Michael Vick Not Just Chillin', Apparently

vickperp.jpgI 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.
