snip from aticle:
"Now, granted he might have been to a dogfight a time or two, maybe five times, maybe 20 times, may have bet some money, but he's not the one you're after. He's not the one you're after, he's just the one whose going to take the fall -- publicly."
No, Emmit. It says he owned and ran a dogfighting enterprise. It says they found 60+ dead carcasses on his property. It says they rounded up animals that had all the earmarks and signs of having been in dogfights. It says they found items associated with dogfighting: a pit, rape stands, treadmills etc.
Yes, Emmit, I agree they are looking to go after bigger fish, but Vick wan't a minnow in the pond, he was a pretty decent sized fish in his parts.
snipit form article:
But Smith also placed some blame on Vick, saying athletes need to realize they have to break ties with some people from their past "because where we're going, it's not for everybody to come with us. You have to learn to cut some of those guys loose. Because the things that they do, we cannot do no more."
So what you're saying Emmit is: Vick bears some blame,but not much.If not for his bad choice in friends he would be OK. Umm no, he has been warned for years about his associations and he doesn't give a shit. He obviously wants to be associated with and participate in activities that his friends and he share in common. You are right about severing ties with the old crowd. But he did not. There fore he is soley responsible for his actions. He made a choice.
That's how I read it Level. If he had said Vick is a pawn for the bigger catch without adding the excuse factor and the " well maybe kinda sorta was involved", I would read it like you.
