DMN piece on Michael Vick alias Ron Mexico

[sago1]

Michael Vick is sure having an interesting offseason in Atlanta and other points east. Given Vick's high profile as starting/star QB in the NFL, Goodell will wait until he's got enough details in hand re dogfighting incident & has talked to the 6 person football advisory council he set up before he acts. Goodell will certainly take action against Bears Tank Johnson & Pacman before doing anything about Vick. I sure wouldn't want to be in Falcons' shoes.

Ron Mexico can't outrun Sheriff Goodell

After reading the fine work of ESPN.com's new stud NFL blogger, I'm putting the over-under on Mike Vick's upcoming suspension at six games.
Tough-on-thugs new commish Roger Goodell won't just be considering the whole dog fighting issue, which keeps getting worse for Vick. That's just the most recent and severe case in a pattern of troubling behavior by the freak athlete who's a terrible passer.
Other incidents:
*Vick got sued by a woman who alleged that he knowingly gave her herpes. The suit was reportedly settled for a significant sum. The lawsuit revealed that he used the alias "Ron Mexico" to get herpes treatment, and there's all kinds of comedic gold about it on ******** that I can't link to because of the PG rating.
*He had a tricky water bottle seized by Miami airport screeners, who got suspicious when the multimillionaire was reluctant to give it up. They found a secret compartment that reeked of reefer. He wasn't charged after Miami authorities declared that no drugs were found.
*A photo that found its way onto the web last summer via a girlfriend's ******* page (wonder if she knows about the lawsuit) indicates that Mr. Mexico is familiar with the process of inhaling marijuana. That sure looks like a blunt (southpaw cigar) in his hand.
*He gave Falcons fans a double-barrelled dirty bird after Atlanta got its butt whupped by the Saints. He got fined 10 grand by the league and matched that in a charity donation.
Reckon the Falcons regret shipping Matt Schaub to the Texans?
Please remember Vick's plight the next time you wanna worry about Tony Romo's romancin'

This thing gets worse for Vick everyday.

Yup. ESPN has been running Vick Exclusive segments last few days and it certainly isn't looking good for Vick.

 

[peplaw06]

While I think the Commish can consider the marijuana issues, I wouldn't think the herpes issue and flipping the fans off are severe enough to warrant a long suspension.

I agree. At the sametime, Vick has set a negative trend, which could only hurt him in the future if he violates NFL policies.

 

[tunahelper]

He is a low life punk!

I think running a dog fighting ring should warrant a lifetime ban!

A man that is cruel to an animal has ZERO morals, ethics and intelligence.

What a role model you have Atlanta!

Celebrate your 10 million dollar scum bag.

He is the prefect example for the South's Capital City!!!!!

Maybe not a long suspension, but a one game suspension (and loss of a one week paycheck) would be justifiable in my book for insulting the fans. In a small way, we supplement their income--so they are, in effect, biting the hand which feeds them.

I did not read a thing about fighting DOGS?

I wish I hadn't.

Excuse me?

Yankees talking trash again. Next, they will want to ban the stars and bars.

He was already fined $10k for flipping off the fans and he gave another 10k to charity as a result of that, so I doubt he gets anymore discipline for that incident.

The dog fighting issue is serious, but unless someone goes on record, putting him there, with proof, I just don't see how he gets suspended. He may get fined for the black eye the league got, but right now there hasn't been any evidence published in news reports that suggests he was definitely there.

The ESPN exclusive with faces and voices blacked out to protect their identity really isn't enuff. Yeah he's getting beat up in the court of public opinion, but I don't see anything solid yet.

Agreed, but should one of those hidden identity witnesses actually testify with proof of Vick's involvement in dog fighting, it'll be another matter entirely.

 

[Signals]

Not even the dogs will miss him when his gone.

Interesting Little thing I was thinking about with Michael Vick.

Vick Donated 10,000 dollars to the Virginia Tech victims.

Vick reportedly spends 30,000 on one dog fight.

The hypocrisy of it all is blinding.

I want to see those people who were defending Vick even donating ANY money, while he was spending 30,000 dollars per dog fight.

I wonder how those victims families could have used 30,000.

 

[Big Dakota]

Oh come on now, we are all just a bunch of hypocites that should be ashamed of ourelves for persecuting this poor man because we all lack values because we all kill animals every day.

why should vick have to give *anything*? did you? how many other former alumni gave?

i've come to really despise vick and wouldn't want to defend him for anything - but a gift if a gift.
