He is an idiot. Obviously he just doesn't get what an incredible gift he has been given.

Police have not identified the shooting victim, but Vick?s attorney, Larry Woodward, says it was Quanis Phillips, a co-defendant in the dogfighting case that sent Vick to federal prison.
Well that sure is an odd coincidence if Vick is not involved.
I thought he was told not be be caught with any of these type people again.
I think the league is going to boot him.

Vick leaves minutes before the shooting.
Phillips is shot by someone wearing a white shirt
( all party members wore the white ) and driving a cadilac Escalade.
Hmmmm

Vick is dumb enough not to be directly involved but to have known that it was going down.
I think that is conspiracy.
Whatever it is, I have no sympathy. If he is not smart enough to stop hanging with the same dumbasses then he desrves everything coming to him.
If it is true, I hope it is some type of parole violation and he gets some serious punishment.
If he was in the car that did the shooting then he is probably prison bound.
On parole and the guy shot is someone who rolled over on him.
Sheesh. I hate putting the cart before the horse but this dumbass makes it easy to do.

Michael Vick Not Ruled Out as Suspect in Shooting Case2

The investigation into last week's Virginia Beach shooting near a birthday party for Michael Vick may still lead police to the guest of honor.
Police say Vick, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, has not been ruled out as a suspect or person of interest in a nightclub shooting that landed one of the co-defendant's in Vick's dog-fighting case in the hospital as the party was breaking up.
"I don't want to say either way as to what [Vick's] involvement is," police spokesman Adam Bernstein told The Associated Press Thursday. "Everyone wants me to give him a label because of who he is."
One of the conditions of Vick's probation is to avoid the company of other felons. Though the name of the shooting victim has not been released by police, Vick's attorney, Larry Woodward, has stated the victim was Quanis Phillips, who served a 21-month prison sentence for his part in Vick's dog-fighting case. Woodward said earlier this week that Phillips was not invited to the party, and that Phillips and Vick did not interact. :scared :0corn
Whitley: Vick, Roethlisberger, Young: The New Three Stooges
Woodward has stated that Vick left the party anywhere from 10-20 minutes before the shooting, but Allen Fabijan, a spokesman for the Guadalajara Mexican, said Wednesday that Vick left minutes before the shots were fired. Fabijan said there is time-stamped video of Vick leaving the restaurant/bar at 2:07 a.m. The first 911 call to police reported the shooting came at 2:11 a.m. and occurred a block away from the bar ? in the same direction Vick was headed.
Vick was interviewed by police Monday. Calls from the AP to Woodward's office Thursday were not returned.
Both NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the Eagles are keeping a close watch on the developments. Goodell made it clear last year that Vick, the former Pro Bowler with Atlanta, had little margin for error when it came to being a repeat offender of the league's code of conduct policy. Vick was suspended for the '07 season and spent the '08 season in a federal prison as part of his 20-month sentence after pleading guilty in his high-profile dog-fighting case. Goodell originally suspended him for the first four games of '09, but reduced the ruling to two games.
Share8 In another development, former Indianapolis and Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy, who has served as a mentor to Vick through his reinstatement to the league, told the AP that Vick did nothing wrong last week besides making a poor decision.
"The only thing he is guilty of is using bad judgment and attending and publicizing parties open to the public and utilizing his name to get people there," Dungy said. "Hopefully, he learns from this.
.............................................................
Hey Dungy if you sleep with dogs you get the fleas
So Vick did not invite Phillips to the party. The guy had alot of kahones to show up .
Once Vicks posse see's Phillips that is a direct slap in the respect face.

