Vick's Water Bottle

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has been called many things in his NFL career. Vick has been called a "Pro Bowl QB", Jim Mora, Sr. called him a "coach killer", and to pharmacists in the Atlanta know him as "Ron Mexico".

Well, add another moniker to the list: "Idiot"

Why?

Vick "was found Wednesday at Miami International Airport allegedly carrying a water bottle with a hidden compartment".

What was in that compartment? Residue that officials described as having a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana.

Welcome to the NFL, Bobby Petrino.

It should be noted that Vick has not been charged with a crime, and the substance is in the process of being analyzed. But still, you'd have to "less than smart" to even attempt to bring a bottle water through a security checkpoint.

The only action Michael Vick needed to take to avoid what will assuredly be a media frenzy was toss the bottle of water into the many trashcans located at or near the security gates. After all, the guy has a 9-figure contract, and bottled water sells for $5 once you're inside the terminal.

Which is why I'm inclined to believe that Vick was attempting to conceal the tricked out bottle of Aquafina. Why else would he have such an attachment to that particular bottle of water, if he wasn't using it to hide something?
