Since his brother has said nothing about the dogfighting problem, since his famous statement, that he NEVER goes to there, Marcus has decided to speak up. After you read his comments, Michael is going to wish his brother would just go away.
Comments 1-50 (of 51):
  • The last thing Michael needs is his brother sticking up for him, but at least he didn't say anything ridiculously stupid.
  • Like this jewel from Marcus:"Ya'll reporters come up to our door everyday trying to get an interview out of us or talk negative, nothing positive. Mike do a lot of positive things in the neighborhood but nobody brings those kind of things up." What kinds of positive things do Michael do?
    I
  • Marcus is to Michael as Tweedle is to Dumb.
  • Even after Dan Reeves had Michael Vick to take a diction class to improve his language skills, I still cringe when I hear him give an interview. If I was from Virginia Tech, I would be insulted that Beamer allowed him to be a "product" of VT. Those statements from Marcus are even worse in terms of diction and grammatical errors.

  • The VIck brothers and all animal lovers/stewards of the world agree on one thing (from Marcus' statement)...this situation is, and will be, in God's hand. Although, I get the impression his family and supporters believe Jesus would agree with them. I am not a Christian, and maybe they also are not, but I have not gotten the impression from people of any faith that animal cruelty and murder is acceptable; I have not studied a religion stating such beliefs. Maybe the
  • Is Michael Vick just an easy scapegoat for evryone. There are many people who are doing this not just athletes, where are the indictments for them. No saying he is innocent and does not deserve whatever he gets, but get everybody who does it. the comments about the way they talk, well thats just ignorant. Vick has donated money to the communtiy and back to VT after the shootings, so to say he has not is not true. Cowboys don't exactly have the best speech in the world either, Joe.
  • He gave VT $10,000, big f---ing deal, he spent more today on his attorney, he spent more on dogfights, $10,000 is nothing to him.
  • That is what I've been saying too, forever. $10,000 after the VA Tech shootings "for the families of the victims" of one of the worst mass killings? At a place that STILL has a Vick hall named after him???

    Ookie used to make $10,000 yawning before he lost his endorsements and NFl bonus money. ANNNND he no-showed at the breakfast to honor the VT students that died. Noticed they didn't even invite his worthless bro Marcus.
  • Like I stated before lets indict everybody and not just single out the athletes. Lets not hang himbefore he is found guilty. If Vick is found guilty he should not get special treatment. If he is found innocent let the man go on with his life. There are alot of guilty people who are not in jail, and alot of innocent people who are. Wait and see what happens through the justice system before we start frying the guy. He has made dumb decisions before like in the airport and giving fans the finger, but who hasn't done things they have to apologize for? I don't believe you or I can cast the first stone at the man. Everyone in the general public are making comments are going of emotion not fact. Let the facts come in before making ignorant statements. Leave the man's family out of it, you would take up for your brother too if in a similar situation.
  • Marcus Vick is the one who brought the family into this, he could have said notihng at all but he chose to talk to reporters. I have no sympathy for anyone who watches and bets on animals killing each other, Vick may be founf "innocent" in court but his career is pretty much ruined. As for taking up for my brother, no chance, if he gets into a situation like this he's on his own. Good talking to you woozy.
  • How do you think those cow's that your country ass brand every day feel!!!!
  • ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE SO QUICK TO JUDGE, HOW DO U KNOW ALL THE PARTICULARS OF THE CASE, DID YOU KNOW THE POLICE WERE TIPPED OF ABOUT THE DOG FIGHTING AFTER THE TWO GUYS WERE BUSTED ON DRUG CHARGES and volunteered the information to save thier asses. NOT TO EXCUSE vICK FOR WHAT HE DID, BUT THEY ARE DOGS. White people just stopped hanging Black men in the US in the early 60,s. What if it was Country assed Brett Farve getting caught dogg fighting. i would like to see what the outcry would be. everything in the US is racially motivated. so what if he spent 10.000 for his lawyer, you would too if you were in his shoes. you probably cheat on your wife with another man but how would i know i dont know you just like you dont know Vick. You dont know nothing but what your dumbA-- heard on TV probably FOX . I
  • all of you racist cocksuckers can burn in hell along side hitler and the rest of you tiny dick complex having,faggot ass undercover white supremist!i like some white people i would love to like them all but look at yourselves,racism once was very blatant and ovious and i respected that because at least then you knew who your enemies where!now you have to look for it in you,such as situations like this!! a Blackman in Amerikkka unless he's one of your uncle tom, tapdancing ass sell-outs is guilty until proven innocent now correct me if i'm wrong

