Not hating on broadcast companies but ratings drive up ad revenue and stories that let us judge people to be worse than us mean more profit.

I know and it's sad. I'd MUCH rather hear about stories like Driver than Michael Vick and his hood brother and friends.

That's nice to hear, but being on the other side I'll just say that when we try to tell those stories people don't seem to hear/see/read it nearly as much as many claim they would.

That said, don't miss...http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/06/21...ly-18-22/54793

Michael Vick just needs to go back to jail...bad crap just follows him around. He contributes nothing to society, and is a waste of my oxygen...so is his brother.

What I don't understand, and as someone else mentioned, why couldn't Vick just spin this another way: Have the party at Disneyland or Applebees? Sounds corny, but that's a part of the PR game.

For the record, I'm not hating on Vick or wishing him any ill, but he's just stupid.

I hear you 12th. But Vick doesn't give a damn about his PR campaign. He was all gun ho last year when it came to saying the right things and all, but so many of Vick's problems come in the offseason, Dog fighting BS not included as that was year round crime, I am talking about his other off field issues.

He really does not seem and never has seemed sincere about his rehibilitaion or lack there of. BTW I never really got a sensse of a guy who was sorry for what he had done, just shocked that he got in trouble for it. Then coming out of jail he just said the right things to get his real money making scheme back on track. Posing as an NFL QB.

I do truly hope the guy gets it some day, but it hasn't quite sunk in to him yet how to handle yourself as an adult.

There are some elements about this latest Vick saga that just dosen't make sense to me.

One would think there would be bad blood between Vick and Quanis Phillips as a result of the dog fighting incident which all but ruined Vick's football career and cost him more than twenty months in federal prison. Unless that bad blood has received a transfusion (which would have required contact or communication of some sort) the question in my mind is, why would Phillips want to be around a man he virtually snitched on and caused so much agony? I can see no reason why Phillips would feel the need to show up at a Vick party where he might not be well received unless he felt reasonably assured there would be no repercussion. Or, did he go there with the intention of settling an old score with Vick that maybe we don't know about?

Thats a good question. If MV tried to keep away from this guy, and the guy is still trying to get back in MV's good graces and MV doesn't want anything to do w/ him maybe the guy is asking for trouble. You sell your friend out to save your own self and expect to be welcomed back dont expect a warm reception.

Now shooting him is going over board. There is no reason for that whoever shot should have just punched him like a man.

There is one other element that warrant's mentioning, why won't Phillips reveal to the authorities who shot him? I'm sure he has a good idea.

Its the whole no snitch rule to bad his already broke that once.

[mooby]

He probably got shot because he was probably labeled as a snitch by everyone he hung out with after reports got released that he gave info to the feds about Vick's dogfighting operation. Snitches get stitches and that's what he got. Idk why he was still trying to go there in the first place, dude had to know he wouldn't be welcomed with open arms.

Not even. Vick can't have parties, period. Not at a club, not at home, not at a Chucky Cheese. Whether he's involved or not, he needs to keep it to a few people over for dinner and Netflix. Or at least that's how I would've lived my life after getting the second chance of a lifetime.

Not again.

If this is true he is the biggest IDIOT on the planet, EVER! All "white" affair....? LOL
