Michael Vick hopes there's no game tape

Yahoo! Sports seems to be trying to make themselves into an investigative journalism site; remember their pounding the whole Reggie Bush housing scandal into the ground? Well now they've set their sights on the Vick dog-fighting case.

In an exclusive, they are reporting that Kathy Strouse, Animal Control coordinator for Chesapeake in Virginia, is claiming that a reliable source informs her that there are tapes out there that tie Michael Vick directly to dog-fighting. Now, we hate Vick as much as the next guy but this evidence seems a little suspicious:

We don't know where (the tapes) are or if they do indeed exist, but I have been told that they are out there," said Strouse, who is also affiliated with two other organizations involved in the welfare of animals. "Without knowing where they are, there's no possibility of getting a search warrant at this point.

So based on this statement which says nothing, Yahoo runs a headline "Videos might show Michael Vick watching dog fights." Yeah, that's not irresponsible at all. Oh and there are certain individuals who have identified Vick on the property during matches... but they are reluctant to testify. Well, this certainly seems like a solid case. Great job, Strouse and Yahoo.
