O.K.  I have admitted I am naive.  I guess I just want to trust people.  I want to see the best in people.  I mean, I even believed Clinton.

So consequently, I have been politically assasinated and fired in two jobs with city government.  You would think I would be quite the conspiracy theorist by now.  O.K.  So maybe inside I don't trust people.  If you see me write a mean streak now you will know where it is coming from.  But to survive, I need to learn optimism. 

So let me make this perfectly clear, I do not believe there is a coverup in the Michael Vick Bottlegate incident.  However, the behavior of Miami-Dade Police Department sure makes you think otherwise.

Michael Vick

A security video showing Falcons quarterback Michael Vick surrendering a water bottle to a security screener at Miami International Airport was erased because it would not be
needed for evidence.  The Jan. 17 video was part of the investigation into the water bottle with a hidden compartment that an initial police report said  contained a "small amount of dark particulate" and an odor consistent with marijuana.  Authorities this week said lab tests showed no evidence of drugs, and the bottle is no longer considered evidence in an investigation.  Vick was cleared by police of any wrongdoing.  In a report on its web site, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said it requested a copy of the video on Jan. 18 from the Miami-Dade Police Department under the state's public records law.

What is Leon2114 smoking?

The Falcons GM came on National TV and was quick to ridicule Michael Vick before he even knew what and if the so called substance in his pouch was illegal. He was quick to put his self in front of the camera to make Vick look bad, now he shies away from the spotlight and makes comments behind the scene. He needs to make a public apology.

I'm With Detroitsports

  Hi, I'm Michael Vick, I smoke marijuana but don't get caught for it because I play in the NFL. Who are you?

Matt Schaub

Due to the rising tenders for restricted free agents, Atlanta will be forced to pay Matt Schaub $2.069 million in 2007 salary to avoid receiving any less than a first-round pick as compensation if a team signs him.  The highest, or "first- and third-round tender" for restricted free agents would require the Falcons paying Schaub $2.35 million in 2007.

Ashley Lelie

Ashley Lelie is scheduled to be a free agent after voiding the final year of his contract.  Fox Sport's Jay Glazer calls him the best free agent wideout on the market.  

Peerless Price and Ashley Lelie are two good receivers that left or are leaving Atlanta.  Way to go Vick.  Will any receiver want to come to Atlanta where their livlihood relies on an irresponsible quarterback that will never put up big passing numbers?
