Deadspin
Michael Vick, you bastard! You moved the headstones, but you didn't move the graves! You didn't move the graves!
A search warrant issued, but not served, on the property owned by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick sought to unearth the remains of "approximately 30 dogs buried in various locations on the property." The warrant stated "reliable sources of information reveal" the presence of the dog remains and, on May 22, "was informed that on or about April 23, 2007, that seven pit bulls were destroyed and buried in shallow graves on the property."
At this point, whatever happens to Michael Vick he completely deserves. What's next, baby smuggling? You have to give him one thing, though: This was a unique way to go down.
We just pray to God he's not involved in cat juggling.

Zsa Zsa Gabor looks like shit.
It's only fitting that I watched 28 Days Later last night.
This story keeps getting more and more weird. I love it.
To clarify, I do not love dog-fighting. Just Michael Vick being an idiot.
at least he buried them instead of using the old garbage bag trick
My lab took one look at that pic and barked. I ain't even bullshittin'.
It's not a pet cemetary without Fred Gwynne.
Hmm. Mass graves. How Slobodan of you, Mr. Vick.
The man was just composting. What, so environmentalism is illegal now?
Commonwealth's attorney Gerald Poindexter
that's an unfortunate name
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Mike Vick is no Pig Eye Jackson.
I had difficulty in taking that scene from "Poltergeist" seriously, because the guy who played the heavy (James Karen, according to IMDB), played the avuncular guy in the local Pathmark Supermarket commercials.
So why hasn't the search warrant been executed?
Sounds like Vick is in grave danger of being punished.
Paulie would've made sure that nobody's finding those dogs...
OK, I have to ask if we have any lawyers here because I am completely baffled at how the prosecutor says he can't link Vick to the dogfighting when he owns the fucking house.
But, Will, where do YOU find time to juggle?
@Seabass: Dammit! I was just about to write that Vick has dug his own grave in this situation.
@econdave:
I have difficulty taking any movie seriously when it didn't have Malibu in it.
Matt Schaub is the Atlanta football version of Scott Kazmir for Los Mets and this is delightful in every way.
Melo would like to have a word with Michael's friends.
This issue is going to dog Vick all season long.
Clinton Portis thinks that it's Vick's property and Vick's dirt and whatever we wants to do with it is his business.
Is it weird that I'm probably more upset by this story than if Vick had shot someone?
@BowdenBowdenBowden: "The DA didn't like the language."
No, really.
"In his letter to Goodell, Humane Society President Wayne Pacelle linked three former NFL players to dogfighting: Nate Newton, LeShon Johnson and Tyrone Wheatley. All were also mentioned in PETA assistant director Dan Shannon's letter."
Nate Newton? Nate Newton? I was all for the guy transporting weed in a van, but now this? No more postcards to this prison pen pal.
@Burnsy: Nope, no idea where you'll find one.
"We just pray to God he's not involved in cat juggling."
Maybe not, but we know he's involved in a lot of kitten punching.
People are always hounding this guy.
We're 30 dead dogs away from the Joey Harrington era beginning in Atlanta...
(cries to himself)
@Diddly: The hell? Was it too vague? too flowery? too many dangling participles?
The tip apparently came from some guy named Harry Joeington.
We are the world, we are the children, we are the ones who make a better life, so let's keep on giving.
Remember that song baby? The night I fucked you in the pet cemetery?
@Burnsy: Fortunately, they're already beginning production for Revamped 2: Joey Harrington's Revenge. It's about Atlanta's QB situation after Vick gets shitcanned for the year.
Malibu plays Vick, of course.
@SlickBomb: Yes. Yes it is.
@crazyjoedavola:
Charlie Garner wishes Tyrone Wheatley's involvement would have been discovered about five years ago.
@Encouraging Referee Pitman: No. Because most people who get shot have probably done something that deserved shooting.*
*innocent bystanders and war crime victims notwithstanding, blahblahblah
You know, search warrants weren't executed at my property yesterday either, but you don't see ESPN rushing to cover the lack of their execution...
Oh, right...
@BowdenBowdenBowden: I would prefer it if Vick was executed instead. He is a waste of the air we breath.
It's bad when we Falcon fans yearn for the days when our QB was just an insufferable asshole like Jeff George.
Can't he just check himself into some sort of rehab, admit he was an abused child, do the talk show circuit, cry for Oprah, and then go back to playing ball soon?
This scandel is taking too long to break wide open! Speed things up ESPN! You're making US Weekly and ET look like the Grey Lady!
@Oops Pow Surprise:
That's it, I'm demanding a Malibu blog. I want a webcam on this guy 24/7.
Two different movie references in a single post? If some schmuck did that in a comment, Iracane would have them killed.
@Mackey Sassers Right Arm: At least Joey Harrington can complete a pass.
Cat: The other white meat.
Cat juggling is only impressive if they haven't been declawed.
@Burnsy: We have no criminal attorneys at this website. Move along, now. Nothing to see here.
@BowdenBowdenBowden: I assumed that there were sentences ending in prepositions. I don't actually know, though, and seeing as how it was Virginia, it could have been anything.
Why does it surprise anyone when NFL athletes self-destruct? This is a sport that rewards size, speed and an incredible tolerance for violence.
Look at the average defensive player in the NFL. You have to be a little off your rocker to think, "Hey, I want those guys chasing me around all day!"
I feel terrible for the animals that have been harmed, if these allegations are true. But when it comes to erratic behavior by NFL players, heck, playing in the NFL is erratic behavior for the average person.
While you can't even preview a Vick # 7 "Mexico" short at NFL.com, it will let you preview/order the #7 shirt with the "Dogfighter" on the back. Anyone Falcons fan with $259 bucks should check it out.
@Diddly: Too many dangling participles, perhaps?
Marlo Stanfield can make an inconvienent dog disappear
@ArkansasFred: You think Joey Checkdown can really make an adjustment like that? It probably sounded more like "Joey Har-- uhh, Mr. Joe... no... Harringto---fuck it there's dead dogs (click)"
Say what you will about Vick, he sure is elusive.
Can dogs get herpes?
Anyone Falcons fan? Short? That's crazy talk!
Want some whiskey in your water
Sugar in your tea

This is the craziest party there cou
