Like you, my invitation to the
Michael Vick All-White 30th Birthday Bash got lost in the mail. So we can't say for sure who caused all the trouble at last week's event.
One thing is certain. Vick and trouble go waaaaaay back. He causes it, he courts it, he all but asks it to blow out the candles on his birthday cake.
So it's a little hard to keep an open mind about the latest bit of bad newz. You don't have to be a PETA member to assume its possible he ordered the hit on his old partner in crime, Quanis Phillips.
Maybe Phillips crashed the birthday party and smushed a piece of cake in Vick's face. Maybe he showed up wearing a brown hat made out of the coat of a pit bull they used to own. After all, the party was billed as a "Very Classy event with a STRICT dress code."
The reports conflict. But the more we learn, the more it seems Vick has again stepped in a pile of dog poop.
His statements to police apparently don't jibe with what witnesses and the surveillance video say. Another trip to Roger Goodell's office is probably in Vick's future. He'd better get his lies, err, story straight by then.
Share It's been a busy summer for Commissioner Roger Goodell, but he should have seen this one coming. Applying the These Things Happen in Threes Rule, we already had Larry and Curly, aka
Ben Roethlisberger and
Vince Young.
Now the Three Stooges are complete. Moe Vick has left the building, apparently just three minutes before Phillips was shot last Thursday night/Friday morning. We are again faced with a question that stumps these people.
Why can't you learn from your mistakes?
A quarterback is supposed be the smartest player on the field. And to be fair, the vast majority of
NFL quarterbacks have not spent their offseason getting into fights at strip bars and having sex in women's bathrooms.
That's like saying the vast majority of oil wells don't explode. The Three Stooges have caused a public relations disaster all along the NFL coast. Oh, to see them hauled before Congress and given the Tony Hayward treatment:
Mr. Roethlisberger, you were accused of sexual assault in 2009 after allegedly having sex with a hotel employee. Wasn't that enough to keep you from carousing your way into another sex scandal this summer? Or is it impossible for you to cap your gusher of lust?
Mr. Young, you'd almost turned your partying, immature image around. Then you go to the strip bar and get into a fight with a guy who did an upside-down Hook 'Em Horns sign? Are you that big of a Texas fan, or just stupid?
And Mr. Vick, didn't 19 months in prison teach you anything?
Apparently not.
