Buchanan isn't one to talk, is he? I've heard stories in the news that his cousin's are saying he knew about it as well.
Flowery Branch "? Another report has surfaced that claims Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was involved in illegal dog fighting.
Fox Sports Radio's Chris Landry told a Tampa Bay radio station on Friday that he was told by former Falcons player Ray Buchanan that Vick is directly involved in dog fighting.

Former teammate Ray Buchanan says Michael Vick 'not only knew about [alleged dog fighting], he is behind all of it.'
Attempts by the Journal-Constitution to reach Buchanan through a representative were unsuccessful. Landry could not be reached for comment.
Landry told the radio station that Buchanan told him at last month's NFL draft that Vick was definitely involved. "He tells me that Michael has been into this dog fighting for so long that ... he not only knew about, he is behind all of it, he's paying for all of it. ... Apparently, he's into it big time," Landry said.
An investigation of illegal dog fighting at property Vick owned, and has since sold, in Virginia is ongoing. Police were at the property in a drug investigation involving Vick's cousin when nearly 70 dogs, mostly pit bulls, were discovered. No charges have been filed in the case.
Buchanan played for the Falcons with Vick for three seasons from 2001-03.
What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.

Buchanon is such an odd figure. Known as Mr. Clean and gets the service award or whatever, and caught soliciting the night before the Super Bowl in 98. Now, implicates Vick, and some say himself as well. Very strange.

Agree that anything coming from him is questionable, but at least it is a name, which is opposite of the anonymous people who were saying Vick knew last week.

I agree. Do I think Vick was organizing what was going on? I don't think so, unless he is a lot dumber than I thought. Do I think he knew what was going on? Yes. I would be very shocked if he didn't.

He knew what was going on. Of course he's trying to deny it to save face. Who wouldn't? Can't wait unit VTHokie chimes in on this one.
There are rumblings that he ( Vick) may be suspended.

That was Eugene Robinson
On the night before the Super Bowl, Falcons safety Eugene Robinson was arrested for the solicitation of prostitution. While driving alone in a rented car along a downtown Miami street, he approached a female undercover police officer posing as a prostitute and offered $40 for oral sex. Although he was released from jail and allowed to play the game, he was widely denounced by the press and fans for the incident. Robinson's arrest was especially ironic because on the very morning of the day it happened, he had received the Bart Starr Award for his "high moral character".
He should be. He's no better than any of the others. A guy actually called into a talk show today defending Vick saying that it wasn't a big deal that he was messing around with dog fights. This world has gone to hell.

If they find any evidence that Vick knew about this, I hope they prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. Roger Goodell should then suspend him and make an example of him like PacMan Jones.
Michael Vick may have elevated VT as a football program, but he and his brother have done nothing but drag that university's reputation down since they left.
