Vick-tim?

Atlanta Falcon's QB Michael Vick was relieved of his water bottle at Miami International Airport Wednesday. Was it because of the silly new rule banning liquids? Nope. It was because it had a "secret compartment" that had "a small amount of dark particulate and a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana."

Looks like Vick's decision making off the field is as questionable as it is on.

One, Vick's got loads of cash. It's not like the Mary J is only sold in Miami. Just wait 'till you get wherever you're going and buy some there. Better still, Vick's a multi-millionaire with loads of people on his payroll, have someone from the entourage do it so you're not even close to the action (Limbaugh, as much as I like to nail him, had that figured out). But to be his own Wacky Weed mule? That's just not thinking. Why take the personal risk of getting caught with a dime bag at an airport. Everyone knows they screen, they screen for drugs, knives, guns, bombs and...

LIQUIDS! According to the SI story, "The compartment was hidden by the bottle's label so that it appeared to be a full bottle of water when held upright." So Vick's genius plot to smuggle his oregano was to hide it in a water bottle that was rigged to look "full." Did he miss the 27 signs saying that you can't bring liquids onto a plane anymore? That bottle was guaranteed to be searched, emptied and/or confiscated. His "plan" had zero chance of success. Why not just smuggle the stuff in a device rigged to look like a loaded gun?

If I'm Falcon's ownership I immediately trade Vick. Not because of the Marijuana, but because he's clearly a moron.
