Vick under investigation

Quote:

According to WFOR, a station in Miami, police in Miami-Dade are investigating Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Michael Vick for possibly carrying drug paraphernalia into the airport.

Vick allegedly had a water bottle with a secret compartment that contained marijuana residue. A TSA official had asked Vick to throw away his water bottle. However, Vick balked at the idea. Eventually, he threw the bottle away. The official dug it out of the trash and found the secret compartment. The bottle was turned over to the Miami-Dade Police Department for investigation.

Where does one buy such a bottle?

This is a shocking development, right up there with the news that Lance Bass is gay.

Mateo 01-17-2007 10:58 PM

A professional athlete smoking pot? I'm shocked, SHOCKED!

I heard he was trying to board the 4:20 flight back to Atlanta. Not too sure if that's true.

stevew 01-17-2007 11:05 PM

Bitch set me up!

stevew 01-17-2007 11:19 PM

dola

QB 4 LYFE!!!!!!!

Swaggs 01-17-2007 11:21 PM

Who knows if this will end up true. But if it does, don't you think it takes a giant set of balls to try to sneak drugs on an airplane?

Am I the only one that when I travel, even though I know I haven't done anything wrong, is terrified that airport security will think that I have done something wrong?

Greyroofoo 01-17-2007 11:22 PM

I feel that way whenever I deal with cops or security types, no matter what the situation.

Deattribution 01-18-2007 01:56 AM

QB + pot = bad. Any other position and I'd shrug it off (not that I support it).

That's all Vick needs - slower reaction times to his WRs who already can't catch the ball.

KWhit 01-18-2007 07:20 AM

I'm so proud to have him be the leader of the team I support.

:rolleyes:

Subby 01-18-2007 07:21 AM

Are you suggesting he is toking up before games?

I don't know much about long-term impact of weed. Are you suggesting that smoking a few joints in the offseason would slow down reaction times when the season comes?

I don't know about it impacting his play, but if weed is important enough to him for him to risk taking it on an airplane, then there's no way he's just doing it in the offseason.

I wonder if he was travelling with Onterrio Smith.

Probably off to recruit Ricky Williams.

albionmoonlight 01-18-2007 08:01 AM

For a year, I coached* basketball at a Boys and Girls Club. I am not sure which of the kids smoked the occasional joint, but you could totally tell who the heavy potheads were. And they really were just a bit behind everyone else in terms of hand/eye coordination.

It says that the bottle contained marijuana residue. Which means that he probably wasn't dumb enough to try and take weed on the plane. Just dumb enough to bring his weed carrier on the plane.

But this is the same guy who picked an alias for his Herpes test that sounds like a bad porn name (and gave the story about him having Herpes WAY more legs than it ever would have had).

He does not strike me as one who really thinks these decisions through to a great extent. ("Hey, I signed a $100 million contract. I can buy a new weed bottle when I land. I should not give the guy shit about making me throw this one away.")

*You can't really call what I did coaching. Almost every kid on the team knew more about basketball than I did. I basically took up space on the sideline as a favor to my friend who ran the (terminally short on volunteers) club. Still, my team made it to the finals of the tournament, due almost entirely to the fact that I had one of those kids on my team who hit his growth spurt a bit earlier than his classmates.

That's probably true.

I wonder how he'll react when he hears about this story.

Ksyrup 01-18-2007 08:21 AM

Given his brother's issues, I refuse to believe that this guy has been that far removed from whatever issues lead to Marcus' difficulties.

I'd imagine he'd have tested positive for it if he was doing it in the season.

Umm ... do we know that he doesn't have one positive test already?
Isn't the first one confidential, and no league action taken until there's a second test?

Ksyrup 01-18-2007 09:19 AM

I wonder if Parcells would have cut his ass like Quincy Carter.

ctmason 01-18-2007 09:35 AM

I have yet to meet someone with cornrows that doesn't enjoy the ganja. And yes that includes you too Beckham!

And regarding Quincy, I met him a couple of times at UGA and he seemed like such a level-headed professional. That said, when the CANADIANS say you've got a "serious marijuana problem," you've got a serious marijuana problem.

I also have to say, the TSA agent had to have a serious hard on for Vick to go dumpster diving for a water bottle.

Greyroofoo 01-18-2007 10:58 AM

Is it dumpster diving if the bottle was above the rim?

I think it was probably one of two things. Either:

1. The TSA agent recognized Vick, Vick was an asshole to the guy, the guy had a hard-on for Vick and was suspicious enough about Vick's behavior to want to bust him;

2. The TSA agent didn't recognize Vick, thought his behavior was suspicious (maybe the bottle contained bomb-making agents, etc.) and was concerned about the public safety

His brothers probly his supplier.

They prbably taught each other how to make bowls out of water bottles when they were kids. What family support...

I still say this is all Frank Beamers fault...:D

albionmoonlight 01-18-2007 11:06 AM

That the bottle went into the trash will make it harder to prove that it was his. How many water bottles were in that trashcan?

Not saying that it will be impossible to prove--but it's not like they took it out of his hand.

lungs 01-18-2007 11:08 AM

It's not that hard to smuggle pot onto a plane. I've never had to do it but know plenty of folks that have and never have gotten caught. As long as you aren't carrying too much you can tape it to your leg near your balls. Just not on your balls as that would be pretty painful to remove.

The best option of course is to have some waiting at your destination. Not smoking pot is not the best option. That defeats the purpose.

But if it needs to be done, it can be done and I'm sure he's done it plenty. I don't see the need for some crazy water bottle though. I doubt the water bottle can hold much more than that which can be securely fastened to your body without detection.

According to CNN, the airport screener asked Vick for the bottle and Vick refused to give it up, so the screener waited for Vick to throw the bottle away and picked it up.

So it turns out that Vick's chronic issue regarding accuracy has more substance than we knew.

Or maybe they know that that "Arioso" isn't a real brand of water (if the link above is the product Vick was using).

Adjacent to refuse is refuse.
