Marcus Vick dismissed from the team

[mikesears]

One quote stood out to me and it wasn't Vick's. It was his Mom's quote:

"Everybody does it in the NFL and college football," Boddie, speaking to The Associated Press by phone from her home, said. "He just got caught doing it, and since he's been in trouble in the past everything just got blown all out of proportion."

The article says a little further down, "Boddie acknowledged that her son 'did the wrong thing' when he stomped on an opponent during the Gator Bowl"

OK Ms Vick, your son did something wrong, but it is okay because everyone else does it? I can just hear my own mother right now. If everyone else jumped off a bridge.....

Ms. Vick, quit making excuses for your son, get in his face and tell him to clean up his act or the NFL really will mean, NOT FOR LONG for your son.
