Mike Vick is back in the news:

Imprisoned quarterback Michael Vick is seeking bankruptcy protection, saying he owes between $10 million and $50 million to creditors.

Vick filed Chapter 11 papers in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newport News on Monday. The seven largest creditors listed in the court papers are owed a total of about $12.8 million. Vick is serving a 23-month prison sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas, after pleading guilty last year to bankrolling a dogfighting ring. He was subsequently suspended indefinitely without pay and lost all his major sponsors, including Nike. He also faces state charges related to dogfighting. According to the filing, the debt includes a $3.75 million prorated signing bonus the Atlanta Falcons are seeking to recover.

Poor thang.

    Did you know that companies in the US have said they would hire a white man with a felony record and no high school education BEFORE they would hire a black man with NO criminal record and a 4-year degree?

    On July 23 at 9pm and July 24 at 9pm, CNN will premier a series, ‘Black in America with Soledad O’Brien’ and I personally challenge you to watch it WITH your children, especially your sons, if you have any, uninterrupted. The aforemention statistic and many others will be revealed during the series.

    I had the privilege of meeting with Soledad O’Brien and actually SEEING this premier on Monday, and what I saw brought tears to my eyes and anguish, frustration, and a sense of helplessness to my soul.

    On Monday the series will focus on Women and Families and Tuesday is dedicated entirely to the plight of the Black Man in America .

    PLEASE watch and internalize what you see and hear; no matter HOW disturbing the information revealed

    Don’t worry Vick, you will get another contract. You just too talented for someone not to take a chance. Hope it’s the 49ers….

    Nope, the Niners don’t aprrove of black QB’s.

  • LaLaLaLovely

    Damn…. Now was the money from the dogfighting really worth it Vick?… They should have at least let him get his priorities straight before taking him to jail though… It’s not like he’s a murderer… T.I still aint went to jail on those gun charges… Oh well!

    OUCH!!! this is getting uglier by the day…..but I know he still has more money than I do…..

    Michael Vick’s story is a tragedy. Here is a man that has natural athletic prowess and was well paid for it. Michael made more money in one year than most of us will make in an entire working career of 40 years. Yet he CHOSE to squander his good luck, his money and his reputation for some cheap titillating thrill of dog fighting. He CHOSE to spend his money on cars, houses, women (child support), drugs and dog fighting.

    After all of this, he will have nothing to show for it. He’ll have to pick himself up and start all over again. Next time, if there is a next time…….we hope he’ll be smarter.

    Remember Michael Vick……….Michael Who?

  • http://www.google.com Man, I just don’t care

    He’s too rare a commodity not to get out and get another huge contract. If the NFL is paying him $100 mil. contracts think about how much they are making off of him.

    He’ll still be young and athletic enough to play. Look at Latrell Sprell and Pacman Jones.

  • Lou in the Chi

    He gets a year for bankrolling a dog fight. but two white marines are caught on tape throwing a dog over an overpass and laughing about it(they taped themselves) and all they got was a discharged from service. Justice in America.

  • sniper

    Too bad he couldnt get Chapter 7

  • bree

    ok, he better have some cash stashed somewhere..he can’t be that stupid..right?

  • http://www.gettogetha.com/blog/ Get Togetha

    And this too shall pass. Mike Vick is serving the time and will play again. Hell. He might even open up an A.S.P.C.A. cause I’m sure he’s sorry.

    Like someone said already; he got too much talent for someone not to take another chance on him. Whatever don’t kill you make you stronger.

  • I’m Just Me (I AIN’T WITH REDBONE N*GGAS)

    @ Lou in the Chi

    Are you for real? Daxn it is f*cked up out here. But we already know there is no real justice in America.

    I mean he is doing what he has to do to get it done, I guess.

  • soulwoman

    I don’t feel sorry for him…I believe he deserved to be punished…but I feel 23 months is way too long for such a crime. He was wrong, stupid, etc., etc…but, c’mon, I say by year end he needs to be released. You have murders running the streets that got off.

