Falcons to Vick: Get Your Sh*t Together!

Posted Aug 24th 2007 6:12PM by TMZ Staff

Statement from Atlanta Falcons Owner Arthur Blank Regarding Michael Vick's Plea Agreement and Indefinite Suspension:

"Today, Michael Vick admitted his guilt to very serious charges related to his earlier indictment. His admissions describe actions that are incomprehensible and unacceptable for a member of the National Football League and the Atlanta Falcons."

"We respect and support the Commissioner's decision today to place Michael Vick on an indefinite suspension. As with other actions he has taken this year, the Commissioner is making a strong statement that conduct which tarnishes the good reputation of the NFL will not be tolerated."

"We hope that Michael will use this time, not only to further address his legal matters, but to take positive steps to improve his personal life."

4. What a SICK man!! I'm glad to see that justice was served!! Now, why aren't there more strict penalities for people who endanger others lives by driving under the influence... Vick got his in the end... What about all those stars out there- Paris, Nicole, Lindsay, and the rest that DRIVE DRUNK.... Vick is facing some time - 5 years and fines.... I wonder what the ruling will be ... but glad he is OUT off the field!!!

7. Another one who will ultimately be addressed ffrom American sports history.
Didn't he know of Pete Rose?
Sure he did. They all think they are to smart to get caught.
Commissioner is right. All stats related to him will have no name next to it.
Greed was the motive.

8. Hopefully, he will be rehabilitated.

10. Enjoy arena football Mikey boy, that is after you get out of the slammer. Oh and don't forget the state of Virginia will meet on Sept 25 to decide if they are going for a piece of you.

11. Now the naacp are calling for Michael Vick to be exonerated and to be given a second chance to be a good citizen. He didn`t give even one dog a second chance. Next they will be calling it a race card. Dog abusers come in every color and all need to be arrested and given the maximum fine and jail time.

12. I think Vick should also he held responsible for the destruction of those 54 dogs that his company mentally damaged to the point they will need to be destroyed.

But that's actually my second choice. Number one... dip him in bacon fat. Lock him in a room with those 54 dogs. About 24 to 48 hours should do the trick. Dogs love bacon.

That animal cannot be rehabilitated.
He has expressed no regrets except for being caught.

Bravo for the NFL. Sending a message that crap like this will not be tolerated. Go back to the hood vick and don't rear you disgusting head again.

14. I think Vick was just trying to be a good business man. hey, we all can't succeed in every business venture. Did I mention I'm taking rap lessons?

15.

It proves this point. You can't take trash and give them 20 million dollars. They're too stupid to handle it. I say give the trash atheletes 200,000 per year to play and win. If they don't get arrested for for shooting anybody, raping, assaulting, drugs or any other number of crimes, then they will get their 20 million at the end of their contracts. I know that will never happen, but something has to be done to these criminals. Just a bunch of gangbangers in uniform.
