Michael Vick is lying to us. But pleading "not guilty" to charges of being associated with dog fighting is not his lie. Instead his lie came in the form of a written statement his lawyer read aloud to reporters today. Here's the quote, which I will paste below and bold out the part that is a fib
Today in court, I pleaded innocent to the allegations made against me. I take these charges very seriously and look forward to clearing my name. I respectfully ask you all to hold your judgment until all the facts are shown. Above all, I'm sorry my mom has to go through this most trying time and the pain it has caused my family. I also want to apologize to my Falcon teammates for not being with them today at the beginning of training. There is nowhere I'd rather be today than in camp with my team.
So either Michael Vick has proven himself as a blatant liar, or perhaps he is just a masochist - because no man, unless he enjoys self-torture and masochism, would ever make a comment like Vick made today and be truthful about it. Training camps are hell, and there is something seriously wrong with you if you can't think of a better place to be than in a training camp.

For that 99.9% that have not played football and more importantly are potential jurors, such a statement reads as a good PR that he's a "nice guy" & "a team player". Which being part of that percentage is why I found this post informative.