    Let Mike Vick go!

  • Lisa

    This bastard deserves everything he gets and more. He CHOSE to fund this illegal activity. So now he needs to pay and by the looks of it, he is.

  • P

    i think his punishment has been far too harsh, but that’s what happens when you get involved in that sort of thing. hopefully he can come back.

  • Shavon Denise

    Thats sad for one reason. This dude did not rape anyone (R.Kelly) did not murder anyone (NYPD/Sean Bell) and he is spending time in jail for dog fighting. A crime that is definately heinous but not as horrible as the aboved mentioned. To me he was used as a pawn, they made an example out of him and that isnt fair. Now this dude has been shun from the league & shun by the public when I feel like drunk driving is a worser crime than this.. i.e.. all these Hollywood folk get away with. Now dont get me wrong people & Peta, I believe that its despicable and I also feel that murdering innocent animals can lead to other heinous acts because most killers start out killing animals BUT… did he deserve all that time compared to more serious crimes taht have been committed, NO! I feel like Mike made his bad he is to blame all day but I feel like he is geting a raw deal.

  • bayouswampman

    Leonard Little is still playing football, Bush is still in office, numerous child offenders, the cops who killed Sean Bell, & countless other situations of people still on the streets after committing a crime & you lock this man up over some damn dogs? Hunting is legal in many places, neutralization of horses is fine when they are no more good, sharks & other oceanic animals are caught for sport, & coats, boots, belts, shoes, bags, etc. are made daily for the almighty dollar. If they are going to stress the cruelty to animals thing, go all the way & dont pick & choose the situations that are convenient.

    I am speaking on her. Hell no! You and me and normal people buy the snacks before you even crack that dutch. Maybe she shouldn’t have been high in the kitchen. And her voice was very whiny and annoying.

  • Nat Turna (MR. 704)

    Vick’s gonna be straight. he made a smart move by filing Chapter 11. they cant take what you dont have. 2010-2011 NFL season you will see him again. TRUST. He’s too good not to pick up. and whatever team picks him up knows that they can get him for a cheap price.

    GO PANTHERS!!!!

    @ Kzz

    When did this happen?

  • http://www.google.com Man, I just don’t care

    Vick is going to be right back. He’s 28 years old and could be realesed next May making him 29. Brett Favre recently “retired” at 39 years old after one of the best seasons of his career. He’ll probably get a short term deal in the $10-$20 mil range. The owner of the Falcons even said he would welcome him back. All depends on whether the state of Virginia presses seperate charges.

    The conviction may be for dogfighting but he was targeted for being in an upperclass neighborhood. The investigation began with drug accusations. We know how that goes.

    One more thing, I am a father of a 4 yr old daughter & if she is ever bitten by a dog, i gaurantee the owners would rather be in the ring with your pit bulls than to deal with what i will most certainly come to their residence carrying.

  • http://www.casualpal.com just4FUN

    I don’t like him!

  • Dfiestyone

    I love you Vick!!! Keep your head up and I look forward to you getting out and doing your thing!! I will always be a fan no matter what!

    Hang in there, you’re a survivor, show those haters what you can do!! I believee in you and I know that you’ll come out even stronger!!!

  • Dfiestyone

    @ Somer… where have you been boo?? Vick has given back to his community. He helped the Boys and Girls Club get equipment for the kids so that they could have equipment there to play with. He also bought uniforms for kids because their parents couldn’t afford them. He gave out turkeys and stuff during Thanksgiving as well. Do your research, of course the media doesn’t want to portray him as someone that has a heart, they want him to appear as a “hardened thug or criminal”.

  • Koi Norelle

    Michael Vick lost everything because of his stupidity. The money that he was making was more than enough to enhance the quality of life for his family for a few generations to come. He just ruined so much. I feel that he is a moron.

