Federal prosecutors have offered Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick a deal that includes a recommendation that he serve at least one year in prison on felony dogfighting conspiracy charges, the Virginian-Pilot reported today.
The fallen NFL star, who has been charged with violating federal dogfighting laws, has been considering a possible plea deal since Wednesday. Vick reportedly has until Friday at 9 a.m. to decide whether he will agree to the deal.

Vick Under Different Kind of Pressure
Vick has delayed his decision, because he is waiting to hear back from the NFL as to how a guilty plea would affect his NFL career, according to a report in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Vick is the only defendant left in the case that has not yet agreed to a plea deal. Tony Taylor, 34, pleaded guilty and accepted a deal last month. Quantis Phillips, 28, and Purnell Peace, 35, are expected to accept plea deals when they appear in court Friday.
All three men reportedly have agreed to testify against Vick.
Meanwhile, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said he will wait until the NFL concludes its own investigation into the allegations to decide Vick's fate.
Earlier this week, the NFL denied information posted in a report on Yahoo Sports stating that Vick had been suspended from the upcoming regular season. So far, Vick has been banned only from attending the Falcon's training camp.
While visiting the Detroit Lions Thursday, Goodell also said that Vick and the dogfighting scandal is not "overshadowing the season."
"We're going to do what we always said we were going to do, which is rely on the facts," Goodell said. "If there is some type of a plea agreement, then we will obviously take the time to understand what that plea is, and we'll see how it fits into our personal conduct [policy]."
If Vick does not agree to a deal, prosecutors have said they plan to bring more charges against him and will hand down a superseding indictment later in the month.
Vick could still make a deal with respect to these additional charges, but prosecutors are likely to be less lenient the second time around.

Yup, this is pretty heinous but rats suck in your book so I will keep mum? Fuck you punk!!! I'd drop a mad dime on you just as soon as I finished redecorating your mug w/a meat tenderizer.... >:(

Vick will deal, he doesn't want to rot in jail. All the money he is losing is incredible.

He'll deal because he's in a box, and will go to jail either way. He has enough money now that he'll be just fine.

You do realize Vick is on record telling the press that it was them and he had no idea and the cops should do what they need to do, but he had no part of it?

yeah but he won't enough prison as much as you would... we all know you crave an o-lineman for a roommate... to have and to hold...

he'll go to club fed and meet drug money launderers, credit card criminals and nice folks like that. good contacts.

i think they are going to make an example of Vick, no slap on the wrist-once he pleas they arent going to let up. This think has too much media attention.

Exactly. Now I'm all for loyalty, but Wrong Is Wrong.

different situation. - I get your point and your motives in doing so. BUT all of these people were involved with it. If you are going to use your example you wouldn't be involved with the act. These people are all looking to get out of the situation they are in and they plead guilty and blamed it on Vick.
I look at them as rats, they got the pins put into them and coughed up it's all Michael Vick. All the while they were involved, they can say whatever the prosecutor wants now.
At first and obviously vick's defence was deniability.
-
he should go to jail ,or put him in a cage with a couple of dogs.fuck him!!!!
-
Also it isn't as if these people went to police during the time of the dog fighting, the spilled the beans after they got busted. they aren't good samaritans. If these people went before hand then ok but they didn't

An acceptable rebuttal. But dont say "no matter how heinous the crime" cuz there are some lines you dont cross.

Had it not been for the white man's money, which supports the hefty salaries of the top NFL pros, Vick would be doing what exactly? Torturing animals to death and probably young, white females now and then.
It is amusing how great these NFL stars think they are. How they struggled so hard to pull themselves up out of the ghetto into fame and fortune. In reality, the entire NFL is funded >90% by nerdy white guys who buy products, tickets, and sport packages on TV in order to see the NFL games on Mon, Thur, Sat, Sunday. The tax payers pay for the stadiums as well. The "discipline" required to be a pro in the NFL today consist of man whoring, smoking pot, roids when you can, and playing wannabe gangsta.
Without these little money makers (white men who provide funding/tax revenue) watching the sport the players would make nothing. Just like 99% of probodybuilders.

thats the way the whole world works. Some ghetto thug walking around his neighborhood thinks he bad when the world is controlled and run by bankers and politicians who are so far removed from him that they barely, if they actually do at all, know he exists.

