It's all about the Benjamin's, don't you know?

You have to remember that Blank invested more than 100 mil on Vick.

This sounds stupid but a contract is a promise that you will perform a service for the person that invests in you.

Vick signed a contract saying that he would play for the Falcons for the time of the contract. There are conditions in that contract that he must abide by.

For example.

You get a contractor to roof your house and pay him a deposit.

Your roof is stripped and he splits without finishing the job.

Football isn't a roofing job, but you do expect a contract to be honored.

Dead president run the world!

Stephen A. Smith, a sports writer who is black, made a comment about how Vick will get screwed because he is being tried in Virginia....

When another commentator asked him is his comments were race based, he said, "Yes."

Then he said he never mentioned race.

------------

If you listen to more than the 'news' you'll see that Vick's dad told him to cool it, then suggested if he was to continue, that he get a property in someone else's name to deflect any blame should his DFing be found out.
Also there are reports that when he was still in college, his goal was to get a place where he could raise and fight dogs.

All this was reported on ESPN radio.
