In nearly identical fact summaries, both Phillips and Peace stated that the dogfighting ring's "operation and gambling monies were almost exclusively funded by Vick." Additionally, both men fingered Vick in the execution earlier this year of about eight dogs that performed poorly in test fighting sessions. Phillips and Peace each told investigators that Vick participated in killing the dogs, which were hung or drowned, and that the animals "died as a result of the collective efforts" of the trio.
Vick's boys turned on him and he's left to fend for himself. I guess that"stop snitchin" thing doesn't extend to felony dog fighting charges.
These charges are just nasty and Vick has and will pay dearly. He's lost numerous endorsements and isn't expected to play a down this year.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has laid down the gauntlet and is enforcing the league rules with zeal. I would imagine that many NFL players will think twice about what they do and who they associate with from now on.
