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.

31. To " ME" again. YOUR COMMENTS: 28. 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!

You obviously don't read! What don't you get about, "Personally", and "In my opinion" etc.? You just indicated to me that you most likely do not know the detail on VIck.

33. ....................Me @ 12:22 pm..............What are you really mad about?..............As to being a judge, you make judgemants all day long.............you judged SB's remarks above didn't you?................Yes, there are several felons and questionable players in the NFL...............I wish I could get rid of them also.............Will Vick play again?...............I don't think so..............he might........but he will be in trouble again, in or out of the NFL...................Look at all the life choices he has made up to the present..............one's charcter is basically set by 5 years old..............Vick is who he is............and playing football doesn't really mean that much except to those in the industry and fanatic fans., it is a a business..............Vick will be in trouble again.....................

34. Maybe him and OJ can share cells and talk about the good old days, what they HAD and foolishly lost by their OWN STUPIDITY. NOBODY is above the law, not even the law.

As for mom'a, get your own JOB loser. That's the risk you take in hanging onto other peoples' coat tails

35. That's where you are wrong i'm not mad. And I didn't judge her comments I basically addressed what was said. Maybe you should re read it. Again , all i'm saying is who are we to say how someones life should be. I can careless about Mike Vick he sure as hell doesn't care about me. All i'm saying is that there is a bigger picutre to the hatred that we show to one another. We are so harsh and if the truth be told if it was someone we were close to or loved we wouldn't want them subject to the hate that he is. His life choices affected him, me nor my children were affected by Mike and his actions. And if Vick is in trouble again that's on Vick not you nor me or anyone else. The level of judgement just really worries me with the world in which we live today! It's jealousy that perpetuates the hate of anyone in a high posiotion that fails to live up to certain standard be it institutional or communial at large we must treat each other better PERIOD!

37. Vick's mom can just get a J O B !!! Britney Spear's father is a fry cook and Vick's mother could waitress for him at his low class resturant.

40. post #1- my thoughts exactly. this guy pocketed 18 mil AND had a 4700 mortgage plus others with the all out spending sprees. seriously dude- one more tacky-ass athlete with no accountability, moral backbone... OR COMMON SENSE

41. ...............Me. @ 12:54 pm.........At your request..........I read your post again.........#27 & #34....................Your's as well as all these post are either judgements and or statements based on one's own perception and reading comprehension capabilities.........Of course you judged SB's remarks above...............Jealousy does not enter into any of the Vick detractor's thinking..............We just want to Vick to hurt forever..........hurt meaning, owning nothing.........That is what will hurt Vick the most because of who and what he is..............."Treating others better" would indicate that maybe you have not been treated very well..........and therefore, this is an important item in your particular life...............Now be careful how you reply, remember reading comprehension capabilites...........................................

42. Had to laugh out loud at #7 BigBen ... so this is all Uncle Sam's fault? Bwahahahahaaa! Talk about passing the buck, literally!

So what if Vic's gotta pay his taxes due...so does every other American, ya moron (if you're not already living off other peoples tax dollars that is). This idiot blew through 18 mil in a matter of a couple of years because he’s a self serving egotistical jerk trying to prove something with his bling-bling. Nobody’s impressed, nobody admires this guy, and he's an example of what NOT to do. Boo hoo!

If mama Vick did happen to know anything about his dog fighting days, she probably buried her head in the sand as long as she got paid.

43. Well, it's back to Section 8!

44. I dont care how much in taxes and managers, etc he had to pay of his $19 MILLION, he still had plenty to buy a couple of very nice homes and pay CASH. That is the STUPID thing a lot of nouveau riche screw up on - they get huge mortgages that they can't keep up. If ANYONE is fortunate enough to get huge sums of money, the first thing they should do is make sure they buy at least one home outright, so they have something to fall back on.
