Well, Michael Vick's in trouble again.
The Falcons suspended quarterback got nailed in a drug test for marijuana, meaning further restrictions will be placed on him as he awaits sentencing on dog-fighting charges. We thought we'd heard the last of Vick until at least Dec. 10, when a judge will hand down the sentence. But no.
Yesterday, Vick was indicted by a Surry (Va.) County grand jury on charges related to his dog-fighting operation, and he faces additional jail time as a result.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has suspended Vick indefinitely, but Goodell might not have to lift a finger in being more specific about the suspension. Vick might simply never make it back from all the trouble he's in.

Bob, Don't disappoint me. I know you see the real story here. The first time Vick takes a non-NFL administered drug test he tests positive for pot. I seem to remember him being stopped in the Miami airport once with a water bottle with a secret compartment. Some how the water bottle tested negative for Dope.
When is the NFL going to get serious about this stuff? Goodell needs to be proactive and not just reactive to his players conduct.
Maybe he can join Ricky Williams in the CFL after his prison term.
Why is it that sometimes you put a bunch of money in someone's pocket and they find it impossible to enjoy the endless opportunities to do things that are exciting, fulfilling, and LEGAL. Vick. Landis. OJ. Bonds. Mercury Morris. Tank Johnson. Pacman Jones. Celebrities - not limited to sports stars - so often give us examples of how not to live our lives. These guys are not becoming role models as we always hope. They are selfish and greedy. We should start with the assumption that celebrities, sports stars or not, are or will become losers, cheaters and pariahs. Train wrecks waiting to happen. Sigh.
