Michael Vick Blames Family for Neglected Dogs

Michael Vick has an excuse for every mishap that he encounters, so why should the neglected dogs be any different? During an appearance in New York today, Vick blamed his very own family members for the questionable discoveries made at a home he owns in Virginia.

"I'm never there. I'm never at the house," Vick said. "I left the house with my family members and my cousin. They just haven't been doing the right thing. The issue will get resolved."

By law, Vick is accountable for his property even if he was not present and could still face charges.

"It's unfortunate I have to take the heat behind it. If I'm not there, I don't know what's going on. It's a call for me to really tighten down on who I'm trying to take care of. When it all boils down, people will try to take advantage of you and leave you out to dry. Lesson learned for me," Vick added.

I wouldn't say the lesson is learned just yet. If an investigation yields enough results that an arrest is warranted, then I'd say he learned his lesson. For Vick's sake, I hope he's not lying and trying to practice damage control. He's stumbled onto some real back luck lately that doesn't seem to be going away and sooner or later it's going to bite him in the ass.

Perhaps it's time for some sort of lifestyle change.
