Stephon Marbury defends Michael Vick's dogfighting! Now he says Vick is wrong!

Stephon Marbury is busy opening his mouth, as usual. This time, it was to defend Michael Vick. Marbury blamed "us" for the situation, and then he realized what a fool he was and came out today, saying he doesn't defend Vick but he says that, "I don't think [Vick's] right. But this dude is trying to ask for forgiveness.".. more on this in a minute.

So, we all know that Stephon Marbury is known for speaking before he thinks, but he actually came out and said, "From what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors and I think it's tough that we build Michael Vick up and then we break him down ... I think he fell into a bad situation."... I would like Marbury to explain how we are at fault for Vick being an idiot. How are we at fault for "breaking him down?" Lets clear something up... Michael Vick did not "fall" into a bad situation, he CHOSE to live in the spotlight, and CHOSE to break the law. I have not heard any media outlets be abusive towards Vick. Sure, they discuss the topic, detest Vick's actions and are speaking their minds, but I don't think that is unfair at all! Vick could have easily avoided this kind of attention by NOT dogfighting. Don't blame the media for Vick's actions!

How did Marbury try to backup these statements? Well he compared dogfighting to deer hunting, "We don't say anything about people shooting deers and shooting other animals, you know what I mean?"... Actually Marbs, I have NO idea what you mean. How can you compare electrocuting dogs that don't meet your fighting expectations, to shooting for eating? I don't even need to answer this.

Now, lets briefly discuss Marbury's most recent comments, where he attempts to cover his foolish statements. Marbury said, "I don't think [Vick's] right. But this dude is trying to ask for forgiveness. ... The way the way it's going about in the newspapers and TV, it's ridiculous." Don't you just love how yesterday he was saying that dogfighting is like deer hunting, and now he comes out and says he doesn't agree with Vick? I love how he says this and then goes right back into defending him, saying that Vick asked forgiveness.

So, because Vick asked forgiveness means that the media should just forget about it and leave the story alone? I would argue that Vick hasn't really apologized in the first place. Saying sorry and then making all kinds of excuses is not really apologizing.

Hey Starbury, just keep your mouth shut... every time you open it you say something stupid.

UPDATE on Michael Vick dogfighting case!

Michael Vick has to be even more scared, after finding out that the last of his co-defendants, Quanis Phillips and Purnell Peace, have both pleaded guilty to conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture. They not only pleaded guilty, but have agreed to testify against Michael Vick.



This is scary to Vick because Peace is going to testify that both himself and Vick fought dogs together, and even share one story of how they "executed [a] dog by wetting the dog down with water and electrocuting the animal." This is just one of nine executions that Peace will discuss in front of the jury. Their testimony will be graphic, brutal, and prove to be very damning, for Vick!

Atlanta Falcons, NFL star Michael Vick, INDICTED by federal grand jury on dogfighting charges!

I have been able to follow this story, somewhat, over the past months but was under the impression it was not going to be easy to indict Michael Vick, and probably wouldn't happen. So, this news really surprised me, maybe our legal system is learning something from the Paris Hilton case, and holding the famous accountable for their actions better than in the past... I knew they found a lot of dogfighting evidence at Vick's home, but according to the indictment, they even know the name of the operation, which as "Bad Newz Kennels." Of course, it is important to note that Michael Vick has not been found guilty, as an NFL spokesperson pointed out, "The activities alleged are cruel, degrading and illegal. Michael Vick's guilt has not yet been proven, and we believe that all concerned should allow the legal process to determine the facts."

I knew some of the stuff they found on Vick's property was horrible, but I had no idea they were this bad. "About eight young dogs were put to death at the Surry County home after they were found not ready to fight in April 2007, the indictment said. They were killed "by hanging, shooting, drowning and/or slamming at least one dog's body to the ground." Even John Goodwin of the Humane Society, who sees this type of thing happen a lot, said the manner in which losing or unwilling dogs were killed was especially troubling.

"Some of the grisly details in these filings shocked even me, and I'm a person who faces this stuff every day," he said. "I was surprised to see that they were killing dogs by hanging them and one dog was killed by slamming it to the ground. Those are extremely violent methods of execution -- they're unnecessary and just sick."

"If convicted, Vick and the other three guys, Purnell A. Peace, Quanis L. Phillips and Tony Taylor, could face up to six years in prison, $350,000 in fines and restitution."

I really hope the truth comes out in all of this, and whoever is responsible, gets the maximum punishment for this! I have read a lot about dogfighting before, but this seems to be one of the worst cases I have heard of in some time!
