Michael Vick is Releasing His Autobiography
PFT – Vick will release his autobiography Michael Vick: Finally Free on July 27, with a foreward from Tony Dungy. Vick’s eagerness to capitalize financially on his remarkable play last year is not a surprise and it’s understandable considering the money he still owes to creditors. That doesn’t mean the book will be worth reading, although USA Today excerpted an interesting section where Vick admitted a bad habit for lying, even to his defense attorney. “My propensity for trying to lie my way out of trouble only made my consequences more severe,” Vick wrote.
I’m going to put aside for a moment by firm belief that before someone be allowed to write a book, they must first have read one. And something tells me Cruella de Vick wasn’t walking around the Virginia Tech campus with his nose buried into a copy of Atlas Shrugged. But the larger issue here is: Isn’t this against the law? The Son of Sam Law, to be exact? Which makes it illegal for you to profit from your crimes by writing a book about them afterward? And let’s not kid ourselves that this is anything other than profiting from crimes. Plenty of people will want to read this garbage merely and solely because they want to hear Vick talk about how he fought, tortured and killed dogs. I mean, no one’s going to read Michael Vick: Finally Put Up Some Decent Passing Stats After a Career of Being a Glorified Running Back Who’s Never Won Shit. This book will basically be a literary snuff movie. And a good (un)healthy percentage of the dickbags who buy it will immediately thumb through it to find the electrocution stories or the part where Vick grabbed dogs off the street to get his fighting dogs hungry for blood. If that’s not profiting from your crimes than nothing is.
PS. Nothing proves what a sanctimonious donkey Dungy is than the fact that he’s putting his name on this fishwrap. “I’m so proud of Michael Vick and honored to call him a friend” says more about the man than I ever could. Please, Rodney Harrison, I’m begging you. Make this be the year you slap St. Anthony in the head on live TV. @JerryThornton1

The obsession with hating Michael Vick is bizarre. I guess it’s just a case of Jerry doing what he always accuses Shaugnessy of, cranking out the same old shit because he knows it will draw a strong reation. I’m sure I could list 10 bigger sports scumbags in 2 minutes.
How is this book going to make any money? Over 97% of Vick’s fans are illiterate.
I’d rather read that book then anything you write
[...] Michael Vick will be releasing his autobiography on June 27. [...]
I will be sure to send a signed copy to barstool headquarters just for you Jerry. You dumb piece of shit.
but you are reading this jiriwelsch ? so i take it you will be buying a copy of this low llfe scumbag. by the way i think hes more writing it for sympathy about how tough jail was and how much hes learnt and how its made him a better person, bla bla bla you son of a bitch
Wicked Mr Pickett,
Michael Vick is definitely in the top 5 of worst crimes committed by sports figures in my lifetime, so nice try. He was found quilty of brutally murdering dogs. What shit are you smoking that makes you think he is not an evil human being?
also this is an autobiography, so hes writing it himself, love to see a market on spelling mistakes
pickett it’s been 20 minutes and you haven’t named any yet
So a major American sports figure… a guy who was talked about as an MVP candidate as late as December… goes to jail for a heinous crime and you think when he does something it’s not newsworthy? And if I comment on him coming out with a book that helps him profit from his crime, that’s the same as Shank trying to comment on the Bruins by calling up the ’78 Red Sox or whatever? How do those two equate in any way?
Actually, never mind. Don’t answer. I know it’s just a kneejerk thing you would’ve said no matter what the subject of my blog and regardless of the quality of my writing. So fuck it. I don’t care to hear you explain the connection. Just dazzle the rest of us with your list of 10 bigger sports scumbags than Cruella de Vick here. This should be good.
It should be illegal for you to profit off of your criminally bad blogs, Jerry.
10 bigger scumbags than a dog murderer, herpes spreader, and a guy who gave the finger to his own fans? please have at it mr pickett……
I will buy his book.
Also Rodney Harrison was a dirty player who took HGH.
Yes Mr Pickett it is bizarre to hate someone who brutally murdered dogs in his free time. How could anyone hate someone like that? These people are crazy..
^^ Rodney Harrison isn’t a criminal. Michael Vick is a convicted felon.
even jerry’s comments are fucking long and heavy on bitch.
10 bigger scumbags than mike Vick?
