I agree with Eddy. I'm not saying dogfighting is nothing or not a big deal, but I do think people get a little crazy and go overboard concerning anything with dogs.
Because he got caught And had millions of dollars at stake you muppet ! Not because he felt remorse. Good men don’t do that If you want to respect someone pick a better role model ,Rather than someone that doesn’t even care you exist Let alone stick up for him
How did you get shannon was trying to throw him under the bridge? He served his time. I guess yall dont know what double jeopardy is? He was trying to get Vick to talk more on his documentary so he (shannon) can say he talked about it there first. In turn, getting him more views if the documentary blows up.... come on nitwits
"took full responsibility for his actions " 😒. Nah he took that sentence the judge gave him. Them ppl got him locked up to take his stake in that building project he was doing. Pay attention
Mike Vick was sent to prison under a brand new federal law (at the time). The law was written by a veterinarian in the US senate; a dog surgeon. The law makes transporting animals or animal fighting devices across state lines a federal crime. I worked in that senator's Capitol Hill office when it was passed and signed. Mike Vick was one of the very first people to be caught breaking that law and to be sentenced to prison for it. That's why he'd never seen anyone go to prison for dogfighting before. That's also why he went to Leavenworth, a federal penitentiary, and had to serve his full sentence. In it's early form, the bill was actually about rooster fighting but it was expanded to include dogs and every other animal bred for fighting purposes after discussion. Had the term "cockfighting" not made a few senate staffers giggle, Mike Vick wouldn't have served Fed time.
Last time I heard of cockfight they do that in Mexico unless it’s done in the USA underground. I grew up in an area where I’ve seen dog fighting didn’t like seeing it. So the government be sitting around just passing laws.
This dude was on course to be one of the NFL greats, then served a prison sentence in one of the worst prisons in America, then came back(was originally posed to be behind McNabb) and got the eagles to the playoffs(Lost to Packers in Wild Card). I know I missed some chunks, but this man's journey is insane.
Y’all just realized he killed the dogs by drowning hanging and electrocuting. He admitted to 6 to 8 of them. Just to be clear. Most people who hurt animals like that are psychopaths. If your you knew your neighbor did stuff like that in the past and apologize would you still like that person. Dog fighting one thing, killing the dogs in the way he did is insane.
Yes he threw the children's dog in with the fighting dogs because just fighting dogs is a little bizarre anyway and it illegal that it's even better if you can have your children watch the animals be torn apart.. more entertaining for the crowd you know
Vick is the biggest "what if" stories...not only due to his bad off field behavior that cost him years of his life, but also the fact he played and got where he got off of raw talent alone His arm is still one of the strongest ive ever seen and he took little to no time or effort on crafting that aspect of his game until deep into his nfl career Thats crazy

There’s a book (and documentary) about what happened to the dog afterwards.

Crazy thing is they normally do but they’re never forgiven but owners and coaches get caught up in stuff & they get a pass and less coverage & less consequences
Did the right thing and took accountability, but he also recognizes that he didn’t grow up thinking dog fighting was really gonna be that bad. I appreciated his honesty and insight into that. Vick did his time and is starting to reap some of the fame he was due before it all.
I don’t care what he says. Just the fact that he had it in him to do that in the first place and inflict that kind of pain on innocent beings. There’s nothing you could do to come back from that in my opinion.
Totally agree, he can get away with it because nobody saw it, or read what he did. Ray Rice knocked a woman out, would have gotten away with it until the video came out.
It was really fun to watch I’m live at games in Atlanta. He was the Falcons back then. He has always owned up to his mistake and has tried to do nothing but better himself from it. Much respect to him.
He doesn’t deserve forgiveness based on his crimes. Time served or not, his actions were completely inhumane. He deserves nothing. No fame. No glory. No recognition. He deserves to be forgotten.
@@kwesijohnson I’ve never abused or tortured animals, that’s for sure. I don’t think I’m better than anyone. But I spent 10 years as an Army Medic and I’m currently an RN. I prefer to spend my time helping people rather than hurting them. Vick is a disgrace.
Mike ever since the incident happend to his release from prison and all the way to this interview, this man never pointed fingers, never blamed anyone, and took accountability the entire way through. Nothing but respect Mike!
In or about April 2007, PEACE, PHILLIPS, and VICK executed approximately 8 dogs that did not perform well in ‘testing’ sessions … by various methods, including hanging, drowning, and slamming at least one dog’s body to the ground.” (Federal indictment PDF) A report by a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) investigator provided more details on the April 2007 killings, saying that the men hung approximately three dogs “by placing a nylon cord over a 2 X 4 that was nailed to two trees located next to the big shed. They also drowned approximately three dogs by putting the dogs’ heads in a five gallon bucket of water.” They killed one dog by “slamming it to the ground several times before it died, breaking the dog’s back or neck
The way he takes accountability is something a lot of people can learn from. He was my favorite player growing up and I owned a Pit for 12 years until he had to be put down yesterday. Vick seems so genuinely remorseful, I’d actually love to see him have a dog, raise it right, love it and get that love back just so he can show society that he’s rehabilitated.
Considering a similar dog fighting ring in Norfolk was found very soon after this and the people involved were sentenced to 15 years. I’d say he got off really easy being able to serve his whole time in a level 1 federal prison (that had tennis courts and a cafe) having to only do two years. He even got out and went back to the NFL to make millions of dollars for his family. He’s extremely lucky and should consider himself blessed.
People forgive people who do heinous things to quickly. Just because someone is punished or accepts punishment for doing something terrible doesn't mean they should gain back respect they lost.
He was my favorite player in the nfl. I watched football because of him ! Once he was kicked out ‘ I lost interest in the game still to this day !! Sad to say !! I grew up watching Vick and then boom ‘ he was gone!!
But I bet you you're the type to quickly forgive a child molester and say they're a changed person Vick admitted his wrong doing served his time and people still won't give this man no grace wow
He not only took accountability for messing things up for himself but also admitted he ruined opportunities for others with his actions his growth is admirable

