Fallen Falcon QB Michael Vick Files for Bankruptcy

Michael Vick Claims Up To $50 Million In Debt

Michael Vick
Imprisoned ex-NFL star Michael Vick has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, claiming he owes between $10 million and $50 million to creditors. The former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, who admitted to funding an illegal dog-fighting ring and is serving federal time in Kansas, “will seek to rebuild his life and career,” court papers state. Vick was suspended from the NFL in light of his confession last year and lost numerous product endorsement deals. He still faces charges in Virginia as he serves a 23-month sentence at the Leavenworth pen. Vick has been named in multiple lawsuits, including alleged loan default.

Blah Blah Blah poor micheal vick he’s a moron who chose to commit a felony and messed up his own career.The media didn’t make him out to be a montor-he did it to himself and he IS a monster.No one should torture animals that way,commit felonies and expect sympathy and think he’ll contibue to get endorsement deals-get over it.Even if it was condonable-which it’s not-he’s a moron for throwing his career.I love when people say “everyone else does it everyday” Are you kidding me??Yes people, fight dogs every day, people beat their kids, their wives, there are rapists and child molesters that behave that way-but it doesn’t make it RIGHT.It’s all WRONG and you will end up where the rest of the felons are.Bring your small child or grandmother or anyone for that matter and watch one of these dogfights shred each other from limb to limb. Make them watch the losing dog be beaten,shot,electrocuted,drowned and see how much fun it is-since it’s not that big a deal.Sounds like a good time!!!You people are sick.

Bunch of ignorant morons.Hope you don’t have kids or pets.We have to take care of God’s blessings.We treat dogs like crap and then turn around and expect them to respect us and protect us.Selfish cold-hearted soul-less human beings.What happened to Vick is what he brought upon himself.Whites partipate in dogfighting too.But when you’re in the nfl for goodness sake I think the media is going to pay attn.Remember,most of the nfl and nba are black.They give just as much negative attn to steriod use and other activity in baseball towards white players.It’s not about black or white,it’s about right or wrong.You do the crime you pay the time.I will never teach my child that that type of behavior is ok,or to be so ungrateful as to throw away their career to backsliding into illegal behavior and pull the race card.Grow up,get a job and try not to hurt each other.Is that so damn hard???Wake up,people.

Free Vick he will come back stronger no doubt about that and take over the game and all the losses he faced will be recovered all in due time.

The falocons wanted out of the contract so they got rid of MIke Vick for killing some dogs, when in fact this is just another form of entertainment to some
black people form the south. White people whistle for animals and then they get to kill these beautiful animals and nothing is ever said. We in the USA pick who can do what, and that includes how justice is administered.

I pray for MV everyday and hope that God will see fit for him to have an early release.



David Said on

Hold your head up VIck, I am praying for you. To be back a better than ever, “No Weapon Formed, Against You Shall Prosper”.



D. Alexander Said on

I pray that Vick will turn his life over to the Lord, because He will give Vick the peace, love, guidance, restoration, redemption and wisdom as he goes through. CONFESS! REPENT and kneel down at the feet of God and He will take care of you.

To God be the GLORY!

Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am gentle and humble your heart and you will find rest in your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

With all the stuff people get away with in our country why in the hell would you think Vick would get away with this? I dont condone what vick did but come on now its killers still on the loose and thieves of all sorts but we put vick in jail for 2 yrs for dog fighting?.?.? Something is really wrong with our Country. God is not pleased. God is soon to return we have to get right before its too late. Vick made a mistake ok God also forgives. I pray that vick wil come out stronger and make way more money then he ever did before. It was wrong but come on now it was just dog fighting. Nobod is perfect. We say God bless america no we need to BLESS GOD! STAY STRONG VICK!



