Bottom Of The Barrel

Pot on a Plane

No this is not the sequel to the over-hyped under-performing Samuel Jackson film but rather another incident involving over-rated Atlanta Falcons quarterback, Michael Vick. Yesterday Vick was stopped by airport security in Miami and asked to dispose of his water bottle before passing through security. After much discussion and hassle, he finally disposed of the bottle but the agents noticed it had a particular aroma and subsequently retrieved said bottle and found a hidden compartment with a "residue" which is currently under investigation by the Miami police.

Notice to all air travelers: In our Post 9/11 world, the TSA has a long list of items you can not take on a plane and liquid over 3 ounces is one of them. That includes pro athletes.

One thing that does escape me is my a very public figure who is in the second year of a 10 year/$137 million dollar contract would be concerned with a cheap water bottle and some weed. Why wouldn't he just throw it away and buy some more in Atlanta? I think he can afford it.

For those of you who are looking for your very own water bottle with a compartment, you can buy them online for $30. Although I think I like this home made model better.

Maybe he's smarter than we are and just preparing himself for life after football? Maybe it's all just a marketing ploy?

As seen on tv:

The signature Michael Vick Bottle Safe. But wait you will also receive a complimentary Falcons FU foam finger and you won't even have to pay a $10,000 fine to use it. And if you order in the next 10 minutes you will also receive a venereal disease laden "interaction" with Mr. Vick himself. Operators are standing by so order now!
