simple math, how much did he pay for his crib and didnt get a third of that back...

a lot of people say they dont advise people with money to pay things cash...yeah that's how you end up like vick...pay cash if you have it. a rich man is one who has no debts imo.

:falldownlaugh: I have no sympathy for vick, I hope he has fun living in a box on the street. Although Vick probably has some money stashed away some where.

[Khannie112]

I like how he says 10 - 50 million in debt.....thats quite a large gap???

Vick: I think I owe 10 million....maybe $50 million, I dunno I lost count

if you pay cash and dont get a 1/3 of it back,your still losing a **** load of money.simple math.you just lost 2/3 of your investment.he is getting what he deserves.i dont really feel too sorry for him

[MR. WEBBER]

not to mention the property tax and insurance,maintence and upkeep you have to pay for a property like that.

You guys are messed up. I feel bad for Vick and now I understand why he was involved in dog fighting. He was trying to make ends meat and support is family because clearly ATL wasn't paying him enough to live on.

I don't see how anyone can call Vick stupid either. He said it himself, he has 2 weapons that make him a threat. His feet, his arm and his brain. The man is clearly smartererer and bettererer than the rest of us at everything including controling his finances.

1. Those are three "weapons" unless you aren't counting the one he obviously doesn't have.
2. He is no where near better at finances than I am losing 62 million dollars.
3. I hope your joking.

The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback hopes he "can, after the conclusion of the bankruptcy case, rebuild his life on a personal and spiritual level, resurrect his image as a public figure, and resolve matters with the NFL such that he can resume his career," according to the filings.

Wow, he still doesn't get it.

His NFL career is OVER.

Even if the NFL lifts his suspension, no team is going to want the stigma of Vick on their team. And I don't care how much he exercises in prision, he's not going to be in NFL shape when he gets out.

[bruin4life]

The real reason Vick is filing Chapter 11

What PacMan did was alot worse.

Someone will give Vick another chance whether its QB, WR or as a "weapon."

THANK YOU.

Yes Vick was involved in something horrible but Pacman is hitting females. Isn't that the same stuff we all dog Lawrence Phillips for but yet Pacman isn't viewed in that bad of a light because he's only punching strippers in the face. Oh wait he also punched a female attorney who happened have one of the strip clubs as her client too.

Well, it's debateable about Pacman. I tend to agree with you, however, it's only been proven Pacman hangs out with bad people who do bad things.

It was proven Vick bankrolled an illegal operation.

Bankrolling an illegal opperation and hanging out with bad people are two different things. Perhaps they shouldn't be, but that's not my point.

Comparing Pacman to Vick isn't quite a fair comparison, because with Vick, the trial is over, he's in jail, we know all the facts; while with Pacman, investigations are still under way, trials have yet to be held, and not all facts are truely known. It is still highly possible Pacman will end up in jail, and/or banned from the NFL.

The NFL has to be concerned that Vick was involved in a gambling operation, and may just never lift his suspension on that alone.

And then there is the fact that Vick still faces charges from the state. He could very well get out of Fedeal prision and go right to State prision.

But it does come down to strippers won't organize protests outside the Dallas Cowboys training complex. PETA and other dog groups will organize protests and create a headache for anyone who signs Vick. You may think that's wrong, but it doesn't change the fact that it will happen.

[bruin4life]

This is all the NFL cares about with his case and this is why it's viewed alot more heavily than a player who's beating up women. Afterall the league has a bunch of those players already so why single one out.

[badass316]

Well, it's debateable about Pacman. I tend to agree with you, however, it's only been proven Pacman hangs out with bad people who do bad things.

So your implying that if PacMan didn't hang around those people that he wouldn't be the wannabe thug POS that he is? No way. Getting arrested 11 times in the span of one year is no accident. PacMan is a POS criminal, plain and simple. I seriously doubt he's actually turned a new leaf with this whole cowboy situation. People like him normally don't change.

What Mike Vick did was wrong and was a crime against animals (dogs). What PacMan did were crimes against humanity... He was responsible for paralyzing a guy is he not? The two aren't close in my opinion. PacMan stands alone at his own level with probably Chris Henry a couple of notches below him. Mike Vick may be a douche bag, but he's definitely no PacMan.

[Khari]

they both suck......who cares who is worse

I would like to meat women here.... <just for laughs of course>

[Trap_Star]

mike vick is going broke? the government has all kinds of money that they're just waiting to give away. all he has to do is buy my book to find out how to take advantage of this lucrative opportunity.

have you read some of the posts about pacman on this message board?people think he is a piece of **** and alot of us dont want him in the nfl anymore.i dont understand where your getting that what pacman did was ok to the people on this message board.

No, that is not what I'm implying.

I was commenting from a LEGAL perspective.

Legally, it's not been proven Pacman is reponisble for paralyzing that man at this time.

But if you actually bothered to READ my post rather than just jumping on a few sentances, I was quite clear the Pacman's case is not over, and he could still be put in jail and/or banned from the NFL.

Let me put it in plain English:

Vick in prison
Pacman not in prison yet, still awaiting outcome of trial(s).

[bruin4life]

I'm sorry was my post direct at you or was it directed at the the general view of the two in the media and portrayal of them on the news. Vick gets national attention and is viewed as 'public enemy #1' while Pacman's negativity doesn't generate the same news and isn't viewed as shocking by most of the media even on the sports networks they never get into the actual events he's involved in and break it down to what he's actually doing instead he's just a guy that goes to strip clubs.

