vick done at vt
Good.
I mean, it’s sad really. Marcus was given all graces but he abused them all and now he’s out. This kid had such a bright future. He can still redeem it, but he won’t do it as a Hokie.
Vick has been a real ninny. Good for VT stepping up and doing the right thing.
UPDATE: Dennis Dodd of CBS Sportsline opines about Marcus and the Vick name.
UPDATE: I’ve been thinking about this more and one thing still concerne me: Marcus was arrested before the bowl game and still played. Did VT bow to media pressure? Why lay low about it until after the game?
[...] Vince Young is incredible. I think this dude could even “out-Vick” Vick (UPDATE: By Vick I mean Michael, not Marcus!). [...]

[...] Rob posted on this earlier today but I have a question, especially after ESPN’s article on the matter. After all his legal troubles, VT says one more time and he’s out. [...]

Rob, according to the VT press release:
“Yesterday afternoon, it came to our attention that Vick was charged in Hampton on December 17 exceeding the speed limit and with driving on a suspended or revoked license. It was not posted by the Hampton Court until January 5…the day before we became aware of it.”

Good catch, Jack. Thanks. That makes me feel better about the admin at VT.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news – but that is a bag of doo-doo. CBS reports that Beamer knew of the ticket on Dec 19th. The article is here.

I prefer the word “dookie” instead.
So according to that article it seems only Beemer knew, not the admin. Sigh. This whole thing is a mess. I see Vick as a mid-round draft pick unless he does really well in the combines.

[...] I used to like him. Then I was shocked at his behavior last year that got him suspended. I gave him grace this year. Then he flipped off the fans at West Virginia during the game on live TV (I saw it). Then he was arrested again for driving on a suspended license. Then he stomped a player during the Gator Bowl. Then he got kicked off the team. Then he declared eligible for the NFL draft. [...]
