Michael Vick Release and Suspension Rumors

Michael Vick acted as a fine outstanding citizen for less than a year after being reinstated in the NFL.  Apparently Vick needed to raise money and decided that the best way to do so was to sell $50 tickets to his 30th birthday party.  Now he could be facing a possible suspension or unemployment

Michael Vick Release Rumors

The day after the shooting at the Virginia Beach nightclub, media outlets were reporting the Philadelphia Eagles were discussing the possibility of releasing the troubled back-up quarterback. Shortly after those reports the Eagles released a statement that they have not discussed that possibility and are monitoring the situation. If I were Vick, I would be looking over my shoulder. This is the same team that said Donovan McNabb was going to the the starting quarterback this year up until the day they traded him.

Michael Vick Suspension

A commonwealth attorney, Harvey L. Bryant, stated that Vick was involved in an altercation prior to the shooting. Apparently Vick exited his limo, after already being pulled in by friends, and had words with a person. Bryant did not identify the man. It is now known that Vick left about 3-5 minutes prior to the shooting.

Roger Goodell supposedly has a very short leash on Vick. I wonder if its even shorter now.

NFL Commissioner to Review Quaterbacks Actions

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has had his hands full with quarterbacks this off season.  He has already suspended one, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.  But, after actions surrounding Vince Young and Michael Vick, could there be more discipline?

Vince Young Strip Club Fight

I don't know what it is with NFL players and strip clubs. But we always here about the trouble they get into why there. Why can't they just go and enjoy the sights? Instead there seems to be something stupid that starts a fight.

Tennessee Titan quaterback, Vince Young, was the latest player to participate in one of these strip club fights. The thing is that it didn't happen at the bar, but a backroom. Apparently a member of the staff showed an upside-down Hook'em Horns sign to Young, which is also apparently an insult to a Texas graduate. Vince Young once again showed his immaturity and went after the guy swinging. I understand having pride in your university, but throwing blows because of someone throwing a sign is just silly - especially at Young's age and income level. One punch from him equals a law suite!

Roger Goodell said yesterday that he doesn't expect any disciplinary action for Young.

Michael Vick and a Club Shooting

A former co-defendant in Michael Vick's dog fighting case was shot early Friday morning at club in Virginia Beach. Quanis Phillips was shot outside the club Guadalajara. Vick had hosted his 30th Birthday party at the club. According to his attorneys and the police, Vick was not at the club when the shooting took place.

Goodell said he is monitoring the situation and waiting for the full report. Part of the conditions of Vick's probation is that he not to have any contact with people from his dog fighting days. It is yet not known if Vick knew or invited Phillips to the party. It is hard to believe it is coincidence, but how could Vick be so stupid. He has millions of reasons to distance himself from his former mates, not to mention more prison time for breaking conditions of his probation. But then again, if Vick thought in the first place, he would never had been in jail the first time.

Shooting in Club After Michael Vick's Party

Michael Vick held at party at the club Guadalajara in Virginia Beach Thursday night. According to reports, Quanis Phillips was shot just after 2:00 Friday Morning.

Michael Vick's Childhood Friend Shot

Quanis Phillips is a childhood friend of Michael Vick and was sentenced to 21 months for dog fighting. Phillips was caught in the same ring as Vick. According to reports, part of Vick's parole is not to associate with anyone from his dog fighting days. It is unclear whether Phillips was there for Vick's party or if he had any contact with Vick.

Micheal Vick's Involvement

According to one of Vick's attorneys, Larry Woodward, Vick was not involved in the shooting. Vick was celebrating his 30th Birthday with a party. He was also holding a football camp at Hampton University where a reporter asked him about the situation. Vick answered and told the kids in attendance, "Watch what you do. Pick and choose your friends carefully. You just can't put yourself in vulnerable situations."

The local police said that they are not interested in Vick in anyway. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello they are looking into the facts about the shooting.
