Who would you be outraged at? The Feds? If this is the case, the Feds would have agreed to it. If they had a sufficient case to prosecute Vick on gambling and dog killing charges, why offer a plea that excludes those charges? Vick? Is he supposed to cop to heavier charges if he doesn't have to? When he pleads, he's definitely going to do time. He's not getting off scott free. Why would there be an uproar? People have done worse and done no time.

Come on guys. It was a slow news night. The Yankees weren't playing. The Red Sox were rained out. The Beckham game was in progress. The biggest story was between Little League and pre-season football.

That gives ESPN the right to just make up sh*t, right?

Ha...you're right Anon.

GD- It's just a closure thing. People think of him as such an awful person and want him to fry. Copping a deal without having to admit anything would piss a ton of people off.

I kinda figured the weirdness of this whole thing wasn't quite settled yet.

Thanks Mike Vick!

"I wish people would stop sugarcoating it," Boddie told The Journal-Constitution. "This is Mike's thing. And he knows it ... likes it, and he has the capital to have a set up like that."

Cossack has to be right. You cannot plead guilty to charges without admitting the underlying crime. It's, like, the law and stuff. In fact, once you plead guilty, the judge asks you specific questions about the facts listed in the indictment and you have to admit it, or else the court won't accept the plea.

There is a way to take a plea bargain without admitting to any wrongdoing. It's called an Alford Plea. Is this the case here? I don't know. Frankly, I think he's still in denial.

So... it looks like he admitted to killing the dogs (i think?) but the AP article i read makes no mention of gambling...

I guess BOTH espn's were right!

I've heard this a few times today, that Vick wasn't admitting to gambling so that the NFL wouldn't come down even harder on him.

What people are failing to realize is that the NFL isn't a court of law. They'll weigh all of the evidence, whether it's in the plea agreement or not. Does anyone really think Roger Goodell is going to say, "Oh! Well, there's no gambling in the affidavit, that part must have been a big misunderstanding!"

Also, I'm guessing the legal strategy behind not admitting to actually killing the dogs is to not give the prosecution any cheap points in a Virginia state case. Just a hunch.

Roger Cossack is quite photogenic.

This is why ESPN needs competition, or an ombudsman who has the authority to hang the guy who let last night's SportsCenter get through by the balls.

And what does it take for Chris Mortensen to get fired?

"This is outrage of justice!"

- Nicole Ritchie, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton

"Who is Michael Vick?"

- Sage Steele

RUTS- Good point on the state case. Although, Poindexter basically had to be dragged kicking and screaming to say he would file charges, so don't be surprised if he decides not to prosecute, afterall.

Mike is bitch snitchin!!!

The fuckin irony...

DMX in tha house!!!!

Wait, I mean, those were my cousin's dogs...yeah, my cousin's...

LMAO