  • this isn't about race. It's about media sensationalism. The same thing happened to the Duke lacrosse guys last year.

    it doesn't make Vick any less guilty though.
  • Remember, today is foodstamp pick up day bigg jayc.
    Oh yes, brother, don't forget to make plans for Father's day. You know, the most confusing day for blacks each year.
    Who's the Racist? You are, you complex laden, aids riddled piece of shit. Maybe where you are from you can be a racist and the whites will let it go to try to appease you.
    Come out to Oregon where we don't judge a man by the color of his skin, we judge him by the thickness of his lips.
    So, how does it feel now big boy? You like reading shit about your race like you subjected us whites to in your sophmoric message?
    Your girlfriend says to say hello to you but please don't call. She's finally found a real man. ME!!!
  • This is not a racial issue, its all about being immature and not having any integrity or moral values. Study Reggie White's life. He tried to set an example for you and the THUG VICK.
  • BigYack, I can see that you are fresh off the jail. Don't feel too comfortable with your temporary freedom.
  • suck my balls you loser. I hate losers just like you even if you where white. there is no excuse for vick or his ghetto loser brother.
  • court of law yes, court of public opinon no.
  • Cowboy Joe you dont know what a thug is. A thug today is the white guy selling you a house I mean conning you into a Variable interest rate and taking no responsibility for it. Even when all your shit is in the front yard after you are convicted. Bush is a thug having no reguard for human life sacrificing americas youth for a WMD charade. grow the fuck up and stop being a hater based on bullshit
  • look forget everybody diss micheal vick tne men does a lot for his conmmunity and virgina so all the hater need to stop also stop hatinng on my mens marcus vick
  • I don't believe Michael's career is over if he is found innocent, it may be done in Atlanta. But do you really think that no other team in the NFL will pick him up. Michael is a talent and if he wins this case he will play football again. Believe that. 32 teams and how many need quarterbacks. Court of opinion really doesn't matter, it's always going to be haters and people with opinions out there. The Vicks have been getting negative comments about them for their whole football life, do you think because Vick has people out there who don't like them that he is really going to not be able to go on with he life. It was nice talking to you to Cowboy, let the man be.
  • They're nothing but thugs. They have no business being role models for our children.

  • excellent post, please send it to anyone who works for ESPN and remind them that Vick has not been a model citizen, if you listen to them they are making it sound like Vick is being singled out instead of teh fact that he has been on the wrong side of the law pretty often.
  • tell Bush and Cheney's story a fuckin draft dodger drunk,driver and Cheney's 7 time Vietnam deferrment gettin ass. have you ever serverved you country or just a beer drinkin armchair quarterback. Mike Vick is a Football player he maybe killed a few dogs how much HUMAN blood does your boy Bush have on his hands for the worse kind of fighting where people get killed
  • The irony is..... this info came from ESPN website!
  • if it were your brother you would defend him too. yes his diction is bad but they did not care how he spoke when VT was asking him to play ball for them.
  • If my brother is dogfighting he's on his own.
  • A Vick is a Vick by any other name.
  • It is amusing that every white man has an opinon when blacks are involved. From Vick to Bonds to O.J./ What I wish is that our black athletes had since enough to pool their monies together and start their own leagues. The negro leagues and other all black leagues are our best bet. As long as we allow our athletic ability to be used with no real residual income or ownership from it. We will always have to go through the
  • And whos going to pay real money to your all black league? If not for the white man's money their athletes would be nothing but uneducated thugs on the street. Oh sorry, blacks are synonymous to the
  • I am a white man and every honest person knows that this is a severly racist, hypocritical country. White men have killed, raped, stolen, lied, enslaved, pillaged and plundered every race, sex, and nationality in this country and every other country. We can do all kinds of crap for centuries, hell, our present president is a lying, no good for nothing piece of crap and his wife has taken a human life in her drunk driving episode and all of that is forgotten when any man of color-black, red, yellow, etc. does anything. What Vick did was wrong, but you racist dogs need to focus on everyone's ----ups not just the wrongdoings of people of color.
  • 1. Mike Vick made his own bed, not the white man.
    2. Black people who defend Vick because he's black are blatantly racist.
    3. White people who cowtow to blacks are more pathetic than blacks who blindly back Vick.
    4. All three of these examples can kiss my white ass!
  • Both of these guys are bad news. Long before Michael left VT, people in Blacksburg knew what a thug he was. He was always partying and riding young girls around in his car (who bought that for him?) Michael and Marcus are both just plain STUPID. To throw away all that money and all of their potenetial because they thought they were better than anyone else. Except for the Blacks on the football team, Michael and Marcus both dissed their Black borthers at Tech. Their cockiness and feeling that they were untouchable is what got them into this mess. And when you hear their mother defend them, you know where they got their attitude. Virginia Tech bent over backwards for Marcus and Michael showed his appreciation by leaving VT after just two seasons. Black or white, we'll all be better off if these two were in jail for a long time.
  • man you guys are just fuckin jealous that you dont have any atheletic talent what about ray lewis or oj simpson dont you guys want to bitch about them too?
  • Guess what, look at the game this past sunday. Now you tell me a solution to the Falcons season. Its a damn shame when a team that been going to the playoffs ever since Vick started can't even make it to the red zone.
  • Of course JAy Glazer said before the game that the Falcons had a pool last year betting when Vick would fake an injury to get out of a game. Noone is really sorry that he's gone in that locker room.
  • [DELETED]

