…everything he says is totally scripted by his lawyers and he just reads it like a tv reporter reads from the teleprompter. There’s no inherent sincerity eminating from Vick a/k/a Ron Mexico. His agent stands to lose million$ because the Falcons want his bonus back….do you blame them? He’s a lowlife scum who should be subjected to the same torture that he orchestrated over the dogs he killed…soak him down and let him suck on a few hundred volts.
How convenient. I love how these piece of shit celebs miraculously and coincidentally find Jesus immediately after doing something illegal and fucked-up. I don’t buy it for a second and I think it’s insulting to anyone with half a brain. Does anyone seriously believe that this sick fuck could torture and kill at least 8 dogs with his bare hands by drowining, electrocution, hanging, beating, etc. and even have the capacity to feel remorse? The only regret he feels is for getting caught. He’s a selfish evil bitch who should get what he deserves: mauling by rabid pitt bull. But what will he get instead? A slap on the wrist and the continued employment by the Falcons, who care more about having high scores on their games then supporting an evil murderer. I’m boycotting all Falcon games from here on out, and if I ever see Vick I swear to God I will punch him right in his fucking ugly sneering face. GO TO HELL VICK, YOU MAKE ME SICK.
@52, Ally:
Exactly. It’s one thing to shoot a dog in the head because they’re bad for business, and a completely different thing to experiment with different ways of killing them, all hideously painful. Both are horrid and deserve severe punishment, but the second is so evil it’s incomprehensible. It’s just in another league of cruelty and inhumanity altogether. The way Vick and his asshole friends treated those dogs is eerily reminiscent of the Nazi medical experiments on the Jews. Fucker deserves the electric chair.
#47 Rick: And you believe everything people tell you, right?? I hope for your religion’s sake you are not the spokesperson, cuz you come across as one dumb motherfucker! Naivete, thy name is Richard. This is a classic case of good PR 101. The person above who wrote about the typical “stages” an athlete/politician/celebrity goes through when caught in a scandal is exactly correct. Unfortunately, there will be stupid Americans who will eat up his “I found Jesus” crap. Well, Mr. Vick certainly found Jesus awfully QUICKLY and rather CONVENIENTLY….don’t you think?? Eh, Rick, don’t you think? Oh, and Paris Hilton has found Jesus too and is in Africa right now helping those less fortunate…a veritable Mother Theresa she is….oh wait, PH is at Hyde partying until 6 in the morning. Oops.
You have been found out as a complete scumbag. Your reputation in in ruins, your fans are turning against you and you face possible legal action.
Do you …
1. Find Jebus ?
2. Go to another country to ‘find yourself’ ?
3. Claim to have anger issues and to be taking steps to resolve them ?
4. Claim to have a drug addiction and be taking steps to overcome it ?
5. Be completely honest and decent for once in your life and face the music ?
If you answered 5 you are unfit to be an American celebrity, please report to your nearest call center or fast food vendor for employment.
Well if there is a god, lets hope Michael Vick has a nice hot seat in hell that looks remrakably like a rape stand !!
#56
Yeah…let’s hope so….and it may be his own brother Marcus who’s doing the raping of Mike/Ron Mexico, the herpes king.
The gawd-jesus-immaculate.conception-noahs.arc-genesis story is a crock of shit fairytale! It’s about as plausible as santa-toothfairy-easterbunny myths.
Considering the babble contains gawds instructions for slavery, among other things, I find it especially ironic to see so many blacks thumping it
and believing in the absurd book fabricated,written and edited by men.
Someone mentioned Hitler…Adolph Hitler was christian to the core. Don’t believe it? Then read Mein Kampf and do some research instead of simply believing what every Swaggart, Baker and Falwell tell you. Hitler claimed he was doing gawds work. And the churches across Europe turned a cold shoulder to what was going on in the concentration camps. After all, they believed the Jews killed their messiah.
Religion = opiate for the masses
Jesus saves…. by using coupons and shopping wisely.
It’s awesome to see so many peeps are appalled by this senseless animal cruelty. Vick the dick is deserves to die a slow, torturous, painful death.
And fuck anyone that uses the “they’re just dogs” argument (although I don’t think there’s anyone on this post like there was on Friday’s). Reading about what Vick the Dick & his shithead cronies did to those dogs makes any human with compassion cringe. He’s a disgusting fuck.
question: how is what he’s done immature? that’s really not the correct vocabulary for this type of behavior.
hey dick, it’s not okay for anyone of any age to abuse animals. fucking retard probably doesn’t even know what immature means.
