I knew that NFL teams had some pretty major concerns about Marcus Vick, but… I didn’t know it was this bad. A full day after the NFL draft, Marcus Vick has yet to sign a free agent contract with any team. I thought he’d get drafted in the 5th or 6th round, and at least get a shot. But here we are, two days after the draft, and he still hasn’t signed with anyone. A homophobic hick power forward has signed a contract… and Marcus Vick hasn’t.
I hope he’s just taking his time and sorting through the offers, looking for the best situation, trying to find the city with the least depth on the QB chart, and the most lax security at area McDonalds franchises. But it’s also possible that no one’s calling at all… which would be absolutely amazing, considering the talent he displayed at college. I find it hard to believe that with all the character issues people have had in the NFL, that they’re drawing the line at Marcus Vick.
We shall see.

When exactly did Frank Beamer start fielding losers? I bet Adam Morrison isn’t this much of a pussy.
“Virginia Tech cornerback Jimmy Williams planned the biggest party of his life for Saturday. He rented out almost a full floor of the Embassy Suites in Hampton, Va., and invited 75 friends and family members to watch him get selected in the NFL draft. They would gather around the television for 12 picks at the most, Williams thought. Then they would eat and celebrate.
“It was like, ‘I’ll get drafted somewhere between four and 12, then we’ll party,’ ” Williams said.
Instead, Williams spent much of Saturday afternoon locked in a hotel bathroom with his father, praying and questioning his past behavior. Then he left the hotel and took an hour-long drive, abandoning the party he had helped plan.”
He was taken 37th by the Falcons (aka. Va Tech at Atlanta).

Locked in the bathroom with his dad, because he slipped in the draft? Christ, what a pussy.
Winston Justice was probably out punching through cars in rage.
