Michael Vick planned to lie his way out of dogfighting scandal

Dogfights? What dogfights? Michael Vick got himself into a heap of trouble back in 2007 for masterminding a dogfighting ring. He’s now revealed his plan to get out of it: "I knew how to lie with a straight face,” he writes in his soon-to-be-published book “Finally Free.” “Commissioner Goodell bought into what I was saying, and I think he truly believed me that I was telling the truth. … I knew I was going to try to lie my way through the whole dogfighting case and see if money, good lawyers, and manipulating the system could get me out of the position I was in.” That didn’t quite work out for Vick, but he did get a book deal out of it.
