Was Michael Vick Smart to Smoke a Joint before heading to the Joint?
January 7th, 2008
Michael Vick may be out of federal prison by next Christmas. He apparently has just applied and possibly been accepted to an in prison drug rehabilitation program at Ft Leavenworth in a minimum security prison. The rehab program is 12 months and could see Vick released early (at the conclusion of the program). It might just be possible that smoking the joint that made him test positive for marijuana in September was the smartest legal maneuver he made to insure that he would be out of jail within 1 year.
If so, that upcoming Virginia trial will be very important if he wants to get out of jail and not serve a back to back sentence in state prison that might prevent him from only missing the 2007 and 2008 seasons.

So What. Its time to leave the man alone. Enough damage has been done. To date Michael Vick’s only expressed desire was that people know Michael Vick the individual and not Michael Vick the football player. The two are not the same. Everyone who personally knows him says the two are not the same, this includes team members.
Michael lamanted the fact that people were saying such awful things about him when they did not know him. From what I gather he is a devoted father and family member. As far as the trial in Virginia, I hope the truth will finally be revealed. The truth was not revealed during the federal trial. Some say he pled guilty. That does not mean a thing. That is called plea bargaining. If I rembmber correctly the prosecutor gave his a specified time in which to plead guilty or additonal charges would be added. If I were him I would have also pled guilty. What about Taylor, Phillips and Peace. I place very little credence in what they said.
Note, the judge could not go along with the prosecuors request that Taylor receive no prision time when he put the whole operation together. The judge said the disparity would be too great. Thus he gave Taylor two month’s prison time and ordered him to pay $50,000 in unpaid child support.
The grand jury in Virginia indited Vick, Phillips and Peace on two counts but they indited Taylor on four counts. Maybe they are aware of things we are not aware of. I hope Michael Vick will make a statement while in Virginia. Too many people have been speaking for him. Its ime for him to speak for himself.
Hypocrites, I respect your alternative views on things, but lets be real. Michael Vick was able to pull a fast one. I’m not saying its wrong or anything, same type of crap that people do all the time to get out of DUI’s and speeding tickets, take some class or counseling.
But all those people that were complaining that his punishment was too long, do not have much to complain about now that he’s only going to be in jail about a year.
I still find it remarkable that by smoking dope, he was able to qualify for a program that gets him out of prison 11 months faster than he would have been out of prison if he had not smoked dope.
This is more a remark on how screwed up the legal system is rather than how bad Michael Vick is for exploiting a screwed up legal system.
But at the end of the day, Michael Vick is STILL bad. You mention many times that in his heart he’s a nice guy and all and that we (everyone else in the world) do not understand him or something because we do not see the real Michael Vick.
I ask you where was that nice guy at when he was killing dogs?
Where was the sweet heart of a father when he was strangling dogs with nooses from a tree?
Where was the model husband when he was electrocuting dogs?
Where was this nice guy that made his mother proud after growing up poor when he was slamming dogs down to the ground and to their death?
As to the other jokers that helped bring out the evil in Michael Vick, you seem to insinuate that these all powerful thugs apparently were so intimidating and powerful that they forced Michael Vick to throw away $250 million, kill dogs, and use his own home as a torture ground and killing field.
If I believed that Michael Vick were that feeble minded (which I do not), then the courts should have committed him involuntarily to an insane asylum as he would be a danger to himself.
I believe if you look at Michael Vick’s actions a little more realistically, you will see that Michael Vick is not only responsible for his predicament, and his actions, but that MICHAEL VICK and no one else was the one that decided to perform all those despicable actions, regardless of what anyone around him was doing at the same time.
Thanks for the info!
well said doglover332
thank you!
To the people who own this website…you sell T-shirts to make money and convict Michael Vick every hour of the day and night. You play God when this man has served his sentence and paid his debt to society! At what point do “YOU” determine he can move on with his life. Why don’t you post your name and contact info on this site? Your WHOIS is private? Hmmm… I don’t agree with what Michael Vick did at all, but when does he get a chance to ever work again? Move on with his life and earn a living? Leave the man alone and let God deal with him. You cast stones on him when you should be praying for him. You act like you are perfect and don’t sin!!! Come on show others love and stop playing God. You people that run this site and those who add to it like Jr. judges makes others sick and maybe others should judge all of YOU too and convict YOU and create a site and sell T-shirts and tell everyone YOU shouldn’t ever be able to work again. YOU tell the world and God when this man should be able to work again??? C’mon play judge and jury and tell us all when you feel Michael should be able to work again??? In fact tell us what he can and can’t do, set rules for when he can own a car and scratch his ear. The only things that would be wrong if he were a convicted molester and working with children, or convicted of a crime while using a gun and then able to own one, and things of that nature then I would have an issue with things like that. Please FORGIVE and move on, God will hand out his judgment one day and there’s not a thing you or anyone can do. Will be praying for all you who are certified judges and jury members on this site and all those who know best for Michael Vick. Just lay out all the rules and tell everyone once and all what he can and can’t do…and at what point do YOU determine when he can move on with his life or are YOU willing to personally pull the switch on the electric chair while he sits on it??? Hope YOU all never make a single mistake in your perfect lives. Cause if you did, who knows what sentence could be placed on you by any individual off the street that can build a website or wave a sign.
