Stating the Obvious

Sometimes pro football teams spend millions of dollars and all of their options drafting a player that for one reason or another just doesn't work out. Sometimes the player is unprepared for how fast everyone in the NFL moves, sometimes they are unable to adapt to how large the defensive or offensive line are in the pros. The worst kind of "mistake draft" is a player that is just plain trouble.

A lot of the time it is hard to determine just who will or will not be a "trouble" player. The asshole to my left, former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick has saved everyone the trouble of finding out the "hard way" that he is one of those "trouble" players.

Let's see, so far in the past week or so, Marcus has 1) stomped on the left calf of Louisville All-American Elvis Dumervil on camera during the Gator Bowl, 2) attempted to soften the blow by claiming that he apologized to Dumervil when he had not, 3) gotten kicked off the Virginia Tech team for his outlandish behavior, 4) been arrested for allegedly pulling a gun on three teenagers during an altercation in a McDonald's parking lot (he faces up to three years in jail), 5) exhibited the poor taste to actually eat at McDonald's, and 6) announced that he is going pro!

Yep, this "fine piece of work," this "team meltdown waiting to happen," this "waste of money and draft choices" is ready for his closeup Mr. DeMille. I can think of a lot of NFL teams that need help at the quarterback position; I can't think of one that can prosper by drafting this asshole.
