Michael Vick filed his plea today, pleading guilty to conspiracy in the Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting ring. In it, he admits to being the brains (a term I’m using loosely) and the money man behind the whole kit-and-kaboodle.
Vick likely saved his future NFL career by denying ever placing side bets on the dog fights and skillfully sidestepping the horrendous dog murdering allegations by saying that the “dogs all died as a result of the collective efforts” of him and his boys (who sold his ass out) which is basically like saying the subprime meltdown happened because risk was spread out over all the private hedge fund investors and that it’s not any one person’s fault; it was the fault of the system.
Vick is also going to provide information to help the government bust up other dog fighting operations in hopes that he might get a lighter sentence. I’m not sure but I think on the street, that means that he’s turning snitch. That’s wicked gangsta but just on the informant side. Ironic, no?
Anyway, am I the only one who feels gyp’d by this? Kind of like the famous Jason Giambi steroids press conference a few years back where he kept apologizing but wouldn’t exactly say what he was apologizing for?
As AliKat says, “You bet on the underdogs, not dog fighting.”
And what does Kige Ramsey have to say?