I think Vick should’ve served 15 years and been banned from the NFL but that’s just me. Sickening that the NFL glorifies this chump when there are so many legends of the game that they could focus on instead.
Dude was a millionaire and bankrolled a dog fighting ring where dogs were tortured and killed. Dozens of dogs were saved but who knows how many were killed before it was broken up. He has never once apologized for the dogs killed. He is only “accountable” so he can be back in public and get money. Hes a demon
At the time he said he knew nothing about it and it was family that took advantage of him. This is not a mistake, this is a person with a horrible character, it wasn’t like a couple dogs died the fighting was until a dog died or the losing dog would be killed, they found over forty dogs buried on his property who knows how many more were killed. Ppl act like it was just a one time choice it was a lifestyle of a heartless mean person.
I was a huge fan of this man. When the news broke about the dog fighting it broke my heart. I read the sports illustrated issue about the dogs they rescued from his property and it was some of the saddest sh×t I've ever read. I will never look at Vick the same again.
@@skinfluithero4885saying get over it is wild lol, like yeah dog fighting is crazy already but him killing them personally via electricity and drowning when they lose is something else. Coming from a Vick fan
It’s a mistake to pick a dog up by the neck and smash it into the ground until it dies? Might wanna read some of the details, this dude doesn’t deserve freedom.

Crazy thing is they normally do but they’re never forgiven but owners and coaches get caught up in stuff & they get a pass and less coverage & less consequences
Exactly what i was thinking'
True… I still feel like those other guys should of took the charge for him I mean he was the one single handily financing there entire lifestyle
Did the right thing and took accountability, but he also recognizes that he didn’t grow up thinking dog fighting was really gonna be that bad. I appreciated his honesty and insight into that. Vick did his time and is starting to reap some of the fame he was due before it all.
Takes responsibility? He took responsibility because he was caught you fcking moron🤣🤡🤦
Idk if yall heard, he didnt go to prison for dog fighting. He went to prison for interstate commerce.
Didn't give up any other nba/NFL players that was at those fights...Solid Dude!
I was in Richmond during the Mike Vick trials. Wild times.
“No money…idea” 😂😂😂 classic
Bro was on his way to becoming the greatest quarter back
Ya ok, heavy boost
What if...
You pushing it a bit
Not even, he really was..
@@tymciach5003 not the greatest but he would’ve been up there. You kiss dogs on the mouth. Jackal.
Dogfighting is a horrific thing
I don’t care what he says. Just the fact that he had it in him to do that in the first place and inflict that kind of pain on innocent beings. There’s nothing you could do to come back from that in my opinion.
You people have more hate for people who hurt dogs than you probably do for pedophiles.
@@sniperwolvecope
Totally agree, he can get away with it because nobody saw it, or read what he did. Ray Rice knocked a woman out, would have gotten away with it until the video came out.
@@sniperwolve As long as the pedophiles admit what they did, then its alright.
@@sniperwolveno we hate them equally. So what’s your point?
I see Shannon is like DJ Vlad now, chop up one interview into 100 parts. 😂
I’m just glad he realized he was just wild and he not blaming anyone .. salute to Vick
Man if I was judged for what I did at 24 god help us all.
Facts ✅️✅️✅️
Cause whyte people love their dogs so it cant be forgiven
you’re old at 24 wtf lol
Amen to that

