It’s almost like a law. If you are a member of the Vick family, you must have a brush with local authorities at least once a year or they remove you from the lineage and strip you of your last name. Marcus Vick continued to prove why he’s Michael’s younger brother, getting arrested for DUI on Friday. The best part was that Vick was initially stopped by a bicycle cop because he was having an issue with a female. Showing complete disdain for a bicycle cop — as well he should — he sped off before finally being chased down minutes later.

Not one for bland times, Marcus failed a field sobriety test (apparently he doesn’t talk to Cedric Benson), and was charged with DUI, misdemeanor eluding police, reckless driving, driving on the wrong side of the word, and driving with a suspended license. That is quite the laundry list of activities. Talk about an exciting Thursday night. And I thought things were bad when he flashed a gun at a McDonald’s to kids who were making fun of him. Boy did I underestimate Mr. Vick. By the way, I wonder what he’s doing to support himself these days.

      I can’t believe the Vick brothers. This just goes to show you that you can take the boy(s) out of the ‘hood, but you can’t take the ‘hood out of the boy(s). How else can you explain having fame, more money than you can possibly spend, and still being stupid enough to blow it all? Has Marcus learned nothing at all from his older brother? Obviously not. I do feel bad for their mother, however. She has to be extremely embarassed over how her knuckle-head sons have behaved. I grew up in the same hometown (Newport News, Va) as the Vick brothers. They were once the pride of the city…now they just bring embarrassment. Way to go Mike and Marcus! By the way, what is Marcus doing these days (when not trying to elude police)? He’s probably working at a fast food restaurant…but not McDonald’s since he likes to pull guns on teenagers there.
