- adidos, on 10/12/2007, -4/+110I'm surprised that he didn't grab the water bottle and scramble through the security checkpoint, all the way to the plane for a touchdown.
- Shirk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+68"aroused the suspicion of Transportation Security Administration screener Gertrude Joseph. She pulled the bottle out of a recycle bin.."
Gertrude brought her A game - mazerrackham, on 10/12/2007, -4/+70This may be the break we needed to finally win the War on Drugs!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -19/+83of course the stoner doesn't realize liquids aren't allowed on airplanes anymore ;)
- spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -7/+47Wait, so on digg, you smoke weed then you're awesome
If you're a celebrity who smokes weed you're awesome.
If you're an athlete who smokes weed then you're an idiot.
Is it because they have a huge contract? Most people who smoke weed have to take drug tests at work. They risk their livelyhood to smoke weed, he risks his livelyhood to smoke weed. Ahhh hypocrisy. - GoDawgs7, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40are you sure it wasn't Ron Mexico who tried to sneak the pot on the plane?

You're a complete blowhard. He obviously didn't want to bring it through because it had SOMETHING in it. It could have been anything, from drugs to explosives. The screener was doing her job, and she went above and beyond to enforce the law. You don't just enforce SOME of the laws, jerkoff. - flernk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+36Forget the marijuana, I'd have a tough time giving up that safe!

- evilbert420, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26"You don't just enforce SOME of the laws, jerkoff."
Actually, it's done in Seattle. A few years back Seattle voters approved a measure that makes marijuana possession the lowest priority for the police. Since then, I've spoken with some officers that say they are definitely following the measure.. so much that if they see people smoking weed in a car, they'll just yell to them over the loudspeaker to get out of the car and take a walk. If somebody is jaywalking and another man is smoking a joint, they WILL go after the jaywalker. Although the laws against marijuana still exist, the police have chosen (with the backing of the populace) to not enforce them.
It's just sad that instead of overturning the law, voters had to find other ways to nullify its effects. - rkoopmann, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22"Vick is two years into a 10-year, $130 million contract with the Falcons."
that's a little over $35k per day...with that kind of cash, why didn't he just send someone ahead of him to buy some local bud? - dpcdomino, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19He did not pass the airport screeners? Ironic.
- DontSayFanboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18On the other hand, if someone who catches balls and runs really fast wants to smoke some weed on their time off then what business is it of mine? It is not a performance enhancing drug. Minor drug possesion should not be a crime, and it certainly shouldn't ruin a multimillion dollar career. The War on Drugs has completely invaded our personal lives, and that even applies to sports stars.
Drop them from their United Way contract, not from the league. - dpcdomino, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Coach Killer is not an arrestable offense yet.
- technoticau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14fumble!
- firsttube, on 10/12/2007, -12/+25who gives a *****? Get a life. Some superstar who's in the NFL smokes weed? Holy crap, stop the presses!
- DeepDoo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15If I had a season like his, I would toke it up too.
- farglebargle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Regulation, not Law.
Regulations are created by Unelected Federal Employees.
LAWS are created by Congress.
A minor point, but in some ways a very significant difference. - whiledo, on 03/25/2009, -0/+11Wow, they really hammered on the "HERPES COLD SORE" angle. Get a clue people - ALL cold sores are "herpes" cold sores. People just don't like to call it herpes because of the stigma. Most of the adult population are herpes carriers - they're just asymptomatic. Also, though there are two different strains, there is no real difference except where they typically infect you. If he has actual outbreaks, it's most likely that this is HSV-1, the same type of herpes that most other adults have. If it was HSV-2 (the inappropriately named "genital herpes"), it is very unlikely you'd get cold sores. And if it is HSV-1, it's very hard to transfer to someone other than to their face. It is possible, though. But if they did get HSV-1 in their wobbly bits, they would also be unlikely to have outbreaks (each strain is nearly powerless out of it's home territory). It's also extremely difficult to transfer HSV-1 from genitals to genitals.
So, anyway, having actually read something on the subject, the way that article is written is fairly ridiculous.
Good info on how the strains differ:
http://www.herpes.com/hsv1-2.html - shaggytn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13He threw another INT. Typical Vick.
- Hoov, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Michael Vick's a terrorist. Now imagine if they didn't catch him, he'd be getting high off of reefer and plotting our deaths. D-E-D, DED. God bless the war on drugs.