You be surprised how many people didn’t know Dogfighting was really illegal until Mick Vick did it.
....everyone knew dog fighting was illegal. Ai, like what?
I can guess ur skin color
@@justinzinkowski5933it’s just cope from the degenerate criminals
How stupid do you have to be to thinking fighting dogs is okay? Wild
Why would you think it wasn’t illegal? Lol you’re killing a dog for losing a make believe fight
💯 Mike. Nobody knows what they’ll do with money until they get it. Not millions but I’ve blown 100K before and 40K…
Two minds with out a single thought.
It was really fun to watch I’m live at games in Atlanta. He was the Falcons back then. He has always owned up to his mistake and has tried to do nothing but better himself from it. Much respect to him.
You respect a dog killer. SMH
@@winst0n888yep I’m happy for him
He doesn’t deserve forgiveness based on his crimes. Time served or not, his actions were completely inhumane. He deserves nothing. No fame. No glory. No recognition. He deserves to be forgotten.
I am guessing you have never done anything wrong and you are completely perfect!
@@kwesijohnson I’ve never abused or tortured animals, that’s for sure. I don’t think I’m better than anyone. But I spent 10 years as an Army Medic and I’m currently an RN. I prefer to spend my time helping people rather than hurting them. Vick is a disgrace.
@@YourExGranPappiYou’re a Maga.
Only the Lord can determine who is forgiven or not. He served is time, and will never be forgotten as a human being 🍉
It’s disturbing hearing them both downplay dog fighting as if it was simply a bad investment.
Agree! Vick said not one thing about remorse for what the dogs went through. He's gross and deserved his failed career!
Cause dog fighting been going on since forever. It’s a sport in some cities
@@Poodie410 What's your point??
@@vigtime7816he did two years over some dogs. Nobody ever went to jail for it
@@Poodie410 You're a straight up L*ser. Now go back to smokin your Marbs and drinking your Colt 45's.
Mike ever since the incident happend to his release from prison and all the way to this interview, this man never pointed fingers, never blamed anyone, and took accountability the entire way through. Nothing but respect Mike!
Respect a dog killer. You are definitely not hard to impress.

In or about April 2007, PEACE, PHILLIPS, and VICK executed approximately 8 dogs that did not perform well in ‘testing’ sessions … by various methods, including hanging, drowning, and slamming at least one dog’s body to the ground.” (Federal indictment PDF)
A report by a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) investigator provided more details on the April 2007 killings, saying that the men hung approximately three dogs “by placing a nylon cord over a 2 X 4 that was nailed to two trees located next to the big shed. They also drowned approximately three dogs by putting the dogs’ heads in a five gallon bucket of water.” They killed one dog by “slamming it to the ground several times before it died, breaking the dog’s back or neck
He really didn’t take the easy way out, he said it was all me I did it, at least he took responsibility
The way he takes accountability is something a lot of people can learn from. He was my favorite player growing up and I owned a Pit for 12 years until he had to be put down yesterday. Vick seems so genuinely remorseful, I’d actually love to see him have a dog, raise it right, love it and get that love back just so he can show society that he’s rehabilitated.
after all that’s happened he should probably leave dogs alone some people will never be satisfied when it comes to that issue
Yup.he stayed TRUE TO HIS ROOTS. BUT used zero common sense! Watching animals.suffer is hood tough?
That's a sign of his growth n maturity. Admitting he was wrong n it was his idea. Also that his boss tried to talk him out of it
And there you go the admission that his boss who was at that time Andy Reid tried to talk him out of.
He's only sorry because he got caught.
Considering a similar dog fighting ring in Norfolk was found very soon after this and the people involved were sentenced to 15 years. I’d say he got off really easy being able to serve his whole time in a level 1 federal prison (that had tennis courts and a cafe) having to only do two years.
He even got out and went back to the NFL to make millions of dollars for his family.
He’s extremely lucky and should consider himself blessed.
How is this point relevant to this clip? You just wanted a soapbox?
I'd say that you're talking about literally different cases
He said, he didn't go to jail for dogfighting. Interstate commerce
@@Semi_Successful Yes interstate commerce related to dogfighting
What are you even talking about? What does some random dogfighting case in Norfolk have to do with Michael Vick’s criminal background?
You tried to set it up for the ookie doke, and he stood tall. Mike a real one.
I grew up in WV the older generation was into that and cockfighting its a sad Part of that region but luckily it's died out for the most part
Man I wish he could have kept that Union City investment, it would have been substantial today.
Way to bounce back Mike Vick! What a story! Enjoyed your time in Philly
People forgive people who do heinous things to quickly. Just because someone is punished or accepts punishment for doing something terrible doesn't mean they should gain back respect they lost.
You’re a clown. What Vick did was barely a crime. Most people in the hood don’t even know it’s wrong. Privilege.
You can take the ninja out the hood, but you can’t take the hood out the ninja.
Send them back to Africa
He was my favorite player in the nfl. I watched football because of him ! Once he was kicked out ‘ I lost interest in the game still to this day !! Sad to say !! I grew up watching Vick and then boom ‘ he was gone!!
Definitely protecting his boys
Human being can fight in the ring but dog is illegal to fight.
You are actually so (opposite word of smart)
I like Shay cus he ain’t scared to keep it real
No he dont
@@BroCoolFire you’re Jewish we get it. Lmao.

