He bought the dogs... that's what's going to kill him in the long run. Doesn't matter if he was present for any of the training, breeding, or combat. Vick bought the dogs, and I'm betting a witness or two will point him out in court as such.

The first is how PETA & the ASPCA are demanding the NFL suspend Vick for the year. The second is hw the NFL is asking Vick to volunteer to sit out the season without pay.

I'm not saying there's disparity in the league, but Jones was suspended once the charges were brought up. The ProBowl QB gets asked to sit out the season with pay? That's BS.

Falcons | Vick may be asked to take leave of absence
Fri, 20 Jul 2007 07:54:48 -0700

Len Pasquarelli and Chris Mortensen, of ESPN.com, report Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick could be urged by NFL, NFLPA and Atlanta Falcons officials to take a voluntary leave of absence and to focus his energies on the legal challenges from a federal dog fighting indictment confronting him, according to sources. Under such a scenario, Vick would likely miss the entire 2007 season. According to a league source, all parties involved are trying to seek a resolution before the Falcons begin training camp Thursday, July 26. "Something one way or the other is going to have to happen...by the start of training camp," the source said.

Actually, his biggest problem will be where he bought the dogs- supposedly from at least 3 different states. Once they were trnasported across state lines it became a federal isuue.

The problem is that Vick himself is a license dog breeder. Sure he bought dogs but he is linked to selling the dogs accross state lines for the purpose of dog fighting which will end up a major issue, not to mention the purchase of house and property/providing a means for this operation to exist.
There is also witness's that are claiming he was the guy who would hand deliever some of the big 'kitties' (winnings) to the owners ect.
All sorts of rumours going on tight now though including a deal maybe worked out where he serves little to no time. The other is that they want to make him the face of illegal dog fighting so they want to set an example.
