Emmitt,
I am one of your biggest fans and I am disgusted by your comments on this.
Have you read the indictment?
Please do and re-think your feelings.
I used to be a fan of Michael's too but, not anymore. The term "Guilty by Association" was invented by cases like this. (Of course, that's assuming he wasn't there in the ring...watching those poor dogs kill each other."
Emmitt, do you attend dog fights?

Sounds like Emmitt was involved in dog fighting or something just as bad with those comments. He didn't sound too professional.

Emmit Smith, you are a complete idiot!!!!

Smith sounds suspicious in his comments. Does he know something about Vick's role that he isn't talking about? Does he know more about the culture that surrounds this type of thuggish, inhumane behavior than he's letting on about? Is he saying he condones the behavior? Never been a big fan of Smith's but this is rather strange coming from him nevertheless.

Hey Emmitt!!! What do you think would happen to Mike this season if Dick Butkus, Decon Jones and Mean Joe Greene were still playing?????? Ha!Ha! They would not give a crap about the league or the FBI, Mike would be taken care of very quickly! Might never walk again, but so be it.

I have always been a big fan of Emmitt Smith, and I am disappointed that he, soneone I thought was an honorable human being would say such things. Shame on you, Emmitt. Where there is THAT much smoke there if Fire. How do you exlain his finger at his fans? AQnd the coke bottle with the false bottom. Mr. Vick is a bum.

i have a prob with what howard said... why does everything have to b a race issue??? this could of been any white man playing football and the fans would react same way. as far as fbi goes they deal with facts not color of skin they had to have something on him for him to be indicted ... i love football its people like vick that shouldnt play at all if found guilty

What is Smith talking about? Was he drunk?

I. howard, U. idiot! E. smith, U. two.

Ironic how Smith can befoul his own name and game on the same day he is given the biggest honor in football.

Smith may well be right that the government may squeeze Vick for bigger fish. That's their job, and it's to the benefit of Vick if he decides to cooperate. Is there any justifiable reason for him to hold back criminal information on higher unnamed scumbags? Where Smith is being an ass is in trying to portray Vick as just a spectator, and that he is some sort of victim.

Why cant you people respect emmitt and his opinion about the subject? Some of you people are such hippocrats that its a dam shame, you act like yall so perfect like yall aint got a speeding ticket before or something. What about all yall motherfuckers who hunt and kill animals and say its for sport because thats a dam lie because you do it to feel like you got power. Why keep the dam losing dogs if you take them to the pound there going to kill them also so whats the fucking difference you jerks

Well well well how the peoples voice does come out. Now listen up. I'll say this once. In this country the government has been known to put the squeez on the little guy to get to the bigger fish and in this case the government surely knew that dog fightting and rooster fightting has been going on for hundreds of years right here in the States and one must ask why have they suddenly come alive now. Right on wrong Mr. Vick does know the difference and I would think that he would have an idea of what is going on on his property in his absence. Being responsible is the main issue here not race not status etc. What involvement Mr. Vick hhas in the whole matter will have to come out in court not the peanut farm.

since they are going after dog fighting they might as well go after cock fighting . I hear some famous people do that also

I dont like the idea that people fight dogs at all. But I also dont see why everyone is so focused on this when we have more important issues going on in this country. Like our troops, gas prices, the homeless, etc. When you start thinking of these issues the issue of Michael Vick and dog fighting just doesn't seem that big of a deal.

People are entitled to their opinion just like vick is entitled to his day in court. get a grip folks.

Mr Jackson, the reason the feds came alive now is because Poindexter was so ineptly trying to sweep the local investigation under the rug. Just as with so many civil rights cases in the past, the feds step in when the local yokels publicly flaunt their intention to ignore the law. Poindexter is probably guilty of criminal maleficence, and in a just world, he would be the next to be indicted.
And I totally agree with you that this isn't about race. It is a case that gained world attention, I watch the news on CNN International, and there was a cover up. My guess is that Vick should have little problem fingering plenty of white people higher up in the chain.
Thanks to Poindexter, this has blown up in importance, and we now know how widespread the problem of dog fighting is. That is a blessing. People in power will no longer look the other way in this country. Once again thanks to Poindexter, I expect there will be new laws written with drastic penalties from coast to coast.

I have always respected Emmit Smith and still do. He voiced his OPINION as you all have. I fail to see how that makes him any dumber then you. If you stop and read what he really said. Ive heard of dog fights going on for years in other parts of the country, and I'm just a man on the street who was never involved in dog fighting by association or attendance. But if I heard about it, how many others did also ? Did the FBI go after them ? Did the local state, county or municipal police ? No they didn't because I never saw headlines of any arrests or saw it on the news. Had Mike Vick been Joe Blow on the street it would have made page 20 news somewhere. But because Mike Vick is a celebrity in the same vein as Paris Hilton, the news media will crucify him and try him in the newspapers, and we'll be inundated with news of it for months to come whether we want to hear about it or not. This whole case and scenario isn't a race issue .... it's a matter of his celebrity status. When you read someone's comments, open your minds to what they are saying. Nowhere did I see Emmitt's comments defend Mike Vick, they simply stated fact that had he not been a celebrity, we wouldn't be reading about it.

I beg to differ, the first thing the majority begged america for in the Duke rape case was to allow those guys due process. However in the case of O.J., Kobe and now Vick you, the majority has already tried Vick and found him guilty. And you blast Emmitt for having an opinion, it is not like Emmitt said he was not guilty, he just stated his opinion...America is a free country, many minorities have given their lives for our freedom, and Emmitt has a right to voice his opinion...Just like those of you who have already convicted Mike Vick, if it were Peyton Manning you would be asking us to allow the case to go to trial...Our military doesn't only serve and fight for the freedoms of the majority.