Michsel vick is awesome
Vick is gangsta. It’s not for Us squares wouldn’t understand 😂
There is no redemption for this guy in my book when you bring relentless harm to helpless animals that just want compassion
But I bet you you're the type to quickly forgive a child molester and say they're a changed person Vick admitted his wrong doing served his time and people still won't give this man no grace wow
Mike is still one of my favorite players of all time 🙌🏾
I like how he is not blaming anyone else but himself that's keeping it solid 👏
Genocide is a crime. Genocide is a crime.
Mike vick dog fighting business is the most hilarious thing in NFL history for me
dogfigthing ring might be dumbest idea i ever saw in my life
He not only took accountability for messing things up for himself but also admitted he ruined opportunities for others with his actions his growth is admirable

It's pretty realistic from where we come from so its not hard to believe that he would do that.....
Vick sounds like Carmelo when he talk lol
Micheal Vick has a great testimony. Keep moving forward and progressing bro. God has truly turned a positive into a negative for you.
I think Vick should’ve served 15 years and been banned from the NFL but that’s just me. Sickening that the NFL glorifies this chump when there are so many legends of the game that they could focus on instead.
Dude was a millionaire and bankrolled a dog fighting ring where dogs were tortured and killed. Dozens of dogs were saved but who knows how many were killed before it was broken up. He has never once apologized for the dogs killed. He is only “accountable” so he can be back in public and get money. Hes a demon
Did you grow up seeing dog fights as a child?
Cry
My grandfather was a big timer in the rooster fighting game back in my country. I know exactly what he means when he says he grew up in that
Growing up, there were only a handful of athletes that had mega popularity and Vick was one of them.
Newportnewz legend! I love my hometown... 💪🏾 badnewz reppin!!!!!
At the time he said he knew nothing about it and it was family that took advantage of him. This is not a mistake, this is a person with a horrible character, it wasn’t like a couple dogs died the fighting was until a dog died or the losing dog would be killed, they found over forty dogs buried on his property who knows how many more were killed. Ppl act like it was just a one time choice it was a lifestyle of a heartless mean person.
He never said family racist he said blank and them whitr folks stole 8 million

Massive respect for not blaming anyone else
I was a huge fan of this man. When the news broke about the dog fighting it broke my heart. I read the sports illustrated issue about the dogs they rescued from his property and it was some of the saddest sh×t I've ever read. I will never look at Vick the same again.

Accountability at its finest. Learn from the mistakes and don’t make the same one twice.
It’s a mistake to pick a dog up by the neck and smash it into the ground until it dies? Might wanna read some of the details, this dude doesn’t deserve freedom.

This baller is a stand up . wow never knew this smart and inteligent. PROPS VICK!
Great interview yet again by Bro. Sharpe!!
Filth then, filth now.
I appreciate that he even is open enough to speak about this
My favorite thing Mike says is "I" taking all the ownership. I know its a simple concept and yeah thats what he should do but we all know many times the blame is passed on down the line
He snitched on 8 people including his cousin
Followed you since VT your Ancestors still hella proud
