I thought my man Mike Vick was smarter than his little bro Marcus, but apparently not. According to an article on SI.com, police in Miami are examining a water bottle that The Great One tried to bring onto a flight out of Miami International Airport. It seems there was a secret compartment built into the water bottle that had been used to store marijuana. The worst punishment McVick could get is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine...don't bet on the jail time.
The latest news continues a troubling slide for The Great One. At Virginia Tech, he was untouchable, but since becoming a star for the Falcons, he's been accused of spreading an STD (and using the alias Ron Mexico), flicked off fans, been labeled a "coach 
killer" and now this. Marcus' rap sheet suddenly doesn't look quite as bad: relations with an underage girl, possession of marijuana, a gun charge and "The Stomp."
killer" and now this. Marcus' rap sheet suddenly doesn't look quite as bad: relations with an underage girl, possession of marijuana, a gun charge and "The Stomp."I never said the Vicks were saints, but it's getting harder to defend them. This is especially true when you consider their unrealized potential. Marcus had many chances at VT before being kicked out of school, and he has yet to do anything in the pros. Mike looked like a sure Hall of Famer in his first couple years, but setting QB rushing records doesn't cut it any more. If he doesn't straighten up, this will be his last year in Atlanta. Perhaps he'll end up like his cousin Aaron Brooks, washed up and playing for the Raiders...a fate worse than jail time.