Webber this is a prime example of what I'm referring to. Pacman has admitted to the incident involving hitting the female he's been found guilty for his actions in regards to the police in his home town and even biting one cop. But people always tend to put those on the back burner and are waiting for the decision in the shooting to be rendered.

The shooting is bad but he's already proved to be more of a punk by the fact that he bites when he's approached by a man and the only time he's gonna throw a punch is if it's at a female but you don't see that in the news you only hear about his case in regards to whether or not he did the shooting in Vegas.

agreed.i didnt know you were talking about the media in a previous post.my bad.but i get what your saying.

they can be cell mates in prison for all i care. i hope big dudes punch pacman in the face too so he can see what it feels like to be defenseless and physically hurt.

No sympathy.

Vick should be in jail a lot longer than 23 months.

[BrentJones84]

Vick should be in jail a lot longer than 23 months.

Considering they enough evidence to charge him under the RICO act & lock him up for 20 years, I agree, but I guess the government felt the plea bargain was cheaper than a federal trial.

[49ersforlife5x]

How does one man go bankrupt when his contract had sever million dollars in guaranteed money? Not to mention he played like 2 or 3 years of that contract....

[MR. WEBBER]

5x,where have you been!!im having withdrawal.i need some of your posts.

Well duh. He had to pay Marcus' bail.

Also, pure Cocaine isn't exactly free...

[afrorouge]

A big difference between Pacman and Vick is that Vick was the face of his franchise and had a massive media presence. He was a hero to many, but rather than living his life in an upstanding way, he chose to engage in behavior that aside from being illegal was also morally reprehensible to a lot of the same people who had looked up to him. A friend of mine in Atlanta said that the city went into a kind of shock after the story broke. Imagine if Steve Young had turned out to be running a dog fighting ring in his back yard.

Pacman, on the other hand, has been a known bad apple from the start. No one is putting his face on billboards to sell crap to teenagers. He's not the face of an organization. He's not had the mantle of hero placed upon him, so the standards he's held to are far lower.

trust me as soon as he's released he'll be a rich man again very easilly and alot sooner than many may think. he's still young and his body hasn't much wear and MV will help sponsor by being a spokesman for abused animals rights activists and all will be fine and well. his agent and others are already working on this probably. he'll be fine and get it all back as he has to much of a following not too. hell maybe Jerry Jones will sign him if Romo starts to mess up by the time he's released.lol

was this suppose to be in blue?because i sure hope you were trying to be funny.NOBODY is going to give him a sponsorship deal.espcially someone from an abused animals organization.he will be 29-30 when he gets released.i doubt any team will give him a huge pay day to come play for their team.not with the baggage he brings.

exactly. lol mcdonalds wouldnt hire him to a sponsorship,much less PETA!!!!

and if ANY teams in the nfl are going to give him a 2nd chance it would be oakland or dallas but i doubt it.

MV is to great of an athlete and 29-30 isn't that old,especially when 3-4 years he's not even been touched. this business is all about winning and someone will take him as greed is what sells.besides the black community will support him and definitely buy his jerseys and what else he'll have worth buying. trust me I was in Richmond Va. during his sentencing and he had 15-1 more supporters than he did that was against him easily. he'll be back.

To be honest, with Vick's size and speed, I always wondered if any coach ever thought of putting some weight on him and setting him up as a TE.

That said, Vick is done. Even if he SOMEHOW gets back into the NFL (unlikely at best) he won't be in shape and he won't last very long. Ricky Williams redux. What a frickin' waste of a human life...

He's not exactly tall enough to make one think TE. More like contemplated putting him at slot and telling him to go run somewhere.

i think we should start taking down names of all of michael vicks supporters that way we know who to look for when something goes down.
god there ignorant. hes a black man and the white man is just trying to keep him down. lol

no! more like he is trying REALLY hard to ruin a good thing he has.

how do you support a criminal and call yourself american,human or even someone that deserves the respect of others? :thumbsdown:

[Montana2Rice=TD]

isnt that what the OC told vick while he was playing QB also?

:laugh:

i dont really know too much on vick but heres what i am thinking.

1. i think he WILL be in decent football shape when he gets out but will more than likely need a year with a team as back up to get back to NFL shape.

2. i dont think he is very accurate with the ball(correct me if i am wrong) but i remember espn saying he was good at running(did it to much)jeapordizing injury,but that his accuracy was bad.

3. i dont think a team will take a chance on him,especially if PETA continues to watch over vick and protest at every game and every event he attends.

he is most likely thinking he can comeback and play as well so he will probably stay in shape. he has had a taste of the good life and im betting he finally realizes he has one chance left(maybe)so he is gonna stay in shape.
he'll come out and try and get a deal with the raiders or cowboys.

they could take him but if they do it'll be a big blow to their organization(reputation wise). and i dont think its worth it when you can just draft a rookie QB with the same weapons by then for a minimum salary in the 1st round.(thanks to the rookie salary cap that will be in place) i think thats whats gonna hurt vick the most.

he's probably cockfighting as we speak. :dance:

[Webgoji]

He's in jail just down the highway from where I live (he's incarcerated at Leavenworth, Kansas). I think I'll help him out a little.

I'll drive down and ask him to autograph my Basset Hound for $20. She would have an authentic Mike Vic signature on her back side and he would at least have $20 to his name.

Wait . . . maybe not. I don't think he would find that very amusing.

[krueger70]
