Marcus Vick . . . Proving Me Right

Maybe you can blame jealousy, with me having no athletic ability whatsoever, for a guy like me being hard on a guy like Marcus Vick. He has the luxury of following in his big brother Mike's footsteps at Virginia Tech, and little brother might even be a tad better.

He gets second and third chances most people don't. That's the way things go with star athletes. Not fair, but such is life sometimes.

But Vick, who already had enough problems with the law to get him kicked off the team after viciously stomping an opposing playing in a bowl game on national TV, and just days from putting his name in for the NFL draft because he had no where let to go (other that just sleeping on Mike Vick's couch), we arrested for pulling a gun on some teenagers in the parking lot of a McDonald's.

Its about not being a hater, but being real. And Marcus Vick is being real stupid.
