Can you believe this family? At least they know they have a future in comedy if football doesn't work out for them.

"Sometimes your emotions just take over," Michael Vick said during halftime Wednesday night of the Atlanta Hawks' game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. "I know Marcus. He's not the kind of kid that's going to do something like that on purpose. That's just something he's got to live with, and now it's just time to move on."this is my favorite though. "sometimes your emotions take over and you accidentally step on someone"

And if that's all he had ever done wrong in his time at VT, then he probably wouldn't have been sent home. However, the providing of alcohol to minors (and not "college minors" but 14 and 15 year old female minors), alleged statutory rape, flipping the bird to fans at the WV game, posession of marijuana resulting in the suspension of his license, the subsequent arrest for driving with a revoked license and THEN the stomping of a player while he was down...the combination of those things is what earned him a trip home. Kinda hard to say VT overreacted. The kid was nothing but trouble for the school from day 1.

Their rules are subjective to 'what will make the school look better'

Just in case you are wondering whether Michael Vick will ever find his groove in the Falcons' offense, the Pro Bowl quarterback doesn't appear to have an answer, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"I'm a little lost right now," Vick said.
That was just one of a few candid responses Vick gave during a Q&A session with the Journal-Constitution following a recent Pro Bowl practice.
But his thoughts on the team's West Coast offense were among the most revealing.
"My perception of the West Coast thing is starting to change too," Vick said. "We're not doing what I see Seattle doing or San Francisco doing or Green Bay doing. We're not doing those things. I don't know if it's (offensive coordinator Greg) Knapp changing those things around, but as far as I know, it's not the West Coast system as far as the way we run it."
Vick seems to feel that the Falcons simply are not running the offense — which showed signs of improvement last season — correctly.
"We're not dinking and dunking the way it's supposed to be done," Vick said. "It may be hurting me. It may be hurting the offense."
Vick also shared his thoughts on his younger brother Marcus, who is eligible for the NFL draft after Virginia Tech kicked him out of school for various transgressions.
How long would Vick continue to protect his younger brother?
"Forever," Vick said. "My brother is not a bad person. The best thing for Marc now is leaving college, getting away from a bunch of people he was around every day. Now he'll have a chance to play in the NFL and have somebody who can be there with him and can guide him in the right direction."
