Deadspin
I have no idea how reliable this is, but the blog Media Takeout says it has information that Michael Vick is paying for protection in prison. A "family member" of someone who writes for the blog claims to have been in the general population with Vick at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary, where Vick is serving a 23-month prison term for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy.
According to our source, Mike Vick is having a difficult time fitting in. The insider explained, "Michael Vick is not in [administrative segregation] — he's right there with the rest of the inmates. A few [inmates] stepped to him when he first got there but everything is cool now ... My [family member] says that he's paying a Mexican gang to keep him safe."
That's what happens when you refuse to assemble a prison football team to take on the guards.

I'd pay 3.25/hr to protect my butthole, too.
Holy Frijoles!
Ron Mexico should be thankful that his hermanos are looking out for him in the slammer.
If true, this is the smartest thing he's done in years.
...he's paying a Mexican gang to keep him safe.
Does he call them "Ron's Mexicos"? Please say he does.
This is going to have hilarious, and potential deadly, consequences when the black prisoners find out.

Please. All the guards would have to do is drop seven and force him to throw. Also, they could shoot him.
You're the bitch now, dog!
See Hillary, NAFTA is working just fine.
That quote reads like a madlib.
@Its The Beer Talking:
That Bowshy Lom shit? Now it's 400 dollars.

Chris Rock is wearing a nice suit.

Just wait till Schillinger finds him.
he's paying a Mexican gang to keep him safe
The Mets?
Mexican gang? He's a fool not to go with Barksdale or Stanfield kind of protection.
@Slothrop: +1
What he should be doing is working on some self-help videos, like "Caged Wisdom".
The comments over at mediatakeout are priceless.
Thank god Goodgirl2 let us know that she was fourth to post!!!!! I mean 7th!!!!
20 million can buy a lot of cigarettes!
By the way, there is no way this story is true.
No, Ron Mexico, dude, cop.
"Mira mang. You don't mess with Mikoh Veeck mang"
Well, he needed protection when he accidentally crossed Schillinger, and Ryan O'Reilly reccommended Miguel Alvarez.
@Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: almost forgot: 23rd!!!!!
/didn't really count, just estimating
@Camp Tiger Claw: +Uno, hermano.
Marcus is getting a tattoo of Leavenworth. He's then going to get thrown into jail and him and Mike are going to escape.
If he's worried about protection in prison, I hear a napkin, elastic band and a packet of mustard will do in a pinch.
@Doyle McPoyle: He should have chosen Adebisi.
@Slothrop: who says illegal immigration is a problem? Mexican gangs: doing security jobs Americans won't!
Goldberg has fallen on hardtimes since his days with WCW - a security guard?
I hope he's taken to wearing an Adebisi hat.
Since Vick made his living scrambling when his protection broke down, I think he'll be ok when he takes off with his manhood.
@Gourmet Spud: have you been watching mythbusters?
@Sir Hotbod Handsomeface:
Ralphus was unavailable.
Even the dapper don paid for protection in the big house
$50k to the AB
Vick's an idiot. Squirrel Master would have protected him for no payment.
Some commenter (who turns into SAS at the end of his quote) thinks this is bullshit:
Quit Lyin MTO! Michael Vick is NOT in main population. This is how you know MTO is lyin. "ADSEG" is the HOLE not PC. In the joint if you get in a fight you go to Administrative Segregation (ADSEG). If you need protective custody (PC)its not called Administrative Segregation. I have been in Criminal Justice since 1988 so I know. Before you guys put out your ERRONEOUS stories you should at least research. Levenworth is a federal correction facility that is KNOWN for its good GRUB! They are served shrimp, steak etc. EVERYONE KNOWS THE FEDS HAVE THE BEST EVERYTHING! FOOD, HOUSING, FACILITIES ETC. Michael Vick is a KNOWN FEDERAL INFORMANT, to put him in main population would PUT HIS LIFE IN DANGER! Parf of the Vick plea agreement was for him to RAT on any and all dog fighters in the south. MIKE VICK IS IN PROTECTIVE CUSTODY!!
@Its The Beer Talking: Wait til Nasty Nate finds out about this...Naughty Jungle of Love!

Can we get our featured comments from here instead of TWWL?...Please??
@Sir Hotbod Handsomeface:
Close. "MuffDyver", the McGyver porn.
@Jews For Purple Jesus: I'll just add that if his protection does break down that the medical staff at Leavenworth is going to have a hell of a time treating all the new cases of herpes.
I figured Marmaduke had people on the inside.
Word on the street is the Sisters have taken a liking to Ron Mexico.
@Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies: it's Media TakeOut. Bullshit is a sizable part of the equation -- however, the idea that someone wants to give Vick a physical reminder to stop snitchin' is amusing.
Hey, I guess he agrees with Lou Dobbs, and wants a fense on the Mexico border.
Andy DuFrane > Ron Mexico.
Mike Vick is having a difficult time fitting in.
Well, at least he's playing pitcher, not catcher.
@Its The Beer Talking: Nasty Nate is always lurking. Always lurking for new fish.
Does the n-word offend you......nigger?
No sir.
@racistmascot_inc: Check out commenter DLBrother, pictured with his...uh...boyfriend?
@Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies:
Well, even with the unnecessary caps, he's probably right. Vick said he'd testify about other dog-fighting rings, right? No way they risk him getting killed in General Pop.
Once the licence plate factory roof needs a new coat of tar I'm sure everything will turn around.
He should have just made friends with Drederick Tatum
@Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies: EVERYTHING I RAPE IS IMPORTANT!
Offending inmate: Black Power!
Vick: But I'm black?
