"AUTHENTIC" STATEMENT OF MICHAEL VICK: YEAH, RIGHT

Billy Martin of Scooter Libby Mutually Exclusive Defenses fame, read a statement from Vick yesterday that purported to be in Vick's own words, wherein Vick apologized to his teammates for missing "Spring Training".

Billy must like baseball as well as ghosting statements for his clients. There is no "Spring Training" in football. Nobody in football calls August camp "Spring Training". They call it "Camp" , "Summer Camp" "MC" for "Mandatory Camp" (Of course Briggs calls it "Optional Camp") or even "Training Camp" (archaic term) but never, ever "Spring Training".

Now, even if the statement was not authentic, Don'tcha think it would have been a good idea to throw in an apology to the owner who has wet nursed this young man through various "Ron Mexico" episodes.

Cue "Message in a Bottle"........
