Source: Vick wasn't in D.C. last night
Posted by Mike Florio on July 5, 2010 8:41 AM ET
On Sunday, Robert Littal of BlackSportsOnline.com reported that Eagles quarterback Mike Vick decided to follow up the "All White" commemoration of his 30th birthday with an "All White" celebration of the 234th birthday of the entity that put him behind bars for dogfighting -- the United States of America.
Via an update to his initial post, Littal reports that Marcus Vick was at the party.
Via a phone call I received while honoring America by catching at least a dozen fish swimming in one of her rivers, Mike Vick did not attend the party.
Per a league source, Mike Vick went to a barbecue in the Philadelphia area.
Our guess? Marcus Vick hatched the idea for a series of "All White" parties, and Mike agreed, initially. Given the aftermath of Mike Vick's birthday party, he bailed. But it apparently was too late to pull the plug on the party.
Which proves two things: (1) he has learned not to host parties while on probation; and (2) his decision to host a birthday party open to members of the public (including convicted felons) was one of the worst he had made since his dog yard in Virginia was discovered by authorities.

Phillips refuses to cooperate with authorities and reveal who the shooter was. Will be interesting to see where this case goes from here.

Snitches probably don't have very healthy lives in prison, so I am guessing Phillips probably learned a lesson or two about cooperating.

That's nice to hear, but being on the other side I'll just say that when we try to tell those stories people don't seem to hear/see/read it nearly as much as many claim they would.
That said, don't miss...http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/06/21/sportscenter-%E2%80%98my-wish%E2%80%99-series-returns-for-fifth-year-july-18-22/54793
I've seen those and it's a very nice gesture on the athletes part. But to be honest it's kind of cheesy.

I would be surprised if Philly doesn't cut the guy. The owner came out and said that he had to do "a lot of soul searching" when they decided to sign him. What that really means is he really didn't want the guy in the first place. So now all this nonsense happens. I mean the guy just can't leave his past behind. He just can't grow up and make smart decisions for himself. I can't count how many b-day parties I've been to and no one has ever gotten shot at. Simply ridiculous.

If I were Vick I would just turn my back on my little bro. At least until his career is over. Trouble just follows him where ever he goes.

NY vs. VA issue.
Much stricter gun laws.
Usually, VA guns don't go off until they cross the bridge into DC.
