Roddy White may have to discuss Vick’s timeline with NFL
Roddy White is probably wishing he didn't decide to attend Michael Vick's "all-white" linen birthday bash.
BIRDLAND – Falcons Pro Bowl wide receiver Roddy White may have some explaining to do to NFL authorities.
Reports have surfaced that Michael Vick did not leave the party as early as his lawyer previous stated. White, the Falcons two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, also stated that they’d left the party long before the shooting occurred.
Video has surfaced showing that Vick left three minutes before the shooting occurred, which is in direct contradiction of the statements of Vick’s attorney Lawrence Woodward and White.
The NFL has already said that it wanted to investigate the facts of the case and it’s likely that White will have to meet with NFL security to go over his version of the story. (Just a bit of advice for No. 84, tell the truth!)
He’s probably not in any trouble under the personal conduct policy, but maybe he just should have sent Vick a birthday card instead of going to work the youth football camp and attending the birthday bash.
Also, since we are talking about wide receivers this morning, what about the news that San Diego’s Vincent Jackson is on the trading blocks.

Over the last two seasons, the Falcons have signed their starting receivers to long-term contracts.
Last season, White was signed to a six-year, $50 million deal.
During the 2008 season, Michael Jenkins was signed to a four-year, $20 million extension.
So with Jackson on the market according to the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Falcons
probably can’t afford to get in the mix and add another high-priced receiver.
What do you all think, should Roddy shoot NFL security straight? Should the Falcons get creative and figure out a way to go after Jackson? It looks like Seattle and Washington are the early favorites for the Pro Bowler’s services.

The guy shot was the guy who testified against Vick – did Vick invite him? If so, why? To set up the shooting? Most of you GA folks, with your baptist distortion of alcohol, don’t realize that the northeast does not give a crap if you drink. thus, most restaurants have bars in them, and most don’t have any kids – just adults. The nexus in this whole incident is Vick – who we know is an unrepentent liar. When it all comes out, I will be surprised if Vick is still employed by the Eagles. I rooted for Vick – fool me once, but to continue to fool yourself? Vick is about as ghetto as you can get, and for whatever reason, he could just never get that ghetto out of himself. Really a shame.

duh. the top special ed student shows up three days later and still can’t figure out what happened.
I guess you are really keeping it real slow
Let’s get you up to speed sparky, paddy, whatever you liked to be called.
The guy shot was the guy who testified against Vick
– yes sparky we know that. “Q” Quannis Phillips Mike’s co-defendant got shot. It was front page on ESPN for the last four days. Pay attention for once in your life GD.
did Vick invite him?
– Why da eff would he do that for? That would be a direct violation of his probation. He is not supposed to associate with felons especially Q.
If so, why?
– You know just becasue you have a thought doesn’t mean you have to express it. See previous response.
To set up the shooting?
– Oh lord this clown done lost his mind. Why would Mike want to shoot Q after serving 21 months of time and getting his life back on track again?
Oh snap he misses the prison parties he wants to go back. Mike loved being in Levenwearth so much he announced and publicized a party so that he could invite Quannis and kill him.
Paddy keep hope alive cause you sure need it buddy.

To the Vick apologists–The issue now is not dog fighting.
It is not about the “haters”.
The issue is whether Vick has violated the terms of his parole.
Is he squandering his “second chance”?
Has he learned anything from his experience?
Roddy–tell the truth and stay away from Vick socially.

Vick is a tragic figure.
He needs to lay low.
I think he needs serious therapy.
He is eat up with the fame game.
He needs to lay low and humble himself.
Stay away from parties.
Let football be his life and his recreation.
I’m beginning to think football is just the tool that feeds his fame addiction.
Get therapy Mike.

Hey D-What is your opinion of Vick. I ask you because you are a black man and I really would like to know your opinion. Unfortunately everything in Atlanta goes into this black/white thing. It was like this when I grew up there back in the 80’s. Everything seems to go into the black/white divide. I am latino so i see it from a totally different spectrum.

@J- How is asking D-Led a question about his opinion of Vick a bad thing? I think D-Led is intelligent enough to render an opinion that would not get him in any deep trouble. So Child please yourself. Anyone and I mean absolutely anyone that reads these blogs, especially thos blogs revolving around Vick, would make the observation that opinions fall along racial lines.

I’d be willing to bet the cops are scouring businesses for cameras in the area Phillips was shot to see if there is any footage of the shooter or vehicle. God help MV (and Roddy) if they are in the footage. Roddy…say it ain’t so and get away from Vick as fast as you can.

I’m sure White is eating up all of the personal attention on this issue. That’s all he ever does…on or off the field. He’s nothing but a SHOWBOAT.

Tony Dungy says Vick used bad judgment
Posted by Mike Florio on July 1, 2010 4:37 PM ET
Former Buccaneers and Colts coach Tony Dungy, who had an active role in Mike Vick’s return to the NFL last year, has chimed in on the latest controversy involving Vick.
“The only thing he is guilty of is using bad judgment and attending and publicizing parties open to the public and utilizing his name to get people there,” Dungy told the Associated Press, via USA Today. “Hopefully he learns from this.”

Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback Michael Vick says he was not involved with a shooting following his birthday celebration in Virginia Beach last week.
“I want to assure everyone that I had nothing to do with that incident,” he said in the statement provided to The Associated Press by his representatives Thursday night. “I left the restaurant prior to it occurring and did not witness what happened.”
Vick said he reported the incident to the Eagles and “to representatives of Commissioner Roger Goodell.”
The former Atlanta Falcons star also said he has been “completely truthful and fully cooperative” with law enforcement and the NFL, and will continue to cooperate as the investigation continues.

I love the Vickster but at some point it is not called “hating”. If you went out and made STUPID decision after STUPID decision that constantly kept you on the wrong radar what do you expect the result to be? After a while being a DUMMY and hanging with more DUMMIES has to get old too. He has not quite learned that lesson 100% which means in some form or fashion he is doomed to repeat himself.
