No More Big House for Vick's Mama

Michael Vick's prison cell may soon be more of a home than his mother has -- and it's all his fault.

Recent bankruptcy docs show Vick can't afford to pay the $4700/month mortgage payments for his mother's Suffolk home -- and he's hired a local realtor in Virginia to try to sell off the property.

To make matters worse, his mom, Brenda Boddie, won't earn her $100K income anymore -- because she works for Michael's company, which now is kaput.

The home is one of several Vick bought when he blew through more than $18 mil over a couple of years.

We reached Vick's mother at home and she politely declined to speak with us.

20. ...............Maybe I'll call my attorney, and get a book started and get Wesley Snipes to play the lead, (more sinister) and play Vick for what he really is.............No empathy or forgiveness from the public.............only disdain................And all the royalities evenly distributed among all the animal shelters in America.............Wow, hooray for Hollywood...................And Vick off into nowhere........................

21. ................Supporters.........How about getting a cup of coffee and sit down for a minute and just contemplate what all Vick has caused to happen........There are so many levels of trouble he has caused................One problem, might be an oversight,...........two problems maybe foolishness,..........three problems is getting to be an emerging picture,............The whole list of Vick problems is nothing but,..........well, you tell me............Can you still, in all honesty, think he got a raw deal?.......................Another poster said she would not change her opinion of Vick and that he got a raw deal........After thinking it over.........Do you still think that?......................

22. Vick will be getting out of prison this summer. Write to the parole board, prison officals....anybody. Make the m*****f***** stay where he's at.

23. wow what a great job Mom did raising her sons. One is a convicted felon who cruelly and viciously tortured animals and the other dirtbag lost a football scholarship for having sex with an underaged girl. What a family.

And what "job" did this woman have anyway? She looks like she probably had trouble signing her name on her welfare checks back in the day.

24. I think it is time for Mom to get a job or run to the welfare office!

25. Personally I believe she knew of her son's ways...... Hopefully this is just the beginning of VIck's payback.

Max - PLEASE don't even joke about a book deal.....Oh and by the way, NOTHING is changing that posters mind........ I do know that I am not kidding myself and that I hope to enlighten people that don't know the whole truth or otherwise about VICK by posting my comments/thoughts. I have never felt the need to do so before VICK and his proven atrocities. Whether or not WE sway anyone (?), I don't know...

27. Wow! Some people... I feel sorry if anything ever happens to someone in your family. The truth is he lost a lot by some very STUPID decisions, but the utter hate that's being spewed toward this man is a little over board! I hope you all can handle the fact that this man will return to the NFL and will be relevant again. Sorry you might not like it, but when you run a 4.2 forty and can throw a football like he does NFL owners can give a damn about PETA or any other org that will protest. The same thing that propel some to fight dogs, chickens, and whatever else is the same reason he will play again... GREEN! Period you might not like it, but it is what it is... Now, to the people that makes this about race on both sides of the aisle, does it really matter what whites think of blacks? And if your are black and you need a white persons approval, validation, or affirmation SHAME on you grow up!!!

My comments:

Personally I would forgive a tremendous amount of people with regard
to mistakes they may have made. Vick did not make mistakes. Vick made
very well thought out calculated decisions that are incomprehensible
to most everyone else’s mind. I again ask people that are
supporting Vick, do you actually know what he did? AGAIN, in my
opinion, this guy definitely does not deserve back to the NFL,
unbelievable skills or not. YLTIMATELY I do NOT believe that that he will be
supported by the NFL. It probably will take some work; however there
are not just a few PETA lovers out there making a statement, but all
pet owners and animal lovers across the US. I also don't believe that most mothers
want VIck on their communities team, as to have him as a bad role
model to their kids AGAIN. No, he did not ask to be a role model in the first place, but
he became one of the biggest let downs of all time. He took the opportunity and spit it and us in the face!

29. ..........Sandra Brooks @ 11:27 am.......your correct..............I don't know if we will sway anyone...........certainly not the ones who post their support,............. but maybe the ones who read the internet and never post their thoughts and then talk to their neighbors and friends.............Information moves at such a rapid pace.............As to my joke above......Hmmmmmm........."The Art of War".................never under estimate your enemy..............

30. To SB "I would forgive" So I must have missed the memo who died and made you in charge? Who gives a damn if you forgive are you the almighty? And he was a let down to whom? Himself, HIS kids, HIS family. I thomk we give ourselves to much credit when it comes to other lives. You are talking a person with a Black Lab and a Min Pin, and I love them both dearly. However, who the hell am I to judge. And he will play again. Ray Lewis, Pacman, Leonard Little, and a few other are still playing after seriously injuring or killing a human!
