Vick's Release -- 'A Beautiful Thing?!'

A whole lotta pooches probably aren't too happy Michael Vick was released from prison this morning -- but we found at least one guy who is: Retired football player Warren Sapp.

Warren Sapp: Click to watch
Last night outside Villa, Sapp said Vick has paid "more than enough" for bankrolling a dogfighting ring, and calls his release "A beautiful thing."

Vick will serve his final two months of his federal sentence on house arrest in his Hampton, Va. home.

62. Vicks is a criminal through and through!!!!! piece of garbage that needs to be discarded.

Morons that support him obviously have no idea what this man did to these dogs. They were pit bulls but still defenseless. They had no choice but to fight and to be tortured by him and his posse. Teeth sharpening while awake?? They did not have the choice to leave after a hard nights work..completely voiceless.

What about the poor dogs that were used for bait before the fights? think about who you are idolizing and give your heads a shake. Cannot believe that he still has supporters. Who are these people?

64. none of this has to do with his race. what all this has to do with is the fact that he mistrated and tortured innocent animals. now i like a good steak just as much as the last person. but i hate the fact that he put those dogs through hell just to have a good time and make some money. the a** hole is RICH!!!! honestly he should have to go through the same thing that those poor animals went through. if he wanted a fight, he should have put his pretty face in front of a fist like a real man. not hide behind dogs like a pansy!!!!!! it is people like him that give pitt bulls and rotweilers a bad name. i feel no compassion for him. he was housed in leavenworth prison that is about 45 minutes away from where i live. wish i could have spit on him when he got out of jail. people like him dont deserve to have the luxury of playing football. no matter what the crime is. why is it they can get away with stuff that us normal folks would get the book thrown at us???? its all about the money. plain and simple. not race.

68. Let's toss around the idea that Sapp had an invested interest in Vick's ring. Why else would a great retired football player who WAS decently respected make such an idiotic statement and lose all credibility. What a jack azz.

70. i cannot believe that he their is no justice for these poor dogs who died,suffered and was murdered just for the sport of it would want someone like that in their company let alone a team.There was no reason in the world for him to be running a dog fight considering the amount of money he makes/made at the time.Apparently their cars are more precious to them than a living animal.A big chump of his salary should go to a shelter to help pitbulls who have to endure this pain and suffering and death.WHY DIDN'T PETE ROSE GET INTO THE HALL OF FAME,the only thing he did was a little gambeling and got treated like crap considering he never did harm anyone.
I wish someone would give Michael Vick some demoral..He makes me so sick
