Cat in the hat - great post, I agree with you man.

Sportz -
I'm saying he knew about it - no way he didn't know about the dog fighting and the betting - however the "atrocities" that have people going nuts (the drowning, hanging, rape stands, etc), I'm not so sure what he really knew of - because he didn't have too.

Your point is well taken on the dime bag business, but the feds better sure as hell be working as hard to nail sports bookie's and shit. I understand Vick is the shark, and is the guy you want to get - I get that, but there are greater things going on (I'll try to keep this from being political) that our attention (as a society) can and should be devoted too.

I think this is a case of how organizations when they really want to dial in on somebody, can be ridiuclously influental.

Again, Vick is at fault and whatever comes to him he deserves, I just think this is getting ridiculous and I'd hope that every major player in teh dogfighting world has the wrath of Peta and every other organization that has come down on Vick, get down on them

I guess my problem with all these cases of everyone ratting Vick out is that they get a deal and it will seem that Vick will get shit on. To me, being the fact that he is the financier of this horrible thing (and I believe he did participate in some of the dog tortures/killings) he obviously deserves what he gets as we all seem to agree on. However, why the hell are these guys getting deals, when they are the one's who directly carried out these acts of perversion? They are the ones who did this day in and day out without Vick's direct knowledge of every detail. Putting a historical angle on this, it's like the Nuremburg Trials and if all the generals and Hitler's cabinet were getting off with a perverbial slap on the wrist so they would rat out the one's they were really after. I forget the names of the one's who were ultimately hanged instead of committing suicide. I liken it to that. These guys should also be shown very little mercy if any at all.
