Vick needs to clean up his act
Marcus Vick must have been hanging around with Maurice Clarett. Just like Mo, Vick managed to get himself tossed out of his college football program. Virginia Tech had enough of its problematic quarterback and told him to get lost.
The school certainly had a laundry list of reasons. Most recently, Vick stomped on the calf of an opposing player during the Gator Bowl. Add to that: losing his driver's license, being charged with possessing drugs, and getting convicted for serving alcohol to underage girls.
It shouldn't have taken so long for the program to come to its senses. Vick is talented; however, he's been a public relations nightmare for Virginia Tech. If not for the Gator Bowl incident, Vick would still be in Blacksburg, where university officials would be hoping for him not to make an ass of himself.
If he doesn't change his act, he may become as welcome in the NFL as Clarett.
