Michael Vick is now the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. He’s back in the news and getting attention.

What are the chances he screws it all up with an off the field issue? I don’t think he’s start another dogfighting ring, but he also had issues with marijuana use. The birthday party incident showed me he hasn’t learned a thing and I suspect I’ll turn on ESPN and hear him being discussed in some sort of legal trouble.

Reporters will continue to dog him. They are on his trail and are following the scent. He will not get away with much. I don’t know if he has the same entourage he did before. If he does he will be in some kind of trouble again.

Very high. Its in his nature. How he was brought up. At least that was his excuse when he was busted to begin with.

100%. He was too arrogant to slide and probably broke some ribs.

Yes, they will hound him. They can’t wait to sink thier teeth into him. It’ll be rough, rough for him to even bury a few bones without them trying to get their paws on the bitch. He’ll whine about “being in the doghouse” but would be better off playing dead. He might even beg, but I don’t see him rolling over any time soon.

Should I go on?

I know enough about him (i.e., that he’s a POS), so I’d say the chances are very high, and then all these moron commentators that are canonizing him and rooting for him now will eat a ton of crow.
