The Michael Vick Project

This could be a very interesting show.  Mike Vick raw and uncut, talking about his dogfighting days..  Do we really want to revisit that one?  I for sure just want to see the man move on.  As a Pitbull owner, I don’t hold him responsible for anything it was and still is what people continue to do.   I’m not sure why people have to do anything to a dog that naturally looks like it will tear your head off.  If you love the Pitbull it’s the best friend you and your family would ever have.   So to all the rest of you Pitbull owner’s just love the dog it will surely protect you and your family naturally.  You don’t have to train it for that you need to train it so it doesn’t go to the bathroom on you nice new carpet..  LOL..  Outside of that just let it be a dog and love it. 

Anyway..  LOL  don’t forget to check out the Mike Vick Show on BET tonight @ 10:0pm EST.

Michael Vick returned to the site of his gruesome dogfighting crimes, looked at an empty dog bowl left behind in a dingy cage and wondered how he ever could have risked fame, freedom and fortune for “Bad Newz Kennels.”

“This is hard to imagine myself doing this years ago, man,” Vick says, cameras rolling.

His visit to the property he once owned in Surry County, Va., where he trained pitbulls for vicious fights and helped drown or hang dogs that didn’t do well, is a teaser of what’s ahead in his docu-series “The Michael Vick Project.”

Vick candidly tells how he became entangled in a dogfighting ring that sent him to prison and temporarily halted his NFL career as part of a series that debuts next month on BET. Vick says the 10-part series that premieres Feb. 2 will show he’s a changed man after a tragic fall from stardom he says “was all my fault.”

“At times, it’s hard to talk about it, but for the most part, if you talk about it and let it all out, it kind of helps put the demons to rest,” Vick told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Vick served an 18-month prison sentence for operating a dogfighting ring. He returned to the NFL this season as a backup QB with the Philadelphia Eagles.

In the first episode, Vick openly discusses living a “double life” of running the operation at the same time he was making Pro Bowls and signing a 10-year, $130 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons. Vick explains in detail the childhood experiences he had with dogfighting and how the activity morphed from his NFL sideshow job to a bustling second career that spanned state lines.

“I really took to it,” Vick said on the show. “I was intrigued by what was going on. It kind of excited me and I gravitated to it.”
