I guess we were wrong..........this time!!

If you don't do stupid stuff all the time, then people aren't so quick to judge you. When you have a pattern of stupid, that's what people come to expect from you. Therefore, when something happens people automatically think the worst!!!!!

Re: We were too quick to judge Vick....

Is it just me or does that article make no sense?

It starts out saying Vick "was not carrying marijuana or another illegal substance at the Miami airport and will be exonerated," then it says.....

"Miami police had said it could take weeks to decide whether charges would be filed against Vick, a three-time Pro-Bowler. As of Monday, investigators were awaiting results of a crime lab analysis of the bottle" and.......................

""there's no official word" on the analysis or the filing of any charges."

Sources: Vick will be exonerated for Miami incidentESPN.com news services

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was not carrying marijuana or another illegal substance at the Miami airport and will be exonerated, league sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Sunday.

On Wednesday, Vick surrendered a water bottle to security at Miami International Airport that authorities believed smelled like marijuana and contained a substance in a hidden compartment. Vick was not arrested and was allowed to board his flight to Atlanta.

When reached by The Associated Press on Sunday, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wouldn't comment on the report.

Miami police had said it could take weeks to decide whether charges would be filed against Vick, a three-time Pro-Bowler. As of Monday, investigators were awaiting results of a crime lab analysis of the bottle, which appeared to contain only water but also had a hidden compartment that contained a "small amount of dark particulate" and an odor consistent with marijuana, according to a police report.

Miami-Dade County police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said Monday "there's no official word" on the analysis or the filing of any charges. A spokesman for State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said investigators had not made a recommendation on whether to prosecute.

"It has not reached us," spokesman Ed Griffith said.

A Falcons team source confirmed to Mortensen that the team expects to hear something formal by Monday.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I agree, it sounds fishy to me. Even if mary-jane wasn't in the secret compartment in the water bottle, who walks around with something like that? Why would you have a secret compartment in a water bottle in the first place?

Also, nothing is official yet, only info that "league sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Sunday."

I agree. he shouldn't have the bottle in the first place. he put his self in that position and should be punished for that by the Falcons. he is employed by the Falcons. Take your own work for instance. If you were caught, basically with paraphanalia, i am certain there would be reprucussions and possibly a fireing.

Re: We were too quick to judge Vick....

Ok...whats the purpose of a "secret" compartment in a water bottle? Maybe I'm missing something...but all my water bottles hold water, no need for a secret compartment UNLESS I was trying to hide something thats more than likely illegal.

Come on...don't pee down my back and tell me its raining...we're not stupid!

Re: We were too quick to judge Vick....

something is always "fishy" with you guys....you guys form your opinions and no matter what happens in the case...or in this situation, no case...the guy is already guilty just because of who he is. the bottle is gone because they probably threw it awauy, seeing that it was not needed for evidence or anything. so there was a secret compartment...so what...i can go out and buy that same bottle right now...are you going to tell me that i am "up to no good" just because i have it?? or do i have to have mill8ions of dollars for that to happen??...but yet...there is a thread going about a nascar driver being arrested and yet everyone sits there and makes jokes about it?? pathetic....Vick wasn't arrested at the time, they tested it....he wasn't charged with anything...but because you guys don't like his image..he is still guilty...and whenever one of these NBA or NFL players gets "in trouble" and they find no reason to charge them with anything...all of a sudden, to you guys....it "fishy" and something is "being hidden".

Ok...answer this for me...what is the purpose of a secret compartment in a water bottle?

As for Truex getting arrested....not too many folks here can say they haven't urinated outdoor before...sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

With that said...willing to bet MANY folks here can say they HAVEN'T been stopped at an airport with a water bottle (which if you need reminded, isn't allowed on a plane anyways) that has a secret compartment!

just because you have a "secret compartment" doesn't mean you are up to no good. you are judging him on his image and

not on the FACTS!...THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT!!! but yet you sit here and judge him still. if there was something going on, he would have been arrested as soon as they found it. you guys just get in yiour mind that you don't like someone and yo ucan't let it go when that persons name winds up in the paper....and no, i bet not alot of people, if any have been stoped at an airport for that, but ask how many have been stopped for something that is not allowed....nail clippers, lighters, etc...does that mean they were up to no good also??? or do you have to look at the person and see how he dresses or talks first before you make your decision?

as for truex...like it of not HE BROKE THE LAW...yes many people may have done it...but urinating in public is still against the law....is that what you are going to tell you kids when or if this happens to them.."hey you went to jail, but it's ok because everyone does it"..that, along with the fact that the officer had to ask him several times to put his hands behind his back...YEAH THATS OK!!! geez...again...it is his imagae that makes it ok in everyones mind...but if it were some NFL or NBA player everyone would be calling him a moron, or saying "lock him up".

I'm not a judge...never said he was guilty or not guilty...just calling it the way I see it!

If there were secret compartments in the nail clippers or lighters...LOL...yeah I'd think they were up to no good!

I also don't think what Truex did was right and tell kids its ok to break the law. I do think that doing or selling drugs is alot worse than breaking the speed limit or urnating in public. Not saying Vick is guilty of using or selling drugs...I wasn't there and don't know what (if anything) was in the bottle. I just think some of these folks have enough $ that things can be kept quiet. If it looks like a fish, feels like a fish and smells like a fish...its prob. a fish!

BTW, still haven't answered my question...whats the purpose of a secret compartment in a water bottle?

pretty much anything you want...hiding valuables, money, kids can use them to hide candy from their parents wink.gif....they are not just for hiding drugs. smirk.gif

Come on Gregg! Use your imagination brother. I use my secret compartment to hide my nail clippers.

Wait a minute, that's a lie. Even though I'm a moron, I know better than to bring a water bottle into an airport. grin.gif