  • bezley

    VICK IS AN IDIOT OK ANIMAL CRUELTY WHEN YOU ARE A MILLONAIRE=CRUEL,EVIL

    R.KELLY YES ALSO CRUEL EVEN BUT HIS VICTIM, SPOKE OUT AND SAID IT WAS NOT HER

    OK O.J. LOVERS SHUT UP

  • Dfiestyone

    @bayouswampman… I agree with you 300% wholeheartedly!!!

  • 2cute4u

    Mike Vick will probably never play football again, he needs to get his debt taken care of before he gets out of prison.

  • justaddhotmilk aka phoenix_simone_xoxo aka she got legs

    2cute4u, you’re on late I usually see your posts top of the morning or afternoon. I read in the AJC today that they are using some of Vick’s dogs for some type of therapy for people that have cancer and other diseases. Good thing the gods are being useful instead of being put down.

  • justaddhotmilk aka phoenix_simone_xoxo aka she got legs

    my bad, i usually proof read, dogs and not gods. where did that come from?

  • INOCENTbiSTANDR

    I agree he should be punished but not that much. He WILL play again. Hell we(PANTHERS) can definitely use him. Last but not least:

    OJ killed a white woman, left evidence and was found not guilty.

    Michael molested little boys, came to court late & in his pj’s and was found not guilty.

    RKelly raped a young girl, taped it and was found not guilty.

    Michael Vick was “associated” with the fighting & killing of dogs and was convicted.

    1 question: Who the F*** was VICK’s lawyer???

  • Somer

    A fool and his money will soon depart.

    I think Mike will play again. He is young. A few months back I heard he entered a rehab program to reduce his sentence from 23months to 12 months. If that is true, he should be out this fall. That would be 2 season’s that he missed. Brett Favre’s backup been sitting on the bench for 3yrs. Someone will take a chance on Vick. The Raiders will sign anyone.

  • joyce

    I hope Michael Vick’s gets gangraped repeatedly in jail until his anus is the size of a grapefruit. Then, on the day he is released from prison, I hope he falls down and injures himself so badly that he can never play sports again. Then I hope his dumbass ends up homeless and living in a box. And that’s not enough punishment for what that sick bastard did to those dogs.

  • girlz_luv_me

    damn..they just keep getting this dude..he been in the league a long enough time i would have thought this dude would have had a lil stashed for a rainy day

  • girlz_luv_me

    now u wonder y when dude get out of jail they always come back doing dirl..if u have nothing to come home to guess how imma b making my cash..just guess

  • LEESA

    P.S.

    I hope that all those defenseless dogs that he abused, tortured and killed are all up in heaven, howling with glee!

  • http://www.google.com Man, I just don’t care

    @somer

    What has Arthur Blank done for the Atlanta community?

  • Ed

    6 Figgaz u c the game…Mike Vick isn’t quite broke yet and has SMART lawyers. Ur facing a lot of time and get 23 mos? Cool deal if ur going 2 jail anyway. He’s protecting what he has. This is a game that ALL of rich white America plays ask Trump. Hopefully he does come back. I agree R Kelly is free? I have 2 dogs and 4 daughters. I much rather run into Vick at the supermarket.

  • bayouswampman

    @Ed

    Exactly man. Some people look at these damn dogs like children which i will never understand. My daughter is more important than ANYONE in my family let alone some damn dogs. People who have committed crimes against children are walking but this guy gets locked up? Dont get me wrong, it was absolutely stupid for him to get involved in this activity but the punishment is severely outweighing the crime.

  • kasey

    I’m tired of the law behaving as if these animals are human beings. I’ve seen mothers who give birth to babies and then proceed to dump them in the trash and leave them left to die and receive less jail time. Pedophiles recive less jail time for molesting children. I think that he was made as a scapegoat. I think he should of received no more than 6 months. Pitbulls are vicious animals and are not equivalent to human beings.

    He is broke because he did not generated enough income to cover his debts for the next 2 years that he remains in prison. This is exactly what the district attorney and the judge wanted. They hate to see a successful, rich person of color. I hope he has learned his lesson and play for the NFL when his sentence is up.

  • yolanda

    The Falcons wanted out of thier contract so they got rid of MV simple.
