Vick at it again....

Post by Gunner18 »

from espn.com

[quote]RICHMOND, Va. -- Former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick, booted from the team last week for his behavior on and off the field, was charged Monday with pulling a gun on three teenagers during an altercation in a restaurant parking lot.




Vick surrendered at the Suffolk magistrate's office after three warrants were issued for his arrest Sunday, Magistrate Lisa Noel said.


The 21-year-old Vick was charged with three misdemeanor counts of brandishing a firearm, and was released on $10,000 bond.


Police said the parents of a 17-year-old boy reported that Vick pointed a weapon at their son and two others during an altercation at a McDonald's in Suffolk, a southeastern Virginia city where Vick's mother lives, Sunday night.


If convicted of all three counts, Vick could be sentenced to up to three years in jail and a $7,500 fine, police spokeswoman Lt. Debbie George said in a statement.


On Friday, Virginia Tech kicked Vick off the team, citing the cumulative effects of numerous legal problems and his unsportsmanlike conduct in the Gator Bowl, where he was caught on tape stomping on the left calf of Louisville All-American Elvis Dumervil.


He also received a speeding ticket and a ticket for driving on a suspended license in Hampton on Dec. 17 while under a "zero tolerance" policy from Virginia Tech.


The policy was implemented when Vick was suspended in 2004 because of several legal problems. He later came under further scrutiny because of replays of his actions against Dumervil.


Vick claimed it was accidental, but hurt his cause by claiming to have apologized to Dumervil, the NCAA sacks leader. Dumervil said he received no such apology.


Saturday, Vick announced he had decided to turn pro.


A Virginia Tech spokesman said university officials would have no comment on Vick's arrest.


"At this point, I think the actions speak for themselves," the spokesman, Larry Hincker, said.


Vick is the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. He was the runner-up to Wake Forest's Chris Barclay, by one vote, as the Atlantic Coast Conference's offensive player of the year, and was the league's first-team quarterback.


In 24 career games, the 6-foot, 212-pound Vick threw for 2,868 yards, 19 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He also ran 184 times for 492 yards and six TDs. [/quote]


how many chances is this guy gonna get? and i bet his momma is still gonna complain that he has yet to have an opportunity to prove himself as a decent person. this dude is worse than TO, owens is just a prick, this guys an outlaw and a *insert bad word here* person.

So Vick pulled a gun on someone? As Paterno said when one of his players got caught drunk driving, "Hey. No one got hurt".

I think he'll be heading to the Falcons. They could try to make him a WR or at least try to help him turn his life around. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the Falcons draft him.

This is the whole failure of athletes like him. A poster child for NWA. We can all name those like him. Iverson, T.O., Sprewell, Tyson. In this kid's case, I'd bet his whole life he's had to follow in big bro's shoes and FAILED. I feel sorry for Michael to have a trouble-making little brother dragging him and his whole family's name down. I speak from experience. Maybe he can get on the same team as Maurice Clarett and some others? KILTMAN has lots of experience with the like.

I figure the kids asked him if he was getting an application and that set him off.

I don't know how a team could take a chance on him. He got kicked off his team and then pulls a stunt like this. The man has no morals and should be taken off the street.

It's the same reason one of the 32 NFL teams will take a risk on T.O. next year. He has the pure athletic ability to be a game breaker. People have done worse and been let free, let's not jump off the bridge about him yet. Maybe him getting off a college campus will be the best thing for him. Have a schedule or routine set out for him where if he doesn't attend it, he won't get his nice nice nice pay check. In the NFL, football is your life for 6 months of the year. He'll have one more chance at his life, if he blows that, look for his name on ESPN as being arrested in some gang shooting or something of the sort.
