Marcus Vick going to jail
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
Michael Vick's yonger brother, Marcus, is going to jail for 20 days for violating his probation, according to the Daily Press.
Per the report, Marcus was convicted of driving under the influence, eluding a police officer, and driving on the wrong side of a divided highway last October.
His prison sentence was suspended on the grounds that he followed certain provisions. However, Marcus tested positive for marijuana at a drug screening, did not complete an alcohol counseling program and failed to pay court costs.
Marcus' attorney tells the Daily Press he plans to appeal the sentence.
Marcus is 25 years old.
Michael is eligible to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Jaguars, although Andy Reid would not say for certain that he will be on the field.
If you're looking for my take on last night's game, I took a closer look at the Colts' opening drive and what went wrong for the Eagles' defense.
I also just re-watched the first half and will post more thoughts later this morning or early this afternoon.
Dumb and Dummerer!— Ruiz the Great

- Do you think the Eagles planned it this way? To attract national attention by hiring an ex-con and then get cleaned out on the field every game there after? This must be pretty embarrasing for them...— MFPhils
- Yo VickisKing. Its public knowledge that he's reporting on. If you dont like it, YOU shut up. Marcus vick is way screwed up, and he is no skeleton in the closet. His legal issues have been all over the news for years. You tell Sheil to "get a grip." At what point did he flip out, overa-nalyze, critique, or offer any opinion on the legal or moral status of Marcus? I think you just wanted to rip on someone for no reason. Shut up and get your own blog. Dr Michael - how many times is your dumb A gonna get banned "5isaking, 5isakingandaleader, igotswagga." Stop talking. No ones cares about your dumb, biased opinions. Dont you realize everyone who reads this blog knows who you are even when you change your name b/c of your idiotic opinions and uncontrollable man love for McNabb.— tripschaos