Truly a sign of the times!

The Falcons don’t want to cut him due to implications on their salary cap. It’s financially beneficial for them to keep him on the roster until spring 2008.
Jesus – everybody seems to be concerned with where I am.
For the record:
I just left Chicago, and I’m bound for New Orleans.
Yeah yeah.
I know he didn’t really find Jesus. Jesus would have stuck a cattle prod up his ass and pushed him into a bathtub.
Amen AmeriCanadian!
No. Fucking. Way.
You guys are putting him in prison because of DOGS?!?!
You read the bible, Ringo? Book of Genesis? “Dominion” ring a bell for any of you fucks?
I told my Dad: You’re making them total fucking pussies. But He didn’t listen. And now this. Jesus. You don’t have to be the fucking Holy Spirit to see this one coming a mile away…
#54 Mabbo… (and others) thanks for the comment. And no, I don’t believe everything everyone tells me. Do you?
But, considering neither of us can look into a person’s heart and see what has happened for real…all I was saying was that is was credible that someone in the pit like Mike Vick is, might for once really get serious with God. When you have lived a charmed life ever since your junior year in high school, and made the money and gained the influence that he has… well, undoubtedly in comparison… what he is going through is a form of hell (again in comparison)… And given how disgusting/revolting his behavior has been, if he did have an encounter with God… and did get a clear picture of how horrible he has been with these actions… well it might lead to a change of life, huh?
But I do understand PR 101 as well and can certainly share your (and others’) skepticism.
You are also right (probably) about PH… But new Christians aren’t perfect, so they still mess up… They don’t act like mature individuals instantly…
Only time will tell on any of these high profile ‘conversions’ whether they are real or not…
But last time I checked, its not your job nor mine to judge Michael Vick’s eternal destination. That IS God’s Job still…
Vick is a Douch-Bag. They should confiscate all his property , sell it, and use the money to spoil the dogs for the rest of their lives. That would be a fitting end to this mess. Oh, I Just found Jesuse too.
Just keep successfully faking that sincereity, Mike, and you’ve got it made.
Just another uneducated( You know DAMN WELL he didn’t get any sort of real education while in college, except in drugs and sex ), self-absorbed athlete from the ghetto, making undeserved tens of millions of dollars, lives a sleazy lifestyle, then, when that lifestyle proves self-destructive,claims they got religion,while never really taking responsibility for things he was grossly guilty of.
The hubris….the hubris…..
Just keep faking that sincerity,Mike, and you’ve got it made.
What a jackoff. He’s only sorry he got caught. Keep it real in prison asswipe. He had such a chance that few get and he fucked it up, HAHAHAHA jackoff!
LOSER!
did he pray with jessie jackson
i hate this black bullshit
What bullsh*t! I wouldn’t expect anything less from this fool. This is one more reason for me to hate athletes. Athletes like Vick that is. Which makes up a good portion of the professional athlete population.
He is just one more irresponsible, money spending, baller wanna be that has to do something as disgraceful as dog fighting to feel like a man. I saw some moron defended Vick and DMX by stating he grew up in the “hood” and dogs fought all the time. This is somehow supposed to justify illegally gambling and putting bets on dog fights with money he is supposed to “deserve” for running up and down a field….
Let’s really think about this people…anyone retarded enough to defend someone such as Vick hopefully rots in hell and stops breathing someday real soon, because you are truly a waste of oxygen, leave it for the nice people in this world!!!!!
Go try to find Jesus when you are rotting in Hell, you piece of shit MV!!!
I wanna see you go to prison for the 5 years +, and I want you to never play football again. You deserve nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You ruined your life…why? Because you are a greedy heartless bastard. Your a pig and a loser and the world hates you now. So go crawl under the hole from which you came and never return, because I never want to see your UGLY face ever again!!!!!!!!!
As if Jebus wanna be found by him? I hate it when people use God for their sake (Bush anyone).
Rot in hell a-hole. I hope he goes to prison for a realy long time and get ass-raped 24/7.
Vick. He’s a smart dog-killing sociopath. He knows shit, See. When you commit any type of crime, you “find” god immediately. The reason for this is because people actually believe that a person can be influenced by this little red-guy that resides deep within the bowels of the earth. The “Devil”, or “Lucifer” or some bullshit. He finds “Jesus”, and through the sheer power of whatever it is Jesus does (fellatio?), becomes righted. He’s righteous. Michael Vick is then vindicated. Once he listens to his lawyers and pulls the race card out of his asshole, by god (literally), his trial will be aquitted, and Mr. Vick can go back to being the same piece-of shit asswipe he always was. I hope Vick dies soon.