1. Marvin Harrison (murderer)
2. Ray Carruth (murderer)
3. Jayson Williams (murderer)
4. Ray Lewis (murderer)
5. OJ Simpson (murderer)
6. Lawerence Taylor (rapes young girls)
7. Mark Sanchez (rapes young girls)
8. Mike Tyson (rapist and beats up old women)
9. Uggie Urbina (murderer)
10. Ben Roethlesberer (rapist)
Not that hard bro.
Jerry has the GAY.
Not a fan of either but when did Sanchez or Roethlesberger actually rape someone?
1,4,5,7 Were not even proven guilty.
lol @1, nice fuckin try bro.
7, not even close. and im a hardcore pats fan.
3= reckless driving/manslaughter.
Atleast give legitimate examples if your gonna list names you fuck.
Oh and what Mike Tyson did is not worse then Vick, and don’t say roethlisberger. Innocent until proven guilty
do a little more research on Jayson Williams smart ass. There is no car involved in shooting your driver in the face with a shotgun so reckless driving is kind of the dumbest thing I have ever heard
If you dont think Harrison is as guilty as OJ you are an idiot. same with Ray Lewis too. The only stretch is Mark Sanchez who can be replaced with Kobe Bryant/ Allen Iverson or one of countless athletes who have raped people
Wow get busy with some work and don’t get a chance to answer my own question. I’d agree with …. list, throw in Jason Kidd and Brandon Marshall (you know, cuz I strangely happen to think women matter more than dogs), that guy from the Rams that killed someone drunk driving and then CONTINUED to drive drunk, and that’s literally not giving this two seconds though. So I guess all you guys that bet on horse races are outraged that the horses are whipped? Listen I don’t think what Vick did is cool, but in a world full of scumbags why he gets held up as the ultimate sumbag amazes me.
anyone other than @ilikesuckingpaytonsballs wanna question the list? seemed like a lot of other people thought it couldn’t exist
P.S. if you think raping women isn’t as bad as killing mutts you should seek professional help
peytonsucksballs your arguments are as simple as you claim Vick is.
what …….. said. you gotta be a fucking looney or complete hater to not accept that after repaying his huge (prob bigger than it shoulda have been) debt to society, vick has gone above and beyond in what was required of him to do to be re-accepted into society. since vick got out of jail, name ONE thing that would be classified as a setback. thats right, NOTHING. he’s done everything right in my opinion and has become a man. i would have no problem with him every playing for the pats.

Yes Mr Pickett it is bizarre to hate someone who brutally murdered dogs in his free time. How could anyone hate someone like that? These people are crazy..
Not my point at all, THEY ARE FUCKING DOGS. I love dogs, but you know if my sister was going to choose between marrying a rapist or someone who was involved with dog fighting, which one do you think I’d pick?
Mr Pickett I don’t understand your logic whatsoever. Why can’t you hate both?
Jerry, even you don’t believe your own dumb retort to me, right? The comparison is you just threw out a hacky piece because it invloves Vick and the guy is a lightening rod. Same thing you clowns (I’m lumping you and Portnoy together) do with Shaughnessy, like just the other day when one of you joked that Shaughnessy was going to replace the cover if his Red Sox book with a Bruins cover.
DO you want more people for the list? Because I’m sure I can take 15 minutes of research and come up with 25 more scumbags bigger than Vick. You could probably do the same if your 50 year old ass understood this “google search” thing and you didn’t have to go digging through a thesaurus.
and JC2, of course he has done everything possible to repair his image. It would be retarded of him not to do so, its the only way he can pay off all of his debt. 1 fuckup and he will be bankrupt for the rest of his life. That is some pretty damn good motivation, it doesn’t mean he is a better person now.
^^ You can Shaquita, but if any of the people listed above wrote a book do you think Jerry would post a piece on it? Jerry just wrote that Vick is one of the 5 biggest scumbags in sports.
Anyway I hate this whole debate because it’s proving my point, the lazy hack Thornton knows he can post anything about Mike Vick and it will generate interest. He threw it out and I bit, so shame on me. That was my whole point.
