As if federal charges for illegal gambling and dog fighting weren’t enough, Michael Vick was cited for not wearing a seat belt during a routine traffic stop in Virginia over the weekend. The original reason he was pulled over, however, was because the tint on his windows was too dark.

Forget the tint on the windows – teenagers get pulled over hourly for that – but not wearing a seat belt when you’re already a marked man is extremely smart. Writing about something like this is nitpicking at this point I know, but it’s the same stupidity that already has gotten this fool into the current trouble he’s facing.

It’s like Pacman riding around without registration and insurance in, no less, a bright orange Lamborghini, which by the way didn’t have the right plates.

So I foolishly wasted almost an entire day waiting to see if Michael Vick would take a plea agreement for charges stemming from illegal gambling and dog fighting. Annnnddd I’m still waiting…

Apparently Vick is still weighing his options. What options he’s weighing, I have no idea, but he continues to dig a deeper hole (no insensitive pun intended) for himself. One of his co-defendants has already stated that Vick, “helped drown dogs” and I’m sure more specific information is ready to come out. Three out of the four co-defendants have taken plea deals and admitted guilt, so what Vick is waiting for I have no clue.

If he fights this I hope they lock him up for longer than five years, which is now possible, by the way, with the state of Virginia set to proceed with their own charges. If you’re insensitive to fight and kill dogs, and then even dumb enough not take a lesser sentence when one’s on the table, you deserve the worst punishment prosecutors can hand out. And actually, you deserve the worst punishment that can be doled out, just for being insensitive enough to fight and kill the dogs.
