Celebrity Justice
Michael Vick Scores In Prison!

Just when you thought Michael Vick's football career was over, he's resurrected it once again in the joint.

Apparently, Leavenworth's most athletic inmate is showing off his moves on the field, er, jail yard, and is quarterbacking the prison football team. Falcons owner Arthur Blank tells the NY Daily News, the disgraced baller is adjusting as well as he can to prison life, and is staying busy by doing dishes and writing letters.

For his toil and trouble as a dishwasher, Vick gets about 12 cents an hour. In his last season with the Falcons, Vick raked in $1.4 million, all part of a 10-year, $130 million contract that he signed in 2004.

He's set for release in July of 2009.

3. They should make him play against a lot of really mean, hungry dogs.

4. Michael Vick is the man. Dogs are the most annoying animals on this planet and good for him. We need more people like him to thin out the mutt populating.

8. Stick~TMZ needs to thin you out! You are one sick human being................


I agree with Barbara, that is to much money for him to receive for working in the kitchen. Frankly, I don't think he should be receiving a cent. Why is he getting out so soon? Where is the justice in all this?

9. Hang in there Vick. God bless you and your family. We know you made a mistake just like the rest of us. One thing here is that if you kill a human being instead of dogs, people wouldn't hate you this much. In this country, dogs have more value than human. So, lesson to learn here is whatever you do, don't mess with dogs.
Keep doing positive thing, and focus on the future. We all make mistake, keep praying, God will forgive you.

10. He shouldn't even be getting .12 an hour, he should be paying money to Pitbull Rescues! I should be allowed to play football until he's released. THose Pitbulls don't get to go outside and play ball, their dead!

11. It's good to hear he is playing in prison. Two years off the field definately wouldn't be good for his career when he gets out. If he keeps his skills up I have no doubt he will be able to play again.

12. Dallas, I am a sick human being because I do not like dogs? Do you like roaches and spiders? what about snakes? Snakes are a lot less irritating than dogs are.
Massa, You like to imagine people in jail having butt sex don't you.. From your interesting verbal tone it seems a fantasy of yours. Is someone close to you in jail? It is haunting to think of what is happening to him behind closed doors.
I am an ignorant son of a bitch because I do not like dogs? Sounds like you have anger issues pal and touching your filthy dogs on their private parts will never be okay, jot that down as a reminder.

13. Hey Massa, I would kick your dog into a coma.

14. I agree with tuna. Most of the people on here "outraged" about Mike Vick's actions probably don't even bat an eyelash when news stories about murder or child abuse flash across their TV's. We have been thoroughly programmed to react on demand, like Pavlov's dogs (gotta love the irony in that one). What better way to run the country into ruin while your brainwashed citizens are too busy screaming and demanding justice for dogs? This is not to say dogs aren't important, but as long as people think it's ok to blow the brains out of deer, quail, and other animals, I have a hard time buying this "outrage" over dogs. Sounds like people want Vick's head for another reason, and it isn't about any dogs.
