RICHMOND, Va. - After pleading guilty Monday to federal dogfighting charges, a contrite Michael Vick spoke to the media. "I used bad judgment, made bad decisions and am a bad motherf***er. I now know that getting caught for dogfighting is a terrible thing, and I do regret that aspect of it."
U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson accepted the plea by the Atlanta Falcons quarterback, then asked: "Are you entering the plea of guilty to a conspiracy charge because you are in fact guilty? Are you aware that this plea will most likely result in prison time? Do you know what the term 'doggy-style' means?" Vick replied, "Yes, sir," to each of the questions. Asked by Judge Hudson if he had any questions, Vick inquired, "Is cockfighting illegal?"