- waynechng, on 10/12/2007, -7/+17$120 million contract ... zero IQ ... what a dumbass! If someone gave me a $120 million contract, I'd be the most squeaky-clean son of a bitch on the planet!
- firsttube, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10It's security's job to make sure everyone is safe. Not digging in the trash to find out why mike vick was acting funny. Let alone being the hero to find the secret compartment for bud... Their job is Security, not Pain In The Ass.
- 98acura, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12ron mexico, strikes again!
- misterpony, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Earlier this year, pics of Vick: http://www.mediatakeout.com/Exclusives/Mike_Vick.html
- mre5765, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8OK I'm confused. TFA says:
"Vick is two years into a 10-year, $130 million contract with the Falcons."
It also says he was flying AirTran (aka ValuJet ..planes that explode in the air).
Has the guy never heard of private jets? No security crap on those.
I don't get it. - No13Baby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8That's some high quality sarcasm.
- hockey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7He's keepin it real yo
- KSUdesigner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Plotting is about as far as he'll get. He'd end up getting the munchies, finding food and forget what he was doing before he ate.
- existent, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Just another ***** keeping the bitter virgin nerd thing real.
- DimitroffVodka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Not taking a hit off that Blunt. I like to stay Herpes free for as long as possible.
- finbec, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"...ultra productive member of society..."
Huh? He plays football for a living. If drinking beer and watching TV was a sport, would that make me 'ultra productive'? I want to live in your world....a world where everyone is unable to grasp the sarcasm of the parent comments. - hudson99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The"suspicious behavior" probably never existed. What got them to look in the trash was probably "Hey, we have Mike Vick's water bottle in there! I can give it to my kid or sell it on ebay!"
- Humptydank, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7It feel sorry for him.
It's like that time I got busted for trying to get on a plane with a pound of Semtex hidden in a huge brick of hash. I got nabbed by two separate dogs.
It's just impossible to keep up these days. - LowFuel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Naw it was intentional grounding.
- flazz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+710-year, $130 million contract with the Falcons.
why is he flying AirTran??? can't he afford better? - Hoov, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7It's called resin.
- freshjess, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Legalize it, decriminalize it--whichever. We have bigger fish to fry.
- AntBing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6That would have required him to be intelligent...and After the Ron Mexico thing, I'm pretty sure he's deficient in that category.
- Starways, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Why is everyone on Digg so uptight ?
No-one here has ever enjoyed smoking a little weed ? What's the big deal ? Vick wants to get a little high from city to city that's all. I mean just look at the guy. You know what's up. I don't see why everyone is so upset. - darksheer, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Oh noes! Not the mari-juwanna!
*yawn* - MrCizzo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I love how he tries to hide it in a water bottle which clearly isn't allowed into airlines since this past summer.
- josegutz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4No... you are all wrong. Its a secret compartment for his Gatorade Concentrate that injects just the right amount into the water everytime he fills it up...
- majortom1981, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Well considering he acted very suspiciously when they asked him to throw it away and he initially refused to even though law stated he had too.
Security did nothing wrong and its the players fault for trying to smuggle drugs onto the plane in the first place.
Security is just doing there job, also they found a residue in the compartment.
Dont blast security for doing there jobs. - gnilrets, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
-- The Rev Lovejoy - BigPerm53, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6If OJ can get away with murder surely Vick can smoke weed.
- JackBandit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Shirk
"because they saw him throw it away and it was the only water bottle in the recycle bin." haha you know you're in america when... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4You would think a big time NFL quarterback would have the smarts to LEAVE THE FRICKIN' WEED AT HOME! If you gotta toke so bad you have to try and smuggle it on an airplane, move to Jamaica.
What's really messed up is dude makes enough money to afford his own jet, or at least charter a corporate. They play how many games a year? 16-20, right? Half of those away games. It's about $2,000/hour for a corporate. Even if it was 10 grand a pop that's just over 100K. He spends more than that on dry cleaning in a year. Let's see part with a 100K out of all your millions or get busted for pot by a TSA lackey making 40K a year? Gee, wow, that's a tough one there, Mikey.
That's what I can't figure out about celebs getting busted for DUI. Hire a frickin limo already or a cab. They can afford it. - icealchemist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@tralalaa
does AirTran even have 1st class?
if i made that kind of money, i would not be flying on AirTran. - dknighton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3And in his box of condoms, a secret compartment containing Funyuns.