Mr Pickett what the fuck does the fact that there are a ton of scumbags in sports have anything to do with hating Vick? He is talking about Vick because its in the news and happening right now. Why would he blog about Jason Kidd, etc. when that happened years ago and there is no relevant news happening right now. Aren’t we allowed to hate more than 1 scumbag athlete? Your fucking brain dead dude. If Jason Kidd tried to write a book about beating his wife then im pretty sure they would blog about it.
and also anyone who thinks vick was literally choking and drowning dogs with his bare hands in person should stick a gun in their mouth at a 45 degree angle. he set the guys up with an area to do it (his house in VA) and with cash to run the league. stupid fucking faggots you guys are. also …. is right that raping women is much worse than killing fucking dogs.
jerry and these other fucktards trying to act like big righteous humanitarians by saying they hate vick and he should have gotten the death sentence blah blah blah just shut the fuck up and try to understand how the world works and what crimes are more heinous than others. also pretty funny how ….. literally shut the whole conversation down when he actually presented a list that was accurate (although i’d replace sanchez with stallworth). fuck you fake ass haters.
-by …….
Lets not forget about-
Rae Carruth
Lawrence Phillips
Dante Stallworh
and one last thing dont think for a second that i dont think raping women or killing dogs makes you a piece of shit, but i believe most everyone deserves a second shot at rebuilding their image and being a model citizen.
Shaquita you are an idiot. Jerry is the one making Vick’s book about dogfighting. Jerry is simple. Any story at all involving Vick Jerry is somehow going to use as a way to bring up Vick’s involvement in dogfighting.
All i was sayin is that half the people on ……..’s list weren’t even proven guilty, including Sanchez and Ray Lewis. Do not list someone for a list like that if they haven’t been convicted.
What part of innocent until proven guilty do you not understand?
I don’t even get what you guys are trying to argue. I didn’t see anyone say that killing dogs is worse than raping chicks or that Vick should have got the death sentence. Just because there are bigger scumbags in sports doesn’t change the fact that Vick is still a scumbag. For all of you who don’t have a brain and can’t figure out why Jerry takes the time to hate on Vick: There are a ton of Vick apologists out there who think for some strange reason that the revival of his football skills somehow mean that he is magically a better person. Of course he is doing everything possible to repair his image, his finances depend on it. And writing this book is using his crimes to his advantages to pay back the debt he owes for his crimes. Anyone who doesn’t see how that is fucked up and wrong is retarded.
Mr Picket the name of the fucking book is “Finally Free”. So tell me, is Jerry the one who wrote all the parts in the book about dog fighting? Arguing with you is like arguing with a blind and deaf autistic person. Its completely pointless
well that was fun @JerryThornton, @ peytonsucksballs, @ Godshamgodisblack, and @ EZBreezy222
I hope you enjoyed getting owned. give me a call when you want to be proven wrong again
……. out
…….,
You didnt prove me wrong. and shaquita, thank you, legitimately my thoughts exactly.
Guy is a heinous individual, a convicted felon, and he should not be on the same list as people who are “alleged” felons.
^ bro you said jayson williams was arrested for “reckless driving” I think i sufficiently proved you wrong
You were alot more wrong than I.
I’d like to see you sit down in a room with Rae Carruth, Lewis, Sanchez, Roethlisberger and Harrsion and tell them all that they are worse human beings than Mike Vick.
While Carruth would be nodding his head in agreement, Harrison, Sanchez, Ray Lewis and Roethlisberger would all be taking turns beating the shit out of you for accusing them of that.
For the record, I don’t put animals on a par with humans. Never have. And honestly, I think the sentence he served was just about right for running an interstate criminal enterprise and lying to feds. But I didn’t just wake up today and decide to rip Vick. This is a news item. I reacted to it. And included the most important element: that he’s profiting from his crimes. Put them all together and they spell “B-L-O-G.”
Also, I don’t always talk about dogfighting. Sometimes I just point out that Vick is a shitty passer.
@ peytonsucksballs If I was in a room with all of those clowns I would have been killed and had my dead body raped before door closed. I don’t think you just made the point you think you made.
*before the door even closed
and ill take your lack of response as you approve the list, Jerry. I’m glad we can agree on this matter
Vick is the type of dunce that puts under the Interest section of Facebook: “Don’t read books.”
Nobody remembers that some of those dogs were assholes
^^Haha, uncalled for, but funny Monkey.
I hope he didn’t have his nose buried in Atlas Shrugged. Terrible book by a terrible writer. Every word of that book killed more of my brain cells than any vicious saturday night ever did.
