I like what you're doing in the NFL, Mike. And you got a second chance... in the NFL.

But I'd never give him a second chance at owning an animal.

Plus, it's his hometown, so of course it's "news" around here.

Tomorrow there'll be snow and all will be forgotten.

I didn't mean your post.
It is just the way the info was presented by the writer, as if this was breaking news by ESPN.

LOL!! I know!

I meant it was slow here in SE Virginia. They actually talked about it on the local news last night at 11. These people have nothing else to talk about.

The big news today? All the schools are closed...it hasn't started snowing yet but we are supposed to get 2-4".

Vick can own a dog, after his “supervised release” ends

Posted by Mike Florio on December 16, 2010, 9:51 AM EST

It has been widely assumed that Eagles quarterback Mike Vick may never again own a dog as part of the sentence imposed on him after he pleaded guilty to federal charges relating to dogfighting and gambling.

The perception has been fueled in part by the comments from Vick himself, who seems to believe that he needs special permission from the judge who sent him to prison in order to ever purchase or own a dog.

“I don’t know when that day is going to come,” Vick said last year. “It’s up to my judge at his discretion.”

More recently, Vick said that he “would love to have another dog in the future,” and that “if I ever have that opportunity again, I won’t take it for granted.”

As it turns out, he will have that opportunity again.

We tracked down (thanks to a reader who also is a lawyer) a copy of Vick’s sentencing order from December 10, 2007. And while the document states that “[t]he defendant shall not engage in the purchase, possession, or sale of any canine,” that limitation appears as a condition of Vick’s supervised release, otherwise known as probation.

Vick was placed on three years of “supervised release,” which began to run after he was released from prison. Thus, at some point in 2012, he’ll no longer be on supervised release — and he’ll be able to buy, own, and/or sell dogs.

Vick is allowed dogs in 2012

Not a bad idea Crow.

Seriously. I don't condone his treatment of dogs, but I don't think his treatment of them reflects a malicious core. Its much more likely a cultural thing. I mean, if you've ever been hunting (I've only been a few times myself) I'm trying to think how we "condone" that as a society under the mistreatment of animals general heading. That deer, rabbit, pheasant would likely say its treatment was just as inhumane as the dog.

Want worse? Go to a chicken processing plant. Had a guy who worked for Perdue tell me how those work. Wow.
