No chance the Falcons see $20 million from Mike Vick. How much can he actually have left after paying his agent and taxes? He will file bankruptcy next year.

There is a chance that thisruling could get overturned.

Has Vick set up residence in Florida yet a la OJ?

Some of the loosest bankruptcy laws in the United Sates.

He can't leave the state of Virginia.

1. Prison.
2. Loss of millions in endorsements.
3. Loss of salary, having to return $20 million in bonuses.
4. Being sued for $2.5 million by a bank.
5. Being sued by rental-car company for whatever.

All because he couldn't leave the thug life behind?
Message to future pro sports stars: is keeping it real worth that much? Don't think the homies can help you in these situations.

Charles Barkley has said this over and over. When you are rich, you have to make new friends. The old ones will bring you down and suck you dry.

The first year I made more than $30,000 I left most of the old ones behind.

You're quoting Chuck? I would pick someone else but I understand where you are going.
Vick isn't a thug. He's made stupid decisions but I wouldn't say he's a thug. Far from being one, IMO.

Hey, Chuck is a very wealthy man who translated his money earned playing sports into greater riches. Jordan, Keyshawnn (spell) and Tiki all come to mind as being able to do the same thing. Not many athletes today seem to be able to do this. They just seem to spend it faster than they earn it.

I would slect another athlete besides Chuck about law issues. In fact of the list you gave, Tiki is the cleanest.

I was referring to Vick's eminent bankruptcy.

 

[heyabbott]

He gets to keep the weed, right?

Vick: Oh, Lord.

Good God, man.

Holy ****.

I ain’t never felt like this before. I’ve never felt so powerless. So helpless. It’s like I have no control over my life anymore.

It’s this ****ing WEED, man. I have surrendered to its majesty. Jesus Christ, I am stoned like a Wheat Thin.

(phone rings)

Vick: The ****? Are you really ringing, Mr. Phone? Or is it just my imaginary telekinesis acting up again? **** it. (picks up) Hello?

Lawyer: Michael, it’s your lawyer.

Vick: Oh, hello there, Mr. Perry Mason man. Mr. Can’t-Keep-My-Ass-Outta-Mother****in’-Jail Man. Are you enjoying your life of freedom? I bet you’re sitting on a buttery leather couch right now, you ****in’ ****.

Lawyer: Michael, I have some bad news for you.

Vick: Oh, really? There’s a ******* shocker. Well, why the **** not? Bring it on, ****heel. Let’s see: I already lost my mother****in’ job, my mother****in’ endorsements, my mother****in’ freedom, my mother****in’ bookie (and he was a damn good bookie), my mother****in’ lifetime contract with Cherry Blistex... What else can you possibly add to this ****heap, Mr. Oldass Matlock Man? What new spiked ***** are you gonna ram up my ass?

Lawyer: Michael, I’m trying to help you.

Vick: **** that. I tell ya, at least I still got my money. My precious, precious money. God, I love my money.

Lawyer: Michael…

Vick: Ah, sweet, sweet money. Procurer of weed. Giver of Papa John’s Italian Meats Trio. You can never let me down, money. You don’t judge me. You never look at me funny. (takes out a five dollar bill) Wait a second, Lincoln. You ARE looking at me funny.

Lawyer: Michael…

Vick: Dude, anywhere I go, Abe’s eyes follow me! That’s ****ed up.

Lawyer: Michael, I’m afraid to tell you that the Falcons have won your arbitration hearing.

Vick: You’re seeing an obstetrician? Is that when they punch your **** inside out and make you a lady?

Lawyer: It’s a legal hearing. I’m sorry to tell you that the Falcons have won the right to collect a significant portion of your signing bonus back from you.

Vick: How much?

Lawyer: $19.9 million.

Vick: $19.9 million dollars? So that’s like…

(processing)

Vick: $19.9 million dollars.

(takes several bong hits)

Lawyer: Michael?

Vick: (takes several more bong hits) Hold on. I’m just trying to right the universe.

Lawyer: Michael, we’re appealing.

Vick: The **** is appealing about this?

Lawyer: In the meantime, we’re feeling some serious heat from the banks on this. I need to know where that money is.

Vick: Where it is? Uh, it’s uh… It’s tied up.

Lawyer: Michael, did you spend it all?

Vick: Well what the **** am I supposed to do with $19.9 million, you white asshole?! Save it? That’s like being a virgin with a 12-inch ****! Nobody told me those assholes could take it!

Lawyer: It was in your contract.

Vick: Mother****er, I didn’t read that ****! Did you see how long that thing was? Why the **** you think I hired your monkey ass?

Lawyer: Well, what did you spend the money on?

Vick: What do you think I spent it on? I spent it on DOG FIGHTING.

Lawyer: Just dog fighting?

Vick: Well, and some other short term, uh, investments and ****. Weed doesn’t just grow out in the woods, you know.

Lawyer: Yes, it does.

Vick: Mother****er, I have EXPENSES! Okay? I gotta pay for food, and housing, and clothes, and things that look shiny on QVC at 3 in the morning, and those glass rectangle light boxes with colored liquid in them that tilt back and forth. You ever see one of those, man? It’s like a window right into your soul.

Lawyer: Michael, you have to file for bankruptcy.

Vick: **** you. You know what, asshole? I pay you $300 an hour, and all you ****ing do is call me with bad news. Now, I’m gonna hang this phone up. And I don’t want you calling back until you got something GOOD to tell me. Comprende, ****head?

Lawyer: Michael…

Vick: Goodbye, evil white man. (hangs up) ****. Well, you can’t pay someone back in weed. You can’t even repossess it. **** you, Falcons. (opens up room filled with $19.9 million worth of weed) You want my money, you’re just gonna have to start smokin’. *******.

The Board can put a Man on the Moon, but it can't get a 1,000 Yard white running back. What Up Wit Dat?

Mike Alstott came close.

Rocky Bleier did once.

Rocky Bleier did once.

Did the Steelers have a commemorative patch on the 30th anniversary of that milestone last season?

The first year I made more than $30,000 I left most of the old ones behind.

Kicked your shelter buddies to the curb? That's cold.
