Speaking of alcohol...
I guess he really didn't want to be busted by a cop on a bicycle.Marcus Vick arrested in Virginia for DUI
NORFOLK, Va. (AP)—Former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick was arrested early Friday and charged with driving under the influence and eluding police.
Vick, the brother of former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, signed as a free agent receiver with the Miami Dolphins after a troubled career at Virginia Tech. He was released by the Dolphins in 2007.
Police said a uniformed bicycle patrol officer observed Vick and a female involved in an altercation in a car around 2 a.m. The officer asked if his assistance was needed, then asked Vick for his driver’s license. Police say Vick then sped away, but was stopped minutes later.
Vick, 24, failed a field sobriety test and was charged with DUI, misdemeanor eluding police, reckless driving, driving on the wrong side of the road and driving on a suspended license. The passenger, Delicia Cordon of Miami, Fla., was charged with being drunk in public.
Vick was released from jail at 6 a.m. Friday on $1,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Monday, said Maj. Mike O’Toole of the Norfolk Sheriff’s Office.
Vick was kicked off the Virginia Tech team after repeated brushes with the law and misbehavior on and off the field. In March 2006, following his junior year, Vick’s guilty plea to traffic violations in Hampton brought the end of his college career because Virginia Tech had him under a zero tolerance policy.

Yeah, this has been all over the news here lately, of course.
It amazes me how big a fuck-ups those Vick brothers are.

Oh, I meant to share with you guys...
A good friend of mine just started a web site where he makes custom fantasy football helmet logos for your team, or league;
http://www.yourfantasyfootballhelmet.com/
I don't expect you all to purchase one, I am just spreading the word. The testimonials are quite funny. A lot of the demo logos in the helmet gallery are of our league. This is my big league that I have been with for years, the payout this season will be approximately $900.
And the league I placed second last year.
Like I said, I don't expect you all to buy one, just please check out the site and spread the word if you can.
Thanks!!!

Favre wants release from Packers
Brett Favre asked the Packers to release him so he can return to the NFL with another team after apparently being told his latest retirement reversal wasn't welcome news in Green Bay.
ADVERTISEMENT
The team said it would do "what's right" in response to Favre's request, which was first reported by ESPN.
"Brett earned and exercised the right to retire on his terms," the team's statement said.
"We wanted him to return and welcomed him back on more than one occasion. Brett's press conference and subsequent conversations in the following weeks illustrated his commitment to retirement. The finality of his decision to retire was accepted by the organization. At that point, the Green Bay Packers made the commitment to move forward with our football team."
The 38-year-old Favre retired March 6 after a 17-year career, but almost immediately began dropping hints that he was having second thoughts.
The Packers statement said Favre now has the right to petition NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to be reinstated, at which point he would return to the team's active roster.
But the statement did not specify what the Packers would do after that, beyond doing "what's right and in the best interest of the team."
If the team has committed to moving forward without Favre, their options once he was reinstated would include trading him to another team or releasing him so he would be free to sign with the team of his choice. The Packers already have committed to going with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a first-round pick in 2005 who has been sitting behind Favre for his first three seasons in the NFL.
Releasing Favre presents the possibility that he will sign with NFC North rivals Minnesota or Chicago, where he would be an upgrade over the incumbent QBs. If the Packers traded him, there would be teams outside the division such as Baltimore or Tampa Bay, and perhaps Washington, that would be interested. There also has been speculation he could go to Miami for disgruntled defensive end Jason Taylor, the 2006 defensive player of the year.
It would be an ugly end to what has been one of the most celebrated partnerships in recent NFL history.
"As with all Packers greats, Brett's legacy will always be celebrated by our fans and the organization, regardless of any change in his personal intentions," the statement said. "Brett and Deanna will always be a part of the Packers family."
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Friday that sources close to Favre and the team told him agent James "Bus" Cook asked the Packers for Favre's release in a letter because the Packers were not receptive to the idea of Favre wanting to play again.
We expect to hear comments from Vynsane.com's John Madden shortly.Putting the broad back into broadcasting.
