It's a shame he is messing around with his talent. He should just go pro and forget about it. College is too much for him. He should go be the backup for the Falcons.

Big suprise for he will go pro.

"It's not a big deal. I'll just move on to the next level, baby"

What a bum. Obvioulsly has no remorse for anything he has done.

A real class act as the following shows:

Marcus Vick Timeline

Sept. 2, 2003: Suspended for one game by coach Frank Beamer for undisclosed reason.

Feb. 17, 2004: Arrested without incident and charged with four misdemeanors -- three for allegedly allowing underage girls to have alcohol and one for allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old at a January party. Released on $2,500 bond.

May 14, 2004: Convicted of three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $2,250. Found not guilty of having sex with the 15-year-old.

July 3, 2004: Charged with reckless driving and possession of marijuana after a traffic stop about 25 miles east of Richmond, Va. at 2:30 a.m. Police said he was clocked at 86 mph, 21 mph above the speed limit, and that the vehicle smelled of marijuana.

July 6, 2004: Indefinitely suspended from football team for off-field problems.

Aug. 3, 2004: Suspended from the university for the 2004 season on same day he pleads guilty to reckless driving and no contest to marijuana possession in New Kent, Va. Is fined $300, has driver's license suspended for 60 days and is placed in a first offender program on the marijuana charge, requiring that he perform 24 hours of community service, undergo drug counseling and random drug tests, and give up his driver's license for six months.

Sept. 13, 2004: In plea deal, pleads no contest to one misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Receives 30-day suspended jail sentence, is fined $100, ordered to perform 24 hours of community service and stay away from the teenage girls.

Jan. 17, 2005: Cleared to rejoin football team and re-enroll at Virginia Tech.

Oct. 1, 2005: Leads No. 3 Hokies to 34-20 victory at West Virginia, and makes obscene gesture to fans who have been calling him names related to past problems throughout the game. He apologized a day later.

(I would add here, most of us and many WVU fans would say he elbowed or shoved a WVU coach on the sidelines.)

Dec. 17, 2005: Pulled over by police in Hampton, Va. for driving 38 mph in a 25 mph zone and driving with a suspended license.

Jan. 2, 2006: Leads Virginia Tech to a 35-24 win over Louisville in Gator Bowl. In the game, he stomped on the left calf of Cardinals All-American defensive end Elvis Dumervil, the NCAA sacks leader. Claims the incident was accidental and that he apologized to Dumervil, who denies ever receiving apology.

Jan 6, 2006: Is kicked off team at Virginia Tech for legal trouble and unsportsmanlike conduct in Gator Bowl.

Nice that Beamer and Tech allow him to play in the Bowl game after he is pulled over. I guess that "Zero Tolerance" policy placed on him by the Tech Athletic Department really carried weight...

I can't believe they let him be a part of any team. The guy is practically a millionaire out there acting like some kind of gang banger. I hope the NFL gets some brass and uniformly bans him so he can blame the NFL for his future transgressions. BUT THEY WON'T HAVE THE GUTS!
