[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3733285, member: 19675"] I can't speak to the way things work in other countries, but in the good ol' US of A, we have a nasty habit of not telling atheletes and entertainers "No!" As a result, they grow up with a sense of entitlement & untouchability that wouldn't seem out of place in a medieval court. There are all kinds of atheletes who have tossed away lucrative professional careers over utter garbage. A few years ago, a couple of linemen from a Florida university were so good they were universally expected to be drafted in the 1st or second round. That translates into large signing bonuses. Mere months before the NFL draft, they were busted for burglarizing a home. A crime that would have netted them a couple of hundred dollars between them in electronics instead cost each of them their freedom and millions of dollars. Ricky Williams showed every indication of having the talent to be a Hall of Fame running back in the NFL. Unfortunately, he has shown an even greater indication of being a big pothead, his NFL career essentially vanishing in a puff of bluish smoke. In addition, there may just be something wrong with the current generation of Vicks. Vick's brother Marcus, also on the path to fame & glory, was dismissed from VT's college team "due to a cumulative effect of legal infractions and unsportsmanlike play," got selected by the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent, currently has a conviction for "brandishing a firearm" and is facing legal actions involving fraud & sex with a minor. And the reason Michael Vick got caught in the first place is a cousin of his, busted for a drug charge, listed Vick's house as his legal residence...which meant the cops could go in and search it.
