Vick's co-defendent shot @ Vick's Bday party

Interesting news story for late June anyway. Can't provide link because 1st gen iPhone fails. Vicks lawyer saying he wasn't present but the guy that got shot turned out to be one of the guys that rolled over on MV, and he got into a confrontation with MV inside the club. If Vick was even in the vicinity, will this be the last straw that gets him kicked out of the league?

A shooting took place outside the nightclub at which Michael Vick celebrated his birthday Friday morning.

Vick doesn't appear to have been involved in or present for the shooting, so this shouldn't be a big deal for him. The shooting victim suffered non-life threatening injuries after the incident, which occurred at 2AM Friday. The shooter was described as a "black man in a white Cadillac Escalade."

That a way to narrow it down AP.

Thanks for providing that. My phone sucks. So Vick celebrated his birthday, left before the club closed, and a guy that snitched him out to do federal time got shot? I bet there's more to the story than, "Vick wasn't present, no big deal". Just a hunch.

He pointed out the snitch and they waited til he left to do the job.....

Ding ding ding. The thing I read said that he got into a confrontation with Vick in the club. Vick was probably like, what are you doing here snitch? Vick left and guy gets shot. I'd be willing to bet a $3 McDonalds mini meal that the shooter knows Vick and this story blows up.

The dogfighting thing started as a little blurb in the news too...

So he invited the snitch to his party or coincidence?

Eh, I'm no Vick fan but let's wait until all of the details come out before we presume Vick was involved.

I don't know why you guys think it'd be uncommon for these sorts of people to get into other sorts of trouble. It's not like they lead completely pure lives, aside from all of that dog-fighting stuff that they just did every now and then to get away from the rat race.

It's not that simple.

He's legally not suppposed to be in the presence of Quannis Phillips (the shooting victim). The simple fact that he was there is going to draw the attention of the league, the team and the government.

Maybe he didn't know? Maybe that's why he left, and why someone else shot him (possibly even without Vick's order).

As I said, I'm no Vick fan at all. I just think we need to wait a bit until we assume Vick had something to do with this.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