Well said my friend. Not that they can't behave because they can. Personally, I believe it mainly the ones in America who are the worst due to a variety of factors. All races have a barbaric side buried within them. Blacks just have to fight much, much harder to repress the barbarian within themselves. And those who do overcome it, more power to you.

Those racist Virginia bastards are trying to shove a jail deal down Vick's throat by offering up cash and prizes to his co-defendants (who happen to be the actual dog murderers). If Vick or his legal team can think or see clearly, they'll tell the DA to fuck himself and call the bluff and go to trial, because AIN'T NO WAY a Richmond jury has a chance of reaching a UNANIMOUS VERDICT to CONVICT one of their own.
I think Vick is scum, but making deals with 10 other scumbags to take a knockout shot at a celebrity is even worse.

Just seen on espn that vick might be taking the plea deal. ::)

Nope but be on the lookout for the Titans. Although the salary has us letting many players go we are going to win it all. Remember '99 but this time we are going to get the job done. 8)

I wouldn't take you as my defense attorney, Jason. He's playing the motherfuccking lottery if he takes this to trial. One year is absolutely nothing. He gets out, he's still an a-list quarterback skills-wise, some down-on-their-luck team will take him. Best case: in 5 years, nobody even remembers this.
Hell, even if he's innocent (which he's not), this is a sweethart deal. He'll be treated like royalty for the measly 12 months he's in "club fed". ::)

we will know by 9 am tommorow

That's okay "Goatboy". I wouldn't take you as a client. For real, has anyone on this planet ever served more than 3 months for a dogfighting charge? 2 months? I doubt it. This shit goes on everyday in the Confederacy and no one has ever cared. I love dogs but let's be real: Every day a million cows are shot in the head or are hung upside down by one leg to have their throats slit so we can eat a steak. We're all a bunch of hypocrites!

so did Vick eat the dog meat after the fight?
Aren't you supposedly some kind of laywer or something? You're compared slaughter for food to fighting dogs for sport?
LAME.

By your argument, if Vick did eat the dog meat, it'd be okay. Nice logic there.

Okay, maybe my post was a bit harsh, but seriously... you can't ignore the PR angle here. 80% of Americans want this guy's head on a platter. He's being offered a lifeline - he should take it.

I'm not arguing right or wrong... I'm arguing reality.
If it were strictly up to me, I agree w Special Ed... we're talking about animals, just like the kind we eat every day. They are nothing compared to a man's freedom. But unfortunately we live in a world full of sentimental low-IQ (from my perspective) numskulls.

:-\ never said it was OK, I said you are comparing two completely different situations. for a lawyer you sure are dumb. We as people slaughter and consume beef/pork/meat, we don't train cows to kill each other then place bets on it. Then take the losing cow and hang it by it's neck and beat it to death. These animals are slaughtered for a reason, food. These dogs were murdered for sport, do you see the difference, genius?
no wonder you aren't funny anymore, you've been dumbing yourself down to deal with the scum you set free.
-
Someone should put him in jail on stupidity alone. You're a fucking NFL starting quarterback and make a ton of money, yet you're screwing around with underground dog fights?
What a dumb ghetto rat. Some people are simply unintelligent. People with this wealth and IQ level, honestly frighten me. Don't even get me started on the rap community. ::)

Who cares what you think. You still use steroids but deny it. You are pathetic.

he's gonna take the plea, serve the time at club fed resume playing and become a model citizen. it's not a difficult decision. what he's gonna claim innocence, have tons evidence against him plus 5 witnesses who have plead guilty to a jury of common folks? sorry no jury is buying the BET defense. and what IS his defense, i'm making so much money i didnt know there was a RICO going on? he needs to STFU and do the time.
