We know that the same attorneys, who on the day of his arraignment boldly professed that it was "the first step in proving his innocence", have now meekly recommended that he take his first steps in an orange jumper.

We know that the reminaing two of his three co-defendants have implicated Vick as the bankroller and willing animal murderer in the "BadNewz" operation.

Yesterday, even Arthur Blank has turned to less than subtle messages to his team's ex-"QB"about how he lied to the Falcons and The NFL. He went on to say that he anticipated a plea deal last night.  

Yet Friday came and went. Proving further just what Mike Vick is all about. It shouldn't surprise us. Mike Vick is all about Mike Vick, and he's really stupid too. Any QB who flips off his home fans and throws his team mates and coaches under the bus obviously thinks he's not responsible for his work. Not responsible for developing into an even average QB, not responsible for improving his game above sandlot level, and not responsible for bankrolling and particpating in the gruesome torture and murder of defenseless animals.

Vick's disregard for the owner, the organization, his team mates and decent society in general is consistent with psychopaths and sociopaths alike. Sick, selfish, and sleazy perps do the kind of things Vick does and of course, they expect to get away with it. It's sad to say, but those characters behave that way because of their utter disregard for others.

So while I had expected Vick's attorneys to usher in a plea deal yesterday. I'm completely unsurprised that Ron Mexico did not take their advice. He's gripping tightly to the notion  that the laws of decent society do not apply to him.

I chuckle at the press's repeated statements that Vick's team is "negotiating" a plea deal with the Government. It doesn't work that way, especially when the star defendant has nothing to offer because all of his co-defendants have prepared to testify against him. Perhaps Vick is considering handing over his dope dealer or supplier, so that could be slowing a deal. Short of that, the Government hands the defendant the deal and the defendant signs it, with no guarantees by the way.

So for at least the present, it appears that Vick is willing to continue to hang the Falcons out to dry, all while making the worst decision this side of buying tickets on the Titanic.

He mustn't be considering the fact that the Feds don't pursue superceding indctments with lesser charges. That if he waits another day or so he'll be looking at racketeering charges. The instant that new indictment hits, the old deal is off the table, and his "high priced" mouthpiece is trying to cut twenty instead of six.

Of course RMex is stupid/selfish enough to think that, despite a tidal wave of evidence against him, he can somehow walk away from this. That's how sociopaths and psycopaths think.

But he's kidding himself. As are many of you, if you're thinking it doesn't get worse every second from here on in. Kidding himself if he thinks he'll ever don an NFL uniform again. Kidding himself if he thinks the press or the fans will ever forgive him if he goes to trial and the gory, posterized blowups of his sickness are writ large for the public to see.

As Bill Simmons would say, "the guy has a fork in his back". In this case it's a pitchfork, because that's what they use to shovel ####

So maybe that's why Vick is sitting and waiting. After all, he's not used to getting caught, is he? He's spent a career avoiding punishment and racing away unscathed. So for his sake, one of those high priced sleaze-protectors should sit him down and tell him that this isn't the Georgia Dome in which he's playing, and he's not merely trying to slip a tackle. The game was over the minute the Feds started the clock.

Mike Vick betta recognize, brutha's. He's playing in a whole new league now. Everbody gets tackled in this game.