  • As an European that I am I can't really understand the
  • all u white piece of shits keep hating on the black man but thats fcuked up but he will be good u feel me n all u blacks that agree wit them dick heads u r just as dumb so fall bacj bitches su woop blaatt five stars
  • Unfortunately, all either one had going for them was athletic ability. They started out like everyone else, were probably raised by a well meaning mother ... but being stupid, and also apparently ignorant, never stopped their parents, coaches, or schools from passing them along instead of flunking them out. Yes, other people commit crimes ... and many get away with it. But no matter who ratted you out ... they either did the crimes, or not. Innocence is the best defense ... always will be. The Vick brother are gifted athletes who's rap sheets are not longer than their career stat sheets.
  • Really them niggas are newport news ghetto, I know for a fact Mike Vick was a dumb as a nail in school at warwick high school. That's what happen when you give niggas who grew up poor some money, they act stupid.
  • Most of the posters before me are absolute morons, white and black.
  • come on now, stop trashin marcus vick.
    he's doing what is right & that's sticking up for his big bro.
  • I have love for MIchael Vick and hate him or love him you all know good and well that he is going to play again. I also bet that he is far from broke, unlike what the media would want you to believe. Alot of people will believe in the power of GOD once he is back and better than ever.
  • Please read the entire GLORIOUS history of Marcus Vick - http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2285819

    And just note that Brenda Boddie - illustrious mother of these 2 thugs - Ookie and Marcus, was 16 years old when she had Ookie - illigetimate babies , and now Ookie has 3 illigetimate babies - another great reason for "being a role model" ???

    I didn't have any idea what a thug Marcus Vick was until this article and I looked him up. He was in college when he had sex with a 15 yr old, (wonder why he wasn't prosecuted?) , threatened 3 teens with guns, and stomped on another player during a game. Gee, this whole family is thug material, and especially idiot Davon Boddie, the one that got caught with the pot that led to the police busting Vick's house. Davon on TV saying the Feds planted 55 dogs as evidence as got to be one of the best scenes of stupidity ever caught on tape - look on WAVY TV in VA. It is hilarious. There is no low too low for the Vick/Boddie enterprise. Except of course the dog fighting. I hope Ookie's cell mates learn how to make a rape stand in wood carving class and use it on him.
  • LOOK. PLEASE - The point is Michael and Marcus Vick were both living the dream life or on their way to living the dream life. You probably don't understand what its like to be a college football player, but they basically get money thrown at them and get everything on a silver platter. As for Michael, he was already raking the dough in with the NFL, and was a huge star. They now have both basically ruined their careers with bad decisions. AND even that in itself is monumental because you know how many second chances they have probably gotten? I say, if youre that lucky to be that talented, don't screw it up over some downright bullsh*t. And yes, dogfighting falls in that category. Why would you organize dogfights? What is the damn point? Have a heart, dogs are probably the most funloving creatures around, and setting them against one another, turning them into monsters, is a terrible thing to do. Not to mention all of the other criminal charges that have been put against them. MY point is, thank God for the talents he has given you, the life you have, get your head out of your ass, and start paying some respect to other people and other things. The LEAST of all, stay out of bullsh*t trouble because its just not worth it AT ALL.
  • Mike Vick should have had to attend a PETA class and pay a fine. That's about it. To lose his whole life over something so stupid as a dog's life is crazy. We eat animals everyday. Dog's are eaten in other countries. We like to watch humans fight each other (the bloodier the better, am I right?) People hunt animals for sport all the time. I heard a story from D.L. Hugely on some show about a man in Texas that accidentally left his dog in a hot car and it died. He got six months in jail. Then there are the multiple stories about women who have left their babies in hot cars and not been charged with a crime when their children died. I think that people need to re-evaluate their priorities.