Embracing Vick sets everybody back

Let?s keep it real. Michael Vick is not the first man to pull out after three minutes and call it 30 under oath.
Too much is being made of Vick?s conflicting, nightclub-exit timeline.
Depending on traffic, Vick might be telling the truth. He and his entourage could?ve been ?long gone? when a bullet dropped Quanis Phillips outside the restaurant that hosted Vick?s 30th birthday party.
Vick and his lawyer told police and the media that the Philadelphia quarterback left the scene 10 to 30 minutes before Phillips, a co-defendant in Vick?s dogfighting case, was shot. According to the restaurant owner, video surveillance proves Vick and his crew departed just a few short minutes before bullets were fired from the same direction as Vick?s exiting entourage. :scared
So what? Do we run the QB formerly known as Ron Mexico out of professional football because three minutes felt like 30?
I say no.
NFL commissioner/top cop Roger Goodell should not bail out the Philadelphia Eagles by taking action against the Avon Barksdale of football. The more appropriate punishment would be to leave Vick?s cancerous carcass inside the Philly locker room, a fitting payback for the way the organization treated classy QB Donovan McNabb.
Look, I tried to get on board with the Vick reclamation project. I?m sympathetic to the plight of ex-cons. Re-entry into mainstream society can be very difficult for a parolee. I was proud that Andy Reid and McNabb took on the challenge of trying to rehabilitate Vick.
Things have not worked out. The Eagles kicked my favorite active QB (McNabb) to the curb. And Vick has shown no legitimate commitment to developing as an NFL quarterback. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning don?t have reality TV shows. They also don?t throw ?white linen? birthday parties at local nightclubs.
Vick craves street cred more than quarterback credibility. That?s always been his problem.
Remember when Avon Barksdale got sprung from prison in Season 3 of "The Wire"? Stringer Bell (McNabb) had everything laid out for Avon ? a plush condo overlooking the harbor, legitimate businesses and a Salt-n-Pepa welcome-home team compliments of Tony Soprano?s Bada Bing.
But that wasn?t enough for Avon. He just had to hear his name ring out on those Baltimore corners. Avon had to take his corners back from Marlo Stanfield. Dumbass.
Vick still wants to be king of the 'hood. He wants his name to ring out in Newport News. Dumbass.
And all of his defenders/enablers are just as stupid.
What?s always bothered me about Vick is that he?s far more beloved in the black community than McNabb. It?s mind-boggling to me.
No QB in the history of the league has done more damage to the reputation of and the opportunities afforded to black quarterbacks than Michael Vick. And I say that knowing full well that as you read this, JaMarcus Russell is likely somewhere scarfing down hot wings at an all-you-can-eat buffet while wearing $2 million in designer jewelry.
Vick is a nightmare. When he wasn?t setting fire to his groupie conquests as Ron Mexico, he was bunkered in his estate smoking kush and mastering Xbox Madden football. In his spare time, he trained dogs to maim and fight. He hoodwinked Arthur Blank into a $100-million payday and then went to jail.
And we wonder why NFL management (Jeff Ireland) chooses to ignore common decency and bombard young black kids (Dez Bryant) with insulting pre-draft questions.
They?re afraid of getting in bed with the next Michael Vick. But he?s a hero, a ghetto icon.
And McNabb is a sellout or soft. McNabb is constantly blasted by media idiots who think he needs to engage Terrell Owens, DeSean Jackson or some other diva receiver in verbal warfare. The idiots believe an emotional tantrum would be a show of ?leadership? by McNabb. Dumbasses.
McNabb?s close relationship/partnership with Andy Reid was leadership. The partnership McNabb builds with Mike Shanahan in Washington is the kind of leadership that will create opportunities for other black QBs.
McNabb has spent more than a decade in the league focused on doing the things necessary to become a Super Bowl-winning quarterback. He?s never been properly appreciated by the people his conduct directly benefits. The NAACP in Philadelphia criticized McNabb for transitioning into a dropback passer.
Philly deserves Michael Vick. The city had one of the league?s best for 11 years and never demanded that Eagles management consistently support him with top-flight personnel.
And maybe we (black folks) deserve Vick, too. We shower him with undying loyalty even though his actions undermine our progress.

A former dogfighting pal of Michael Vick was shot moments after crashing the NFL quarterback?s birthday bash and angrily flinging cake in his face, witnesses told The Post yesterday. Quanis Phillips, a co-defendant in Vick?s dogfighting case, flew into a rage when Vick and brother Marcus Vick told him early Friday to leave the 30th-birthday party at a Virginia Beach nightclub, witnesses said.
Vick is barred from associating with Phillips under his parole agreement. Phillips? brother was at the bash, too, and seemed to be an invited guest, mingling easily with other partygoers. But once Vick and his brother spotted Quanis Phillips, they told him to get lost, witnesses said.
Before leaving, Phillips slapped a piece of birthday cake off a female partygoer?s plate, splattering the face of the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback with frosting. ?Michael didn?t react. I was surprised,? a witness at the bash said. ?But Marcus was the one who reacted. He had this I-can?t-believe-this-just-happened, we?ve-been-disrespected look on his face. He was very agitated.? Phillips left the party screaming and continued hurling obscenities from the parking lot of the Guadalajara nightclub, witnesses said.
?Phillips was still yelling, even outside, then five minutes later, a shot rang out in the parking lot,? a witness outside the club said. A Virginia Beach police spokesman said last night that the probe into the shooting was continuing and that no one had been arrested. Phillips, who was sentenced to 21 months in prison for his role in Vick?s infamous Bad News Kennels dogfighting operation, was treated at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital before being released.

Whitlock's column is provocative as usual. Love him, hate him - he writes a damn good column.
The craziest thing about the whole debacle is that Tony Dungy, a guy I always respected, has already found Vick innocent and only guilty of bad judgment? I think Dungy has lost it.
