    And now, Vick denies the story, specifically stating that he was in Florida on Monday night.

    Makes a couple of sites (blogs!!) look pretty silly. Do I smell potential litigation?

    That wouldn't be hard to do. Credit-card receipts or airline records would do it.

    Well then Vick needs to step up.

    Through past actions, he's forfeited the "presumption of innocence."

    First of all, Starman, he doesn't have to prove anything to you or me or anyone other than the Commish.

    Second, "presumption of innocence?" Seriously? What's he guilty of, looking at nekkid ladies and showing questionable judgement? As an earlier poster noted, if every NFL player who did those two things was no longer allowed to play football, nobody would want to watch the product.

    What Vick did to those dogs was sick and reprehensible. Going to a strip club? Umm, not so much.

    Hokie, doing anything that shows questionable judgement at this particular time is a very bad idea for Vick. He isn't just any NFL player now. He is one who is asking for reinstatement. Perhaps he should have shown a little restraint and waited until after his meeting with the commish.

    And Iverson's manager and agent both say that Iverson hasn't seen Vick since the latter got out of PMITA prison ...

    Waldorf: Do you suppose he had to meet the two-drink minimum?
    Both: AH HA HA HA HO HO HO HO!!!

    read the story - an unnamed source tells TBL he saw him at a strip club. TBL phones and talks to the DJ.
    DJ won't give his name, but says Yeah, Michael Vick and Allen Iverson come to listen to my club

    I have no love for Michael Vick, but everyone deserves more credible reporting than that

    that this thread went on for two pages should be considered an embarrassment

    In a contest of who I believe between Vick and TBL, I pick neither. Would not be surprised at all if this wasn't true. And I'm sure TBL will just sweep it under the rug as if they never said it. Not even close to the first time and it won't be the last.