This guy still has issues, how many damn times did he refer himself in a 3rd person? Michael Vick needs to better him self, Michael Vick found jesus, Michael Vick is so sorry..
Jimmy: “So what do you want to see Jimmy about?”
Elaine: “Well…. (pointing at him) Jimmy!”
Jimmy: “Huh uh…”
Elaine: “About tonight hum.. there’s been a little misunderstanding.”
Jimmy: “Ah! … Jimmy doesn’t like misunderstanding.”
Elaine: “Yeah. What happened was….”
Jimmy: “Jimmy and misunderstanding kinda clash.”
Elaine: (suddenly intrigued) “You know, I’ve never heard anyone talk the way
you do. It’s very unusual.”
Jimmy: “Well, Jimmy’s very unusual.”
Jeez, he sure found Jesus fast; Seems a little too convenient. I don’t get it, I thought the NFL told him to fuck off? And yet the Falcon’s might let him play anyways? Don’t get how that works. But I just love another poster’s idea to let him play, but penalize him everytime he fucks up by doing the same things to him that he did to those poor dogs.
I’m so tired of black subculture..
Jimmy might have a compound fracture! Jimmy’s goin’ into shock!
I just read about this on GlobalGrind’s myspace blog (blog.myspace.com/theglobalgrind) and I’m so sick of Michael Vick. I think he’s just saying this and apologizing because he knows his entire reputation is RUINED and no one will ever respect him again..
wow, this jesus guy is going to get a really bad rep if he keeps hanging out with people* like vick and paris hilton. and jessica simpsons dad. my grandma always said ‘its all in the company you keep’… i bet shes having coctails with jesus right now…
* may not actually be people due to lack of souls and intelligence.
Whenever someone is in trouble and suddenly “finds god”, it always seems to be the same god as most of the people in the society that is judging him believe in. If he was in India he would have suddenly found Ganesh.
mv is a piece a garbage that happens to be alive. It should be stomped out. I wish I could be the one who does it. “vick the it” s horrors have shortened my life. I have been exposed to horror I never knew existed. vick is from hell for sure.
I hope someday in the future I can be the one who decides his fate. It will be more than ugly and will last for eternity. I hate “its” guts. Too bad his mother had consensual sex with satan. mv is what popped out under the rock. I look so forward to pouring pis& on his grave.
God, I look forward to the day he gets what he deserves. I pray it is not quick. “it” is a devil, a spawn of satan, who deserves the very worst of what we can mete out to him.
Hello Everyone
I am completely new to blogging.I happened to come to this site b/c i heard about vick and decided to investigate. After I read the story whcih is depicting vick’s newfound relationship as fake and a publicity stunt, i went ahead to read the comments. Let me say,I am truly saddened by what everyone had to say. I am a believer in Jesus. I was never famous or had much but i lived how i wanted (a sinner)…cursing,clubbing,whatever…till my boyfriend broke my heart and i felt like my life was over. But u know what…God allowed that to happen so i could seek him. Seriously guys when you lose so much…there’s nobody left to turn to but God. The only perfectNESS. Basically,Im not sayin i condone anything this man has done but he’s asking for forgivness and we shouldn’t be so quick to judge and play it down. There’s only one judge that is just and can do it. EVERYBODY has done terrible things…even if we’re the only ones that know about it…but God does too…Vick’s mistakes were just public…im sure if our lives were dug into…it wouldn’t be clean…we all sinners and we all need salvation so please don’t ever feel the need to try to condemn anyone to hell. That’s a big wage and i urge everyone to pray and seek purpose and salvation because life is short and everything we have will perish…we cant take it to the grave. Don’t focus on what you can see with your eyes right now…focus on the unseen HEAVEN…every’s jesus believer’s hope…SORRY FOR ALL DAT PREACHING….i cant sit back and not saying anything…IF anyone disagress im truly sorry. cuz ur not disagreeing wit me….this is not MY truth but THE truth…and my cite is THE HOLY BIBLE….be blessed.
Relax guys. It’s not like he did an OJ and killed human beings. It’s just dogs. The world will go on… it’s just dogs.
Does he expect any pity for having said, “I found Jesus.”? He knew what he was doing was wrong and immoral WHILE he was doing it, little late to be playing the God card.
