Sometimes the day you report to jail can be the busiest shopping day of all. Records now show that Falcons former quarterback Michael Vick blew through a staggering $201,840 on the day he reported to jail on felony dog fighting charges, according to AJC.com.
His “To Do List” that day looked something like this:
Buy new Mercedes — $99,000
Cash Checks laying around house — $24,900
Give money to mom of my oldest kid — $28,000
Give “friend” some money — $16,000
Misc. last minute impulse buys — $10,940
Bunch of money to PR firm — $23,000

I am no fan of Michael Vick or any sport person but I do not understand why they keep placing themselves in situations that are clearly unnecessary. When becoming a celebrity part of the job, that most do not sign up for, is being under a microscope. If it were me I would not have trusted anyone enough to come on my personal property and commit a crime. I think dog fighting is cruel but so is racing dogs. I didn’t really have a feeling about what he did to the dogs but I did think how he did it was ignorant. My father has always told me ” it’s not so much what people do as much as how they do it” I believe that. I believe there is a way to do just about anything. In Mikes case, I believe he had enough money to purchase a place away from his home and he did not have to be there to watch the dogs fighting but I am sure his arrogance got the best of him. Now I read that he spent more on a Mercedes than what he gave the woman who is taking care of his child. I now believe he is arrogant, irresponsible and stupid.
