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.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
