Headline from the future (it's just humor).
October, 6th - 2007
Culpepper, VA (AP) Marcus Vick through a 17-yard touchdown pass to Perdogg, 41, with only 5 seconds to go as the "mean machine" defeated a group of prison guards 28-27, in a charity game prison football game shown on ESPN-2.
Ironically, Perdogg was sentance to 2 1/2 years in the January for beating up a man in a Manassas Va in bar, in an arguement after Washington upset Dallas, 35-23, in the divisional playoffs that stopped Dallas' 17-game winning streak.
He had to turn pro because he was a con.
Ooo, I can't wait to see him step on Warren Sapp.
It's his right to declare for the NFL draft, if he so desires. He should know that if he declares and goes undrafted, he loses all eligibility to return to playing in college.Having said that, where do you get the right to question his, or anyone else's desires? It's up to the NFL teams if one of them wishes to draft him, even if he is a nitwit.
For those not familiar with the disaster.
QB Ryan Leaf was drafted by San Diego.
Leaf was the second pick overall in the 1998 draft and got the richest contract in club history, including an $11.25 million signing bonus. But his rookie season was a disaster on and off the field. He was benched halfway through the season because of poor play on the field and boorish behavior off it.
yeah...
He sent me a really nasty FReepmail too
and THEN asked if I even KNEW what NWA meant...LOL
I mean I ONLY called him on it....
yep.
Vick will probably not get anything big on the signing bonus and, depending on where he's finally selected (and he will be selected) might just make the league minimum....
And"serving alcohol to underage girls" and "possesion of marijuana"?
Forty years ago,I would have been kicked off any team I was on if that was the criteria.
It's equally interesting to me that it appears as if the university president and AD are the ones taking action now, as if Beamer is reluctant.
I sure hope this kid gets it together and grows up to be a respectable person. He has plenty of athletic talent.
me too.
For his sake if no one else's....
I am a Louisville fan and thought that it was crude and stupid move. Emotions were high but this was too much. Thanks to AFN for another great event!
"The bigger story to me, an avid college football fan, is the descent of the Virginia Tech program into thugdom."
I guess they took the attitude that if you can't beat'em join'em. So who is it going to be the Canes, the CrimiNoles, or Ghettothugs from Blacksburg?
Ha!
Jets. First round.
Are you talking about Rt 27/Raritan Ave? I live in Highland Park - want to make sure there's not another speed trap I'm not aware of!
I'm getting tired of
football teams also acting as nannies.
nah.
They have too much invested in Pennington right now.
They need defensive help and a heir-apparent for Curtis Martin

Prison for what? Driving 38 in a 25? Get real.

Try statutory rape, JA.
