on Howard Stern they were talking about how Vick might be implicated in another case in Arizona and that a top 5 NBA player might be connected with this under-ground dog fighting ring. Dont have link as it was said on radio.

Arpaio: Vick investigated for Arizona dogfighting involvement

July 25th, 2007 @ 3:22pm by KTAR Newsroom, Associated Press

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is being investigated by his office for alleged involvement in pit bull fighting operations in Arizona.

"He's a person of interest as far as my office is concerned," Arpaio said. "I'm not talking about a case. I'm talking about a person of interest regarding pit bull fighting."

Arpaio said Vick's name has been "very familiar" to his office since "a while back."

He confirmed that his detectives have contacted Georgia authorities about Vick after the quarterback was indicted on federal charges involving illegal interstate dog fighting.

I wonder if his (Vick) name has actually come up or it's another person trying to get his 15 minutes.

Do you know who Sheriff Joe Arpaio is?

A white guy who like to dress up convicts.

A white guy who like to dress up convicts.

sounds like fun.

Arpaio's 15 minutes are long since established. He's probably the most famous (or infamous) Sheriff in the country.

 

[burmafrd]

He is the famous guy who puts his prisoners in tents and then makes them work real hard.

 

[Doomsday]

I wouldn't be surprized if it was Kobe, he just seems like a real class act!

That would be my guess too. As a Nuggets fan, I just hope its not Mello.

...and look pretty by making them wear pink underwear.

 

[burmafrd]

Had not heard about the pink underwear. Sounds like a good idea- make prison as detestable as possible so that no one wants to go back.

Who are the top 5, or even make it easier, say top 10.

Duncan
Kobe
LaBron
Dirk
Nash
Wade
Garnett
Melo
AI
Shaq still has to be considered top 10 in name at least.

Dog-fighting is apparently thugish behavior, so I think that pretty much rules out Duncan, Dirk, and Nash. Garnett and Shaq don't seem like the type (I would have thought Shaq back in his early wannabe rapper stage, but he is old now and doing that cop thing). Kobe is too LA. Wade seems clean cut, but I don't know him well enough. The obvious ones that list would be AI and Carmello, and to a lesser extent, LaBron.

As Stanley said, or hinted, Iverson is the one from the same area as Vick.

 

[Wood]

I am suprised nobody had pegged AI as that player. He has had several run-in with law in Philadelphia and still hangs with his posse from his getto days. AI and Vick are both east coast guys also.

The quintessential attention *****, who I suspect has political ambitions...

Agreed AI is the first player I though of.

Do you know who Sheriff Joe Arpaio is?

Yes he is a hack who thinks he is a modern day Wyatt Earp. He is looking for headlines here nothing more. He likes to see his name in the news and on newspapers.

 

[jcollins28]

Yeah but is AI really a top 5 NBA player anymore?

 

[StanleySpadowski]

AI and Vick are both east coast guys also.

They aren't just from the east coast, they grew up within minutes of each other.

Iverson is supposedly pretty close with Marcus Vick and whenever you find either Iverson or Michael Vick hosting a public event, the other is almost always an attendee.

It makes you wonder if Iverson's an attendee at "private" events.

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (AP) - NASCAR racer and animal rights advocate Greg Biffle didn't mince any words when it comes to indicted quarterback Michael Vick: "I just wish they'd put him in jail and be done with it."

Biffle was asked about Vick during a promotional appearance Wednesday for next month's Nextel Cup race at Michigan International Speedway.
Vick, the Atlanta Falcons star quarterback, was indicted last week on federal charges related to dogfighting operation he allegedly ran out of a home he owns in rural Virginia. If convicted, he could get up to six years in prison.

The founder of the Greg Biffle Foundation for Animals said Vick deserves the stiffest punishment possible.

"Just put him in prison and tell the general public, just give them all the details of what they do with those dogs," Biffle said. "How they steal people's dogs out of their front yards and use them for bait dogs and let other dogs kill them. There's all the horrifying stories. You look at all the pictures on the Internet of the dogs, just maimed, mangled. It's horrible."

Biffle's foundation donates to local Humane Societies, no-kill animal shelters, spay and neuter clinics and the Animal Adoption League. He hopes the Vick case will help stamp out the dogfighting underworld.

"It goes on everywhere. He's not the only guy. It goes on in this state too," Biffle said. "Maybe they'll use him as an example and maybe get some other people to think about whether they want to be in federal prison with him or not."
