More trouble for Michael Vick......
Vick in more trouble with NFL
By Jason Cole

Michael Vick's latest brush with the law will result in further trouble for him with the NFL if he resumes his career.
Vick tested positive for marijuana on Sept. 13, according to court records. The test will lead to further restrictions on Vick's ability to travel while he awaits sentencing from the federal government on Dec. 10. Vick and three other defendants pleaded guilty to charges involving dogfighting, killing dogs and gambling at a home he owned in rural Virginia.
The urine test for drugs was administered by government authorities. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wouldn't comment on Vick specifically in terms of the drug program, but indicated the positive test could lead to Vick being in violation of the league's substance abuse policy.
"As you know, violations of the law with banned substances are also considered a violation of the NFL's policy," Aiello said. Vick is currently under indefinite suspension from the NFL.
Also, on Tuesday, Virginia authorities said they planned to charge Vick in relation to the crimes Vick admitted to in the federal case.
"Neither (Tuesday's) news nor (Wednesday's) news impact (the NFL suspension)," Aiello said. "Is what he did a violation of NFL policy yet? We don't know and we aren't going to address it right now."
Violating the NFL substance abuse policy the first time results in counseling and increased testing for players. A second violation results in a fine and further violations lead to suspensions, starting at four games.

Hum... didn't the NFL Ban him.... Why should they care... he's no longer one of them... right now he's just another bum on the street.... Who cares if he pisses his life away doing drugs... He's already messed up, probable gonna do some real time... the NFL needs to shut up and let his cards fall where they may.

Awe man...weed is a gateway drug! I saw it all on Fox News. First you smoke some weed, the next thing you know you're running a multi-state Pit Bull fighting ring! Just wait and see...two months, Michael Vick will be running a multi-state prison cock-fighting ring (no pun intended)

This guy needs a freakin brain transplant. He (or at least his lawyers) knew that the trial proceedings included a drug screen. So, what does he do? Fires one up. Unbelievable.
So now I guess all the "dog fighting shouldn't be a crime" Vick supporters will say that smoking weed sholdn't be a crime. Anybody that stood behind this idiot in any way should be ashamed of themselves. Ridiculous.

Wynona loved her big brown beaver
And she stroked him all the time.
She pricked her finger one day and it
Occurred to her she might have a porcupine
