I hope none of the strippers were wearing dog collars


Mike Vick Spent His First Night Out of Federal Custody Like Any Guy Would Have: At a Strip Club in Virginia Beach
Deadspin.com

Former NFL QB Mike Vick had been in prison for 19 months before being released into federal custody in May. Monday, he was released from federal custody. What was the first thing Vick did? The former Falcons QB went to Atlantis strip club in Virginia Beach, Virginia, according to a source who spotted him at the club and a DJ at the jiggle joint who did not want to be quoted by name. Vick was partying with NBA free agent Allen Iverson, the source and DJ both said. [Update: Vick denied visiting a strip club, saying he was "out of town." The AP reported that earlier in the week, he was in Richmond. It's a two hour drive from Va. Beach to Richmond.]

After getting a tip from a reader Wednesday, and seeing this post at YBF saying the same thing, we called the club half a dozen times until we were able to get someone on the phone tonight around 10:15 pm. “Monday’s are crazy here, it’s amateur night, and it’s packed,” said the DJ, who did not to be quoted. He checked with a few of the dancers about whether or not Vick and Iverson were present Monday and said, “yup, both of them were here. It’s the first place I’d want to go as a free man, too.”

I seriously hope this doesn't give Roger Goodell reason to keep Vick out of the league. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Vickite but I don't think a visit to a strip club makes you a bad person. Yes, he brutally beat and killed dogs but he served his time for that. Why should a strip club visit with AI change Vick's possible NFL status. It was different for Pacman Jones. He acts like an ass at strip clubs. Sort of like ET. But Vick had a dogfighting problem. Not a naked women problem. The two are mutually exclusive. Set him free Roger!