UMlaw Said on

Vick deserves all that he gets. He a) lied to everyone (including YOU and the government); b) made money on the animals; c) oversaw the slaughtering/torturing of said animals; d) HE LIED ABOUT IT AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH A WRY SMILE.
If not for Vick’s money, this particular dog fighting crew would not have come to fruition. Don’t compare this to anything else….look at it in it’s own horrible manner. He is in jail b/c he is a man that did wrong, not just because he is a Black man.



deborah sharpe Said on

Michael Vick’s incident will make him stronger than before. It’s just a racist move coming from White America. Stand By. He Will return.



deborah sharpe Said on

WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE DEER AND FOX HUNTERS OF THE WORLD. LOOK FOR AND ARREST THEM.



yolanda Said on

MV should be walikng as a free man, but because of our judicial system his sitting behind bars for killing a few dogs. The MV story is a much bigger issue it has nothing to do wih killing an animal. They are trying to send a message to Black men with money we will pursue you in trival matters as well. Stand string MV and family God is with you and he will take care of you inyour time of need.



yolanda Said on

MV has’nt done nothng no one else has done in the world, the only thing was he was Black and the Falcons wanted out of their contract with him and what better way to do it than to sat him up.



yolanda Said on

MV lied like everyone else does, and the falcons wanted out of thier contact period.



Wow Said on

Hey Deborah moron – hunting is legal and we eat deer LOL, DUH and furriers aren’t breaking the law killing foxes and minks.And black people hunt too so don’t even go there.We don’t eat dogs!We let them around our children and invite them into our homes!Don’t even try it.There’s no logic here whatsoever.Everyone is like,it’s ok,it’s a few dogs.that’s not a defense in the eyes of the law.Don’t expect the law to work for your when it is convenient for you.It’s supposed to work both ways.Yes, sometimes it is flawed but it does not make it right.If you came into my house and took my pitbull and made it fight and abuse it and kill it,I will kill your ass as I have a RIGHT to defend my property.It’s a felony.No one can just come onto your property and kill your pets,RIGHT?So why does he have the right to enjoy it for pure sport.There are TONS of other animals we’re allowed to kill,so get over it.He should have become addicted to gambling like everyone else if he wanted to blow money.Or put it into the damn community or train young kids to be boxers,ya think?I don’t get why it’s so hard to grasp the concept that because it’s done everyday that makes it right.It’s not about skin color it’s about the disguting,illegal,cruel treatment of animals.And you can’t say people care more about dogs than people.No one ever said that.Does that mean that we should go around drowning and shooting at everything that moves that isn’t human?Go shoot up the zoo?Go bomb the humane society?Give me a break.We can’t just go and do whatever we want.He got what he deserved and took his blessings for granted and thought he could be a criminal in the NFL.You KNOW you have to abide by your contractual obligations and participating in illegal activity was his damn choice.



Wow Said on

Shooting deer is LEGAL that’s the difference, moron.We also eat deer meat,not dog.(At least I don’t,what you do is your problem)Read your contract with the NFL before you participate in illegal activity.Real bright.



Wow Said on

I also don’t allow deer or foxes in my house,either.Hey-why not gather up a group and let’s go shoot up the zoo and the humane society,what’s the big deal?They’re just protected by law.Then, we can have the nerve to try and have a career in a private sporting club,dirregard their conduct rules, and claim it’s racist and their contractual stipulations that we agreed upon mean nothing!He’s a dummy.

He admitted it,by the way,do you remember that part??

When I walk into your house and kill your pets,don’t have a fit about it,ok.They’re just animals.By the way,dogs are considered property,and I have the right to protect mine with reasonable force.So if anyone thought about coming and snatching my pitt,I’d blow their head off for touching my property.I invest good time and money into my property just as you would your car or home.I don’t give a care if someone was fighting a couple of hot dogs outside.It’s not the same thing you logically-challeneged people!



Wow Said on

I also wouldn’t let deer or foxes in my house.



Wow Said on

You arrest people who break the law.You can’t break it and condone it,then turn around and expect it to work on your side the next day.Don’t work like that,people.



Gigi Said on

Mike deserves to be punished for wrong doing. He’s a grown man and no one should have to tell him what is right or wrong, he made his bed hard, so now he’s sleeping in it. God created every living creature, and he love every living thing. So what gives Michael Vick or any other human to harm or hurt. Animals have feelings also. I someone puts humans in a ring to fight, wouldn’t you feel the pain also. Same goes for Animals. You Reap want You Sow.
