SINGING LIKE SONGBIRDS - Vick & Assocs.

This is one tune Mr. Vick will not likely want to hear. As a group these guys were probably pretty tough, or so they thought. Now they have turned into docile li'l songibrds. Singing, and signing up quite a song for Mr. Vick.

Vick had it all, but threw it away to keep the IN THE HOOD attitude going. Well, pretty soon he will be in the hood, only there will be a number stamped on his back

I can't amagine Vick was stupid enough to believe these 3 idiots would take the fall for him, related or not. Of course, I can't believe that ANYBODY making the cash Vick is (er,..WAS..) would be S_T_U_P_I_D enough to throw it all away on chump change involved here! There was a byline in the Atlanta Constitution saying that the Falcons (IF Vick pleads out or is found guilty) are gonna go after his signing bonuses/assured cash, something like 20-30 million. How many ways to say:
MIKE, YOU'RE A F'IN IDIOT!
Can always wrestle or cut some rap cd's.

The NY Times is apparently trying to portray Vick as a victim of those he gathered around him:

Excerpts:

The crooked circle Michael Vick drew around himself has tripped and squeezed him.
The first to fail Vick was Davon Boddie, a cousin and personal chef. His marijuana possession charge in April led police to a white house with black buildings behind it on Moonlight Road in Surry County, Va. [Darn that Davon. If only he hadn't been busted on the pot charge, Vick might have been able to continue -- allegedly -- killing dogs that didn't make the grade.]
The first to flip on Vick was Tony Taylor, a fast friend from Newport News, Va., with an arrest record for drug trafficking and a traffic record for reckless driving.
The latest to betray Vick is Quanis Phillips, a friend since middle school. Along with Purnell Peace, Phillips, who once served jail time on a drug charge, accepted a plea deal on Friday and implicated Vick as the owner and operator of a dogfighting ring. [Does Roberts believe in the law of omerta?]
Group dynamics can collapse under pressure. Vick has been abandoned, left to contemplate a plea deal that could imprison him and ruin his N.F.L. career.

What a fool.

So far Vick has flushed on the order of 200 MILLION $.

VICTIM????? I doubt it. The man knows not to poop in his pants. He should also know not to run with that crowd. Sounds like just plain STUPID to me. The guy never grew up it is as simple as that. The learning curve is straight up now!

This is what the NFL gets for creating idols out of thugs. The system that brought him along had to know about some of his bad traits. The sad part is, there will be a small minority that sees something admirable in this disgusting person. As popular as Mike Jordan was, he had his share of problems too...gambling being one of them. The rumor mill had it that the reason he took a baseball vacation was to punish him for some gambling crap.

I have a little story about Jordan's gambling. I was staying at the Atlantis Resort. Apparently, he used to rent the bridge suite out for months at a time. Someone called and told me that Mike Jordan was in the casino and to come down and see it. He was DOWN 365 Thousand and having a ball. Sure, thats probably chump change for him. But it still seems sick at best.
