would the world be any worse off if there were no native americans? we should probably take this convo to pm's as to not clutter up the thread any more than it already has been. because im pretty sure we can spin in this circle for quite a while. my point is that you don't get to invalidate the importance of a species or breed simply because you do not find them appealing.

The guy should get a year, do 6-9 months of it and have Peta after his ass forever, sorry a dogs life is not better than a persons life, regardless of circumstance.
Ding me if you want, that's my thoughts.

in some ways you are exactly right and in some ways you are a little off. i completely agree with you that some of the things vick has been charged with in the grand scheme of things are lower on the list than things others have gotten a slap on the wrist for in certain cases. however, i wonder if some of you fully understand what vick is being charged with. the dog fighting charge is but one of many and to be perfectly honest, not near the most serious of the charges. federal felonies, racketeering, tax evasion, etc... these aren't little kid charges. right wrong or indifferent these ARE charges that can nail you to the wall far harder than simply killing someone. they are after all the charges that were utilized to rip the still beating heart out of organized crime.
additionally, there is a big difference between beating the neighbors dog to death because it annoyed you and profiting off a business aimed at the mutilation and death of an animal(s). you could kill 100 dogs with your bare hands and get off with next to nothing, many have. but when you create an illegal organization that crosses state lines then fail to pay taxes on top of that.... be prepared to for sphincter molestation beyond anything you can image. mr. sam don't play those games.

the last thing I can find is that since his experiment as a kick returner has failed (and Teddy went to Miami), he was released by the Phins on May 1st.

After reading some of the material that 2 of the defendants stated in there guilty plea's, Vick is more than likely going to get a lifetime NFL ban on top of almost certain jail time. two of the defendants both stated they themselves and Vick were involved in 8 dog killings this year alone, by drowning and hanging. And that the Bad Newz Kennels operation and gambling monies were almost exclusively funded by Vick himself. No organization is going to even touch vick now (or when he is found guilty) of these allegations.

Not so fast my friend!. The biggest thing Vick has to worry about as far as the NFL goes is not the dog fighting. It is the gambling and the most I have heard about from the NFL is two years tops if Vick does what he is supposed to do. And that they have not decided if the suspension will be served at the same time as a prison sentence rather than after it.

A lot of the recent suspensions have been such that they only run if you're on a roster. When the Falcons cut Vick, he'll have to serve his time and have to convince a team to pick him and THEN serve his suspension. If he has to be on a roster to serve his suspension, that eliminates the situation of a team picking him up out of desperation to fill an immediate vacancy.
