broncosn05 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2738494 If this is formally confirmed it would be huge. This would've been a major hit to the things he's done with the community. As Jamie Dukes said this morning it would have made all the work with the kids of the community to "go up in smoke." There's been bigger personal issues that players have overcame, Ravens, and while all the suspicion isn't erased it's very good to see. We also know that Vick isn't ignorant enough to take one illegal and put it in another illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The question remains - why would he be carrying a water bottle with a hidden compartment that had nothing (allegedly) in it? Saturday night live did a funny bit on this last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because EVERYBODY has water bottles with hidden compartments with strange substances in it they are only Josh Gordon-like in their appearance and smell. And it's also common for a guy to have a Whizzanator in his bag with no reason other than sometimes he likes to pretend he's takign a leak, but he's really not. Certainly not so he can fake a piss test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday night live did a funny bit on this last night. Agreed. Saw it, really, I taped it, really. No really. Just happy, after hearing all the crap all this week that they might start Schaub, that the entire thing was untrue. NFL analysts humor me a lot.

kpholmes Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Vick is a tool. Whether there was pot in the bottle or not, this is a blow to his character and the Falcons organization. Regardless if he comes off clean or not, everyone will still know that he intended to put something he wasn't supposed to have in there. Trade his ass, put in Schaub.

Cowboyz1 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Being he is Italian, Vick being short for Vittore, he used the compartment to transport parsley, very strong parsley, as he is not comfortable using watered down spices on the road in his special meat sauce. I happen to know that this special parsley is his secret ingredient so I could see why he would have a special compartment in his water bottle to conceal it from his teammates. At least he was smart enough to move it to a special hiding spot, because three forths filled water bottles stand out like a sore thumb.

Apathy Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The question remains - why would he be carrying a water bottle with a hidden compartment that had nothing (allegedly) in it? Saturday night live did a funny bit on this last night. I think the other questions include: (1) What was all the uproar as far as the meeting that took place w/ Vick, McKay, and Petrino (and may be Blank...not sure if he was there or not), followed by the press conference admonishing Vick? Was all that over an Aquafina bottle with a secret compartment? (2) Why haven't we heard anything from Vick? If you're innocent, don't you speak up? (3) What happened to it taking several weeks to process the contents of the bottle? Have the Miami police already done this? Regardless, Vick makes one bad decision after another on and off the field, and Matt Schaub hasn't done anything yet to prove he is starter quality. Tough spot for the Falcons.

Cunning Runt Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 This whole thing is weird. You're not suposed to be able to take anything more than 3oz through security and even it's gotta be in a ziploc baggie. Maybe I'm a cynic, but I do think the authroities think they either can not get a conviction, or honestly, maybe a little "goodwill" was shown towards the police if ya get my drift. I think he did it though. Not that I care mind you, one of those bottles would have come in handy for me many. many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpin Johnies Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 A guy from my high school football team played at Tech with Mike Vick. They were roomates and are still good friends. Vick bought him a used Range Rover 2 or 3 years ago. I remember this guy telling me a few years back that Vick smoked Josh Gordon all the time at Tech. He also told me that Vick had slept with just about every girl in Blacksburg which would explain the herpes thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 If this thread and the new updated revised version of the story are supposed to exonerate Vick, then I think someone needs himself a new publicist, because IMHO he is just as much of a tool today as he was this last weekend.

I believe Terrell Owens' former publicist is looking for work. And we all saw how much good she did for his image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, Vick makes one bad decision after another on and off the field, and Matt Schaub hasn't done anything yet to prove he is starter quality. Tough spot for the Falcons. 1. I'm not sure either. That's the most awkward thing. This was a hit to the face of the franchise EVEN if he is exonerated. Kind of like the Ron Mexico controversy. 2. Vick IMO did the best thing possible. By ignoring this he took the high road. This story was sketchy from the very beginning. 3. With 100 millions dollars Vick probably has invented his own smoke, which would explain why nothing illegal was found. And for the last paragraph, I completely disagree with "Regardless, Vick makes one bad decision after another on and off the field."

The real tragedy is that that smoking a Josh Gordon can ruin your career, but if you go to the team doc and get vicodins and percocets nobody cares. What hypocracy.

rattsass Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 There is a possibility here that what Vick was carrying was "fake Josh Gordon". Apparently, there are companies that sell a product that looks like Josh Gordon, smells like Josh Gordon, and I would assume smokes like Josh Gordon, yet has no THC and no psychadelic properties. This is a legal substance, sold mail order. If that indeed is the case here, it might clear Vick to a degree as far as public perception. But one would have to ask why is Vick carrying fake Josh Gordon? Bizarre any way you slice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
